What is it?

Salicylic acid is a beta hydroxy acid (BHA) widely used in skincare for its exfoliating, soothing, and pore-clearing properties. It penetrates deep into the pores to dissolve excess oil and dead skin cells, which can clear and minimize breakouts. Known for its purifying and clearing properties, salicylic acid is a staple in many skincare routines.

Information

Salicylic acid is a beta hydroxy acid (BHA) widely used in skincare for its exfoliating, soothing, and pore-clearing properties. It penetrates deep into the pores to dissolve excess oil and dead skin cells, which can clear and minimize breakouts. Known for its purifying and clearing properties, salicylic acid is a staple in many skincare routines.

Where does it come from?

Salicylic acid is derived from salicin, a compound found in the bark of willow trees (Salix species) and other plants. The acid is refined and purified to ensure its efficacy and safety in skincare formulations.

PURIFYING EXFOLIATING SOOTHING

What are the benefits?

  • Exfoliating: It can penetrate deep into the pores to exfoliate dead skin cells, minimizing clogged pores and promoting a clearer complexion.
  • Purifying:Can clear pores by dissolving excess sebum oil production and debris.
  • Soothing: Calms irritation and redness associated with skin conditions.
  • Tone-evening: Promotes a more even skin tone by minimizing the appearance of dark spots as it contributes to cell renewal.
  • Smoothing: Contributes to skin texture, making it smoother and more refined.

How is it used in our products?
