This ultra-pure salicylic acid powder (4.58 oz / 130 g) is a cosmetic-grade BHA (beta hydroxy acid) exfoliant in its original form, containing no additives, fillers, or preservatives. The powder is designed for DIY formulation, allowing users to incorporate salicylic acid into custom cleansers, toners, shampoos, body washes, and lotions according to their preferred concentration.

Salicylic acid is a lipid-soluble exfoliant known for its ability to penetrate pores and help loosen dead skin cells, excess oil, and debris. It is commonly used in skincare to support a smoother complexion and to address concerns such as clogged pores, rough texture, and occasional breakouts. Because this product is unformulated, it offers flexibility in creating personalized treatments for the face, scalp, and body.

As a pure ingredient, the powder must be dissolved in a suitable solvent such as alcohol, propylene glycol, or polysorbate prior to use, as salicylic acid does not dissolve in water alone. Proper handling and accurate measurement are important to achieve safe and effective concentrations. This product is appropriate for individuals familiar with DIY cosmetic blending or those seeking to control the ingredients in their skincare and haircare routines.

The absence of additives makes it suitable for those who prefer to avoid unnecessary components in their formulations. This powder is not a ready-to-use product and should be handled with care, including the use of gloves and eye protection during mixing. It is recommended to conduct a patch test on a small area of skin before broader application. This salicylic acid powder provides a versatile base for creating targeted exfoliating and cleansing products at home.
