Salicylic acid

This additive substance is used in skincare products to treat acne and blemished skin, as well as various skin problems such as warts, corns, calluses, and psoriasis. It is also commonly used in anti-dandruff shampoos. This is because the acid's ability to cause skin cell peeling makes it easier for new skin cells to grow, opens clogged pores, and removes thickened skin cells. Instructions for use: a maximum of 2% is allowed in adult formulations that should be left on the skin and 3% as a maximum for rinse-off products. This ingredient must not be used in products targeting children under three years old except as part of the preservative or shampoo. Expires: 2026/11
