Encapsulated Salicylic Acid

Encapsulated salicylic acid is a delivery system that houses salicylic acid within microscopic capsules. This technology allows for controlled, gradual release of the active ingredient over time, reducing irritation while maintaining effectiveness.

Traditional salicylic acid can cause dryness and irritation, especially in higher concentrations. The encapsulation process creates a buffer that delivers the BHA slowly, making it suitable for sensitive skin types that typically cannot tolerate direct acid application.

This form of salicylic acid provides all the pore-clearing and exfoliating benefits of the original ingredient with significantly improved tolerability.
