General Description:

Sodium Salicylate is the sodium salt of salicylic acid, with the chemical formula C7H5NaO3. It is a white crystalline powder that is soluble in water. Sodium Salicylate shares some properties with salicylic acid, which is well-known for its anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties.

Uses in the Cosmetic Industry:

Sodium Salicylate serves several purposes in cosmetics:

  • Preservative: It has antimicrobial properties and is used as a preservative in cosmetic formulations to prevent microbial growth and extend shelf life.
  • Anti-inflammatory Agent: Sodium Salicylate is used in skincare products for its anti-inflammatory properties, which can help soothe irritation and reduce redness.
  • Keratolytic Agent: Similar to salicylic acid, Sodium Salicylate has keratolytic properties that help to exfoliate and remove dead skin cells, making it useful in acne treatments and exfoliating scrubs.
  • pH Adjuster: It can act as a pH adjuster in cosmetic formulations, helping to maintain the acidity or alkalinity of products within the desired range.

Hazard Considerations:


While Sodium Salicylate is generally regarded as safe for use in cosmetics, there are some considerations:

  • Skin Sensitivity: Like salicylic acid, Sodium Salicylate can cause skin irritation, especially in individuals with sensitive skin or at higher concentrations. It is important to use products containing Sodium Salicylate as directed and to perform a patch test if you have sensitive skin.
  • Eye Irritation: Direct contact with Sodium Salicylate powder or solutions can irritate the eyes. Safety precautions should be taken during handling to avoid eye exposure.

    Salicylate Sensitivity: Individuals who are sensitive to salicylates should avoid products containing Sodium Salicylate to prevent allergic reactions.
  • Environmental Impact: Sodium Salicylate is biodegradable but can be harmful to aquatic life if released in large quantities into water bodies. Proper disposal practices should be followed.
  • Regulatory Compliance: Cosmetic-grade Sodium Salicylate must comply with regulatory standards set by authorities such as the FDA in the United States and the European Commission. Maximum allowable concentrations and usage conditions are specified to ensure consumer safety.

CAS Number: 54-21-7

INCI: Sodium Salicylate

Composition: Sodium salicylate consists of a sodium cation (Na⁺) and the salicylate anion (C₇H₅O₃⁻), derived from salicylic acid. Its chemical formula is C₇H₅O₃Na.

Purity Grade: No purity grade applicable

Appearance: Sodium salicylate typically occurs as a white, odorless crystalline powder.                                        

Solubility: Sodium salicylate is highly soluble in water and soluble in alcohol. It forms clear, colorless solutions in water

Preservation: Sodium salicylate itself possesses some preservative properties due to its antimicrobial activity. However, it is often used in formulations with other preservatives to ensure microbial stability over time.

Storage: Store in a closed container at a dry place at room temperature                                                                                                 

Raw Material Source : The raw materials for sodium salicylate production include salicylic acid and sodium hydroxide. Salicylic acid can be obtained from natural sources such as willow bark or synthesized from phenol. Sodium hydroxide is commonly produced through the electrolysis of sodium chloride (salt).

Manufacture: Sodium salicylate is typically produced through the neutralization reaction between salicylic acid and sodium hydroxide. Salicylic acid is dissolved in water, and sodium hydroxide solution is added gradually until complete neutralization occurs. The resulting sodium salicylate solution is then purified, crystallized, and dried to obtain the final product.

Animal Testing: Not animal tested

GMO: GMO-free (does not contain plant-derived components)

Vegan: Does not contain animal-derived components

Proposition: SODIUM SALICYLATE complies with relevant regulations and guidelines

Warning: Avoid contact with eyes. In case of contact, rinse thoroughly with water. Use appropriate protective equipment when
handling. Keep out of reach of children.

Formulator’s Queries, We Answered

CAS number: 54-21-7
INCI name: Sodium Salicylate

Sodium Salicylate is the sodium salt of salicylic acid (also called 2-Hydroxybenzoic acid sodium salt). Its molecular formula is C₇H₅NaO₃ and its molecular weight is about 160.1 g/mol

It is used as a preservative / denaturant in cosmetic and personal-care formulations.
It may also confer soothing / anti-inflammatory / antimicrobial effects, which can be useful in skin-care, body care, make-up, hair care, and similar applications.
In some formulations, it can help inhibit the growth of bacteria or fungi — thereby extending shelf-life and contributing to product safety

According to ingredient-safety registries, when used in cosmetic formulations, the permitted maximum concentration in ready-to-use products is 0.5%.
Additional caution: it should not be used in products intended for children below 3 years of age — except for shampoos

According to a safety review of salicylic acid and salicylates used in cosmetics, when formulated at appropriate concentrations (and when the final formulation is non-irritating / non-sensitizing), Sodium Salicylate is considered safe under current cosmetic use practices.
However — as per material-safety data sheets (MSDS) — undiluted Sodium Salicylate (pure powder) can be irritating to skin and eyes and harmful if swallowed.
