Description

Salicylic acid is a beta-hydroxy acid used in skin-care products for treating acne and pimple-prone skin,  It has direct activity as an anti-inflammatory agent and acts as a topical antibacterial keratolytic agent, due to its ability to promote exfoliation. The encapsulation is formed by an “oligomer complex” Oligomer complex technology utilizes a highly hydrophilic polymer (dextrin) to encapsulate the active.
This version is an encapsulated and stabilized form of highly-concentrated (50%) water-soluble Salicylic Acid allows for up to 2% of salicylic acid to be soluble in water without recrystallization or skin irritation.

Key Benefits:

• Encapsulated and stabilized form of salicylic acid
• Encapsulated in an oligomer complex
• Water soluble
• Provides gentle exfoliation​
• Skin brightening properties
• Anti inflammatory

It is also commonly used in dandruff shampoos. Due to the acid’s ability to cause skin cells to slough off, facilitating new skin cell growth, unclogging pores, and removing overgrown skin cells.

Usage Rate: 1-4%
INCI: Salicylic Acid, Dextrin, Polydextrose, Amylopectin (and) Niacinamide

Solubility: water soluble

Suggested final formulation pH 4 – 7, Add to water phase prior to emulsification and ensure it is completely solubilized before continuing the formula. adjust pH before adding pH sensitive ingredients, Not temperature sensitive, May affect color of acid-sensitive colorants
FORMULATING GUIDELINES
• Suggested final formulation pH 4 – 7
• Add to water phase prior to emulsification Ensure it is completely solubilized before continuing the formula
• When it is dissolved, the pH will drop to around 4. Once solubilized, adjust pH before adding pH sensitive ingredients
• Use of carbomer thickener not recommended
• When using a polymeric thickener requiring neutralization, first neutralize polymer, then add salicylic (water soluble), then bring pH back up to thicken the polymer
• When using a polymeric thickener that does not require neutralization, solubilize it prior to dispersing the polymer
• No sensitivity to homogenizer or high agitation mixing
• Not temperature sensitive
• May effect color of acid-sensitive colorants
• Not recommended for use in anhydrous products
