salicylic acid hyaluronic acid Hyaluronic Acid Skincare Solutions for Brands | OEM/ODM Expertise

The combination of Salicylic Acid and Hyaluronic Acid represents a powerful synergy of exfoliation and hydration, addressing the core concerns of oily and acne-prone skin without causing excessive dryness. INTE Cosmetics has mastered the formulation of this potent duo. Salicylic Acid, a beta-hydroxy acid (BHA), is oil-soluble, allowing it to penetrate into pores to dissolve excess sebum and dead skin cells, effectively exfoliating from within and reducing clogging. Hyaluronic Acid, a supreme humectant, counterbalances the potential drying effect of salicylic acid by drawing moisture to the skin, ensuring the barrier remains hydrated and resilient. Our challenge in formulating is to maintain the stability and efficacy of both actives within the correct pH window. Salicylic Acid requires a formulation pH of 3-4 to be effective, while HA is stable across a wider range. Our R&D team has developed stable emulsion and gel systems that meet this requirement. For example, we created an ODM clarifying serum for a professional skincare brand that used 2% Salicylic Acid and a multi-weight Hyaluronic Acid complex. This product effectively reduced blackheads and breakouts while improving overall skin hydration, as confirmed by consumer trials. This combination is ideal not only for serums but also for cleansers, toners, and targeted treatment masks. Brands seeking to create effective, multi-tasking solutions for blemish-prone skin should consider this powerful pairing.
