Salicylic Acid
Oil-soluble hydroxy acid
1. INCI et CAS
INCI: Salicylic Acid · CAS: 69-72-7
2. Rôle dans la formule
Salicylic acid is restricted by market. This guide uses 0.5% as a cosmetic starting point and does not claim OTC acne treatment, a peel, or a medical indication.
3. Niveaux d'emploi typiques (repère de formulation)
- Rinse-off clarifiers: confirm the market cap as a formulation guide.
- For leave-on, use only inside the destination limit, guide start 0.5% as a formulation guide.
Pre-dissolve in a suitable solvent or a hot water phase as the TDS allows. Confirm EU, US and China limits before filing.
4. Sources réglementaires et conformité mondiale
- CosIng may identify Salicylic Acid as an ingredient, but its entry does not approve a material grade or finished formula.
- An EU-market cosmetic under Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 requires a product-level safety assessment for the complete formula that contains Salicylic Acid for the completed formula, not simply for an ingredient in isolation.
- For Salicylic Acid, check the purchased grade against its supplier TDS and review filing requirements in the destination market.
5. Sécurité et évaluation des risques
Use the stated level as reference guidance for cosmetic formulation; it does not establish drug approval or OTC-monograph status so assess patch response and stability in the final formula.
6. Stabilité et conditionnement
Store sealed bulk away from heat and sunlight; evaluate packaging against the formula's susceptibility to oxidation; check the final package and formula together for compatibility and stability.
7. Formulations d'allégations (à faire / à éviter)
- The cosmetic role of Salicylic Acid is presented as low-level BHA clarifying.
- The development record provides no basis for drug claims, cure claims, or a certification that is absent from the product records.
- This cosmetic entry naming Salicylic Acid does not demonstrate skin whitening, acne treatment, antiperspirant use, sun protection, or hair growth.
