KSh 5,500.00Salicylic Acid
Predissolved salicylic acid
This refers to salicylic acid that has already been dissolved in a suitable solvent rather than supplied as a dry powder.
Because salicylic acid is poorly soluble in water, formulators often first dissolve it in solvents like propylene glycol, ethanol, or other glycols before adding it to cosmetic or pharmaceutical products.Salicylic Acid Isn’t Water-Friendly
Pure salicylic acid typically comes as a white crystalline powder and dissolves very poorly in water.
To effectively incorporate it into skincare solutions, toners, serums, or lotions, it must first be dissolved in a solvent that readily dissolves it .
At Formulators Haven, ours come dissolved at 4% strength.This saves time and ensures even distribution of the active ingredient in final formulations like toners, serums, or exfoliating products.
