Salicylic Acid

Description

Harness the pore-clearing power of Salicylic Acid, the beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) expertly blended into your Build-Your-Own ORY^® skincare, haircare, or soap-free cleansing bar. Originally isolated from willow bark and today synthesized to USP purity, Salicylic Acid (C₇H₆O₃) is oil-soluble, so it travels into the pore to dissolve the oil and dead cells behind blackheads and breakouts, and it is one of the few actives recognized by the FDA for both skin and scalp. In your custom cleanser, toner, serum, or spot treatment, it unclogs pores, smooths rough, bumpy texture, calms breakouts, and balances oily skin. In your custom shampoo or scalp serum, it lifts flakes and buildup, reduces oiliness, and clears the scalp so other treatments can work. Ideal for oily, acne-prone, combination, and normal skin, it excels at clearing congested skin and flaky, oily scalps, and it pairs beautifully with Niacinamide and Hyaluronic Acid to prevent dryness. Customize your cruelty-free formulation for a clear, balanced experience from face to scalp. Caution: Patch test recommended. Avoid if allergic to aspirin or salicylates; not for children under 2. May cause dryness; use sunscreen daily. If pregnant, consult your physician before use on large areas.
