product description
Salicylic Acid powder is a naturally occurring β-hydroxy acid (BHA). As a lipophilic organic acid, it penetrates deep into pores to dissolve sebum, making it an indispensable active ingredient in skincare for acne treatment and oil control.
Xi'an Le-Nutra Ingredients Inc supplies bulk salicylic acid powder produced via state-of-the-art synthesis processes, ensuring product purity exceeding 99.5% in compliance with standards. We offer both untreated raw fine powder and specially processed inclusion-type water-soluble salicylic acid. This addresses technical challenges associated with traditional salicylic acid formulations, such as poor solubility, tendency to crystallise, and high irritation potential. This enables your brand to develop gentle yet highly effective skincare solutions.

Product Characteristics
1. High Purity and Batch Consistency
Le-Nutra employs continuous distillation technology to effectively eliminate phenol by-products generated during synthesis. The high-purity powder ensures no off-odours or abnormal discolouration in final formulations, significantly enhancing the shelf-life performance of finished products.
2. Differentiated Specification Options
Industrial-grade/Cosmetic-grade Fine Powder: Suitable for alcohol-based solvent systems (e.g., toners, spot treatments).
Water-Soluble Inclusion Complex Grade (10%-40% active): Utilises advanced technology to dissolve directly in water without alcohol, simplifying formulation complexity.
3. Lipophilic Penetration
Compared to alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), salicylic acid powder for skin exhibits unique lipophilic properties. It penetrates pores via sebaceous glands, precisely targeting blocked sebaceous plugs to prevent acne formation at its source.
4. Multi-functional Physiological Activity
Beyond exfoliation, salicylic acid possesses inherent antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, effectively alleviating redness and discomfort associated with acne.
Product Efficacy
1. Deep Cleansing and Sebum Regulation
Within skincare formulations, Salicylic Acid Raw Material aids in dissolving and removing excess sebum and dead skin cell residue, thereby enhancing pore cleanliness. By reducing surface oil accumulation, it helps maintain a fresh complexion, promoting a more balanced and refined texture. It is particularly suitable for oil-control cleansers, toners, and targeted treatment products.
2. Gentle Exfoliation for Smoother Texture
This ingredient weakens intercellular bonds within the stratum corneum, promoting natural turnover of aged keratinocytes for a smoother, more refined surface. When incorporated consistently into exfoliating formulations, it helps diminish dullness and the appearance of enlarged pores caused by keratin buildup.
3. Soothes skin discomfort, elevates user experience
Across diverse formulations, High Purity Salicylic Acid Powder demonstrates excellent synergistic skin-calming properties. It helps alleviate redness and discomfort arising from cleansing, exfoliation, or environmental factors, ensuring products deliver efficacy while maintaining a gentle, pleasant application experience.
4. Scalp cleansing and care
In shampoo and scalp care formulations, this ingredient assists in loosening and removing dead skin cells and visible flakes from the scalp surface. It also helps regulate sebum distribution, leaving the scalp environment fresher and cleaner.
5. Synergistic Skin-Brightening Effects
By promoting the renewal of aged keratin containing pigment deposits, this ingredient indirectly enhances skin translucency and evenness. In brightening and skin-renewing formulations, it frequently serves as a foundational conditioning agent, synergising with other brightening ingredients.
Market Application
Skincare Applications
Salicylic Acid Powder is suitable for purifying and conditioning serums, oil-control toners, exfoliating products, blackhead-cleansing masks, and body care formulations. It enhances synergistic cleansing efficacy and skin texture balance.Hair and Body Care Products

Market Trends & Formulation
• Gentle Acid Peeling Trend: By 2026, the market will increasingly favour low-irritation formulations. We recommend combining Salicylic Acid powder with Centella Asiatica extract or Bisabolol to mitigate discomfort associated with acids.
• Controlled-Release Technology: Utilising microencapsulation technology for gradual salicylic acid release delivers prolonged sebum control while reducing immediate irritation.
• Minimalist Formulations (Clean Beauty): Buyers seek solvent-free salicylic acid powders to align with clean beauty claims.
• Body Care Surge: Demand for body treatments targeting back acne and keratosis pilaris grows at 18% annually.
• Scalp Health (Skinification of Hair): The incorporation of salicylic acid in scalp serums is emerging as a new technical premium feature.
• Sustainability and Clean Label Trends: Against a backdrop of escalating global sustainability and clean label requirements, buyers are accelerating their selection of raw material suppliers whose production processes meet energy-saving, emission-reduction, and environmental compliance standards. This ensures product regulatory compliance, brand credibility, and long-term supply stability.
