POTASSIUM SALICYLATE
Ingredient type:CONSERVATIVE
✨ Role: Potassium salicylate is mainly used as a keratolytic agent in cosmetic products. It helps exfoliate the skin by dissolving dead cells on the surface, promoting a more even, luminous complexion. It also helps unclog pores, which can be beneficial for blemish-prone skin.
Ingredient type: Water-soluble
⚕️ Safety: This ingredient is generally considered safe when used correctly in cosmetics. However, it is advisable to perform a tolerance test on a small area of skin to avoid possible irritation.
✨ Vegan: Yes, this ingredient is synthetic and therefore suitable for vegan formulations.
✨ Please note: Potassium salicylate is a derivative of salicylic acid, which means it may have irritant potential for very sensitive or irritation-prone skin. It's important to respect recommended concentrations and apply sun protection when using it, as keratolytic ingredients can increase skin sensitivity to the sun.
Present in: Often found in toners, exfoliants, cleansers and targeted treatments for acne-prone skin.
