Salicylic Acid Powder
Elevate Your Formulations with Pure Salicylic Acid Powder:
As a premium wholesale provider, we understand that cosmetics manufacturers demand only the highest quality ingredients to create effective skincare products. Our Pure Salicylic Acid Powder is specially crafted to meet these needs. Derived from natural sources and meticulously processed, this fine powder is ideal for cosmetics manufacturers focusing on formulas that clarify, refine, and enhance skin texture.
Why Choose Salicylic Acid Powder for Skincare Formulations?
Salicylic acid is a beta hydroxy acid (BHA) recognized for its potent exfoliating and skin-clarifying properties. Unlike many surface exfoliants, salicylic acid penetrates deeply, removing impurities and dead skin cells within pores. For manufacturers, this provides a reliable ingredient that enhances the efficacy of skincare lines targeting blemishes, congestion, and texture irregularities.
Benefits of Using Bulk Salicylic Acid Powder in Cosmetics:
- Deep-Cleaning Exfoliant: Unlike traditional exfoliants, Salicylic Acid Powder reaches deep within pores to dissolve impurities, making it a superior choice for cleansers, masks, and treatment products.
- Refined Skin Texture: Regular application of formulations with salicylic acid helps improve skin tone and texture, providing end-users with a visibly refined complexion.
- Gentle Yet Potent: Salicylic acid is known for being both effective and gentle on the skin, making it suitable for a range of products, from daily cleansers to concentrated serums and masks.
Incorporating Pure Salicylic Acid Powder in Your Vitamin-Enriched Formulas:
Salicylic acid is a unique addition to vitamin-rich formulations as it pairs effectively with active ingredients like Vitamin C and Vitamin E. Together, these ingredients create formulations that are as purifying as they are nourishing. While vitamins provide essential nutrients to the skin, salicylic acid enhances delivery by keeping pores clear, enabling more effective ingredient absorption and ensuring consumers enjoy optimal benefits from every application.
Technical Advantages for Cosmetic Manufacturers:
When you choose Pure Salicylic Acid Powder in bulk, you invest in a product that’s reliable in both quality and performance. Our wholesale salicylic acid powder is rigorously tested and standardized for purity, offering predictable results that empower manufacturers to create safe, effective, and compliant skincare products.
- Purity and Stability: We supply bulk salicylic acid that meets the highest purity standards, providing a stable and effective active ingredient that ensures product longevity and consistent performance.
- Versatile Applications: Salicylic acid works well across product types, whether as a primary ingredient in exfoliating treatments or a supporting ingredient in clarifying cleansers and toners.
Usage Ideas for Salicylic Acid Powder:
- Exfoliating Cleansers: Formulate a deep-cleansing facial wash that penetrates pores, removing impurities and delivering a refreshing, smooth finish.
- Clarifying Masks: Add salicylic acid to face masks for effective yet gentle skin purification, perfect for consumers with acne-prone or congested skin.
- Skin-Smoothing Serums: Create lightweight serums that help refine skin texture and tone, giving end-users a smooth and even complexion.
Quality Assurance and Responsible Sourcing:
At our company, we prioritize sustainability and quality in all our raw materials. Our Salicylic Acid is sourced from reputable suppliers in China and undergoes stringent quality testing, ensuring it meets industry standards and is safe for professional use in a variety of cosmetic formulations.

🌿 Benefits & Uses
Health & Wellness Benefits
Scientifically supported benefits
-
Keratolytic exfoliation (BHA): Salicylic acid dissolves intercellular bonds in the stratum corneum to unclog pores, reduce blackheads, and smooth skin texture—ideal for oily/acne-prone skin.
-
Sebum-soluble: Its lipophilicity enables deep pore cleansing versus water-soluble AHAs.
-
Anti-inflammatory: Helps calm visible redness associated with breakouts when used at appropriate pH and dosage.
-
Scalp care: Assists in lifting flakes and reducing scalp buildup in anti-dandruff systems.
Traditional & historical uses
-
Originates from willow bark derivatives (salicylates) used historically for soothing and exfoliating preparations; modern cosmetic grades are refined for stability and purity.
Mechanism of action (how it works)
-
Desmosome disruption: Loosens cohesive corneocyte links → controlled shedding of dead cells.
-
Oil-phase penetration: Aromatic ring increases solubility in sebum, targeting comedones more effectively.
-
pH-dependent efficacy: Optimal cosmetic activity typically when the finished formula pH is ~3.0–4.0 (leave-on) with validated safety.
Skin, hair & cosmetic benefits
-
Skin: Minimizes congestion, polishes texture, supports clearer-looking skin.
-
Hair/scalp: In shampoos/tonics, helps remove flakes and product buildup.
-
Formulation flexibility: Works in water-alcohol gels/toners and anhydrous stick/serum systems when properly dissolved/solubilized.
Key pairings ( links)
-
Solvent/humectant: Propylene Glycol
-
Non-ionic solubilizers/emulsifiers: Polysorbate 80, Ceteareth-20, Non-Ionic Emulsifiers
-
Complementary actives: Glycolic Acid, Lactic Acid, Niacinamide

Practical Applications & Uses
Cosmetics & personal care
-
Leave-on serums/lotions: 0.5–2% SA at pH ~3.0–4.0; dissolve in Propylene Glycol or alcohol before adding. Solubilize any free crystals with Polysorbate 80 or build an emulsion with Ceteareth-20.
-
Cleansers/face wash: 0.5–2% as exfoliating surfactant-friendly actives; typical rinse-off pH ~4.5–6.0.
-
Scalp tonics/shampoos: 0.5–3% to loosen flakes and buildup; pair with mild surfactants and conditioning polymers.
-
Peel formats (pro use): 10–30% in alcohol/propylene glycol systems—professional use only with strict pH/time controls.
Food & beverage
-
Not for ingestible cosmetic grade—do not market for consumption.
Pharma/nutraceutical (industrial)
-
Used in medicated topicals (grade-dependent); follow applicable pharmacopeial specs and local regulations.
Home & DIY
-
Pre-dissolve SA in Propylene Glycol/ethanol before emulsifying or solubilizing. Use Non-Ionic Emulsifiers to keep systems clear. Always measure pH and patch test.
Aromatherapy / traditional
-
Not an essential oil; functions as an exfoliating active within the cosmetic vehicle.
Traditional medicine
-
Historical salicylate use noted; modern formulations rely on standardized cosmetic grade for consistency.
