Viktairy Salicylic Acid Powder 8 oz — Cosmetic‑Grade BHA Exfoliant, >99.5% Pure

This ultra-pure salicylic acid (2-hydroxybenzoic acid >99.5%) comes as a fine powder packaged double-sealed to preserve potency. It’s oil-soluble, intended for formulators and home chemists who want a single, high-purity ingredient to add controlled exfoliating properties to face washes, body washes, serums, shampoos and other rinse-off or leave-on products. Follow safety guidance, dilution instructions and recommended pH to get expected performance while minimizing irritation risks.

How should I dissolve and incorporate this powder into my formulas?

Because salicylic acid dissolves better in solvents than water, it should first be dissolved in a compatible carrier before adding to your final product. Common solvents include ethyl alcohol, propylene glycol, glycerin, castor oil and sodium lactate; warming and fine grinding speeds dissolution.

• Grind crystals to a fine powder before mixing for faster solubility.
• Heat the solvent-salicylic mix gently to about 120–130°F (48–54°C) to help dissolve fully.
• Add sodium citrate if needed to reduce recrystallization in finished solutions.

What concentrations and pH levels work best for safe, effective use?

Use Viktairy salicylic acid at 0.2–2.0% in finished products, depending on product type and skin sensitivity. Salicylic acid displays optimal activity around pH 3.5–4.0, so adjust pH carefully after incorporation and test stability.

• Recommended finished concentration: 0.2%–2.0%.
• Target pH range: 3.5–4.0; lower with citric acid, raise gently with baking soda if needed.
• Always patch-test new formulations to check for irritation.

Which product types can you formulate with this salicylic acid powder?

This cosmetic-grade BHA is versatile for many personal care products when properly dissolved and buffered. It’s suitable for cleansers, toners, masks, serums, shampoos and creams, but avoid use on broken or severely inflamed skin.

• DIY cleansers, face washes and body washes (rinse-off).
• Toners, serums, peels and leave-on exfoliating products within safe concentrations.
• Shampoos and scalp treatments that benefit from oil-soluble BHA action.

Storage and handling are important: keep the powder in an airtight container away from heat and direct sunlight, store in a cool dry place, and use the included double-sealed jar to reduce contamination and moisture ingress. Viktairy salicylic acid is non-toxic, vegan, gluten-free and non-GMO, but it is potent—wear gloves and a mask during handling, avoid contact with eyes and sensitive areas, and keep out of reach of children. Perform a patch test and discontinue use with signs of adverse reaction.

Who is this product for? This 8 oz pack is aimed at cosmetic formulators, small-batch makers, estheticians and experienced DIYers who need a high-purity BHA raw material for controlled exfoliation in lotions, cleansers, toners, shampoos and masks. If you’re new to active ingredients, consult formulation resources, start at the lower concentration range, and follow safety protocols to create stable, effective products.
