Product Description
Capryloyl Salicylic Acid Powder LHA Exfoliant for Pore Refinement & Acne Care CAS 78418-01-6
Capryloyl Salicylic Acid, commonly known as β-LHA (β-lipohydroxyacid, long-chain aliphatic hydrocarbon-β-hydroxycarboxylic acid), is an active compound developed in recent years and used in cosmetics. β-LHA is a salicylic acid derivative formed by introducing a lipophilic hydrocarbon group on the benzene ring of salicylic acid, and its lipophilicity is enhanced compared with salicylic acid. It not only maintains the effect of salicylic acid to peel off aging keratin, but also enhances the affinity with skin cells and penetrates into the stratum corneum more easily. It can be used as an external ingredient in cosmetics to delay aging and treat blackheads.

3.Acne
It has a very good therapeutic effect on acne and pimples, and can promote the repair of the skin while removing acne.
4. Deep cleans the skin
