Application of Capryloyl salicylic acid CAS 78418-01-6
Caprylyl salicylic acid is often used to treat blackheads, whiteheads and acne. However, its keratolytic ability is not the only reason it is often used to treat blemishes and hair loss. This ingredient also has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects, making it an ideal anti-acne ingredient. Because this ingredient requires a very low concentration to remove dead skin cells, remove deposits in pores, condition the skin, and calm inflamed skin, it is used in various cosmetics.
Caprylyl salicylic acid not only maintains the effect of salicylic acid in exfoliating aging keratin, but also enhances its affinity with skin cells, making it easier to penetrate into the stratum corneum. It can be used as an external ingredient in cosmetics to delay aging and treat blackheads.
