Salicylic Acid, a highly pure organic beta hydroxy acid (BHA) (> 99.9%), is well-known for its antiseptic properties, keratolytic (skin peeling) capabilities, anti-dandruff effects, and its efficacy in dissolving acne and purifying pores.

If applied in higher concentrations, it is essential to operate under the supervision of a physician or register the product as a medicine.
