Product Overview
Salicylic Acid is a core shampoo and body wash ingredient used by formulators worldwide for keratolytic and pore-clearing active applications. This USP / cosmetic grade BHA material is supplied in bulk by VeraVita Biotech for B2B brands, contract manufacturers and private-label producers who need reliable quality, full documentation and consistent supply from China. Whether you are building a sulphate-free shampoo, a conditioning body wash, an anti-dandruff treatment or a mild baby wash, Salicylic Acid is the functional raw material that helps the formula perform.
Key Features
- Beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) with keratolytic and exfoliating action
- Oil-soluble, allowing it to penetrate pores and exfoliate inside follicles
- Widely used in scalp and body-care products for flaky, oily or blemish-prone skin
- Available as fine white crystalline powder or needles
- Supported by full COA and regulatory documentation
How It Works
- Keratolysis: salicylic acid disrupts intercellular desmosomes, encouraging shedding of dead skin cells from the scalp and skin surface.
- Lipophilic exfoliation: the aromatic acid structure is oil-soluble, so it penetrates sebaceous pores and hair follicles.
- Anti-inflammatory effect: salicylic acid is structurally related to aspirin and helps calm visible redness.
Typical Applications
- Scalp care: anti-dandruff shampoo, scalp detox shampoo, clarifying scalp treatments
- Body wash: acne body wash, keratosis pilaris body wash, exfoliating shower gel
- Skincare: cleansers, toners, exfoliating serums, masks
- OEM / ODM: BHA-based scalp and body-care formulations
