Product Overview

Betaine Salicylate is a mild, skin-friendly exfoliating ingredient formed by the combination of salicylic acid and betaine. It is designed to deliver the exfoliating and pore-clearing benefits of salicylic acid while significantly reducing irritation and dryness.
Thanks to its buffered structure, Betaine Salicylate releases salicylic acid gradually, making it ideal for sensitive skin, acne-prone skin, and daily-use formulations. In addition to gentle exfoliation, it helps improve skin smoothness, regulate sebum production, and support overall skin comfort.
Betaine Salicylate is widely used in modern cosmetic formulations where effective yet gentle keratolytic performance is required.
