Salicylic acid is a colorless, organic compound with the chemical formula C7H6O3, renowned for its widespread applications in skincare and medicine. It is a beta hydroxy acid (BHA) with properties that make it effective for exfoliating and treating various skin conditions. In skincare, salicylic acid is used to treat acne by unclogging pores and reducing inflammation. It is also employed for its keratolytic properties, which help remove dead skin cells, making it valuable for treating conditions like psoriasis, warts, and calluses. In medicine, salicylic acid has historically been used for pain relief and fever reduction, and it is the precursor to aspirin. Its ability to address a range of skin concerns and its medical applications underscore its significance in both personal care and healthcare fields.
Salicylic Acid USP is used in pharmaceutical industries as well as its used in a great number of cosmetic applications for acne and oily skin as a chemical exfoliant It works as a keratolytic and comedolytic agent It is in many skin care products and dandruff shampoos It is also used as an intermediate in the production of agrochemical products dyes and colorants as well as in the rubber industry and in the manufacture of phenolic resins

Packing
External use of salicylic acid has antibacterial properties to microorganisms, and its antiseptic power is close to that of p-henol. Salicylic acid can dissolve keratin, and its pharmacological effects vary with the concentration of its preparation: 1%-3% has keratosis-promoting and antipruritic effects; common over-the-counter (OTC) salicylic acid shampoos available with 3% salicylic acid 5%-10% has a cutin dissolving effect, which can dissolve the adhesive between the connected squamous cells in the stratum corneum, thereby loosening the cutin and desquamating it, and can also produce antifungal effects (because the stratum corneum is removed and the growth of fungi is inhibited, Salicylic acid can help other antifungal drugs penetrate and inhibit bacterial growth). 25% has a corrosive effect and can remove the hypertrophic calluses. Suitable for seborrhea, seborrheic dermatitis, superficial mycosis, warts, corns, calluses and local keratin hyperplasia.

Salicylic acid
Salicylic acid is a white crystalline powder or needle-shaped crystals with sweetish taste.
Salicylic acid is a beta hydroxy acid (bha) with the formula c6h4(oh)co2h, where the oh group is adjacent to the carboxyl group. This organic acid is widely used in organic synthesis and functions as a plant hormone. It is derived from the metabolism of salicin. It is probably best known as a compound that is chemically similar to but not identical to the active component of aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid).
