Practical formulation guide
Usage level: Use the dosage on the data sheet and observe the regulatory concentration and pH limits of the country of sale.
How to use and incorporate: Dissolve in the water phase (salicylic acid requires a solvent such as butylene glycol, propylene glycol, alcohol or warm glycerin) and adjust the final pH with a base (triethanolamine, sodium hydroxide or arginine), measuring with a pH meter.
Formulation tips:
- Final pH determines the performance and tolerance of the product; always measure with a calibrated pH meter.
- In leave-on products with alpha-hydroxy acids, include a sunscreen use recommendation on the label.
- Before scaling up, make a pilot batch and run a stability test (cycles at 4 / 25 / 45 °C/39 / 77 / 113 °F for 4 weeks, checking odor, color, pH, viscosity and separation) in the final packaging.
Compatibility: May be incompatible with unneutralized carbomers, some preservatives and actives sensitive to acidic pH.
Storage: Original container tightly closed, in a cool, dry place.
Precautions: Corrosive or irritating in concentrated form: use gloves, safety glasses and ventilation. Always add the acid to the water, never the water onto the acid.
Technical information for formulators: This sheet describes industrial uses of the raw material in the development of cosmetic products. It is not an efficacy claim for any finished product. The person responsible for the formulation must validate the concentration, compatibility and claims of their product in accordance with applicable regulations.
