  Salicylic acid in aqueous base

  Posted by Rkunke on September 4, 2021 at 10:45 am

  Hello! I am a newbie to the forum and also to skin care formulating. I am more a soapmaker but have gotten interested in the rest.

  I am try to make a ‘natural’ Anti-Dandruff gel for my son using Salicylic acid. The store bought products work until you use them and the problem is back.

  I wanted to combine the healing of Aloe Vera, Hyaluronic acid and Salicylic acid. Is this feasible?

  My proposed formula:
  Hibiscus infused distilled water - q.s to 100
  HA (1% solution preserved) - 20%
  Aloe Vera extract - 0.5%
  Lotus extract - 0.5%
  HEC (for gelling) - 2%
  Geogard ECT - 0.65%

  If I have to introduce Salicylic acid in this, how and where can I do it? Dissolve it in glycerine or sodium lactate?

  What do you all think?

  Lots of threads on here and videos online on salicylic acid, but you won’t be able to do it without using ethanol or a glycol/solvent, or you would have to purchase a product like Curcylic™ 40.
