Due to the encapsulation, the final formulation pH does not have to be low to prevent re-crystallization (see compatibility section). This material is readily soluble at pH 7, 25°C.

- Formulation Guidelines
- Suggested final formulation pH 4 - 7
- Add to water phase prior to emulsification Ensure it is completely solubilized before continuing the formula
- When Sallic-210 is dissolved, the pH will drop to around 4. Once solubilized, adjust pH before adding pH sensitive ingredients
- Use of carbomer thickener not recommended
- When using a polymeric thickener requiring neutralization, first neutralize polymer, then add Sallic-210, then bring pH back up to thicken the polymer
- When using a polymeric thickener that does not require neutralization, solubilize the Sallic-210 prior to dispersing the polymer
- Keep in mind for cleansing systems that the Sallic-210 may contribute to overall salts in the system
- No sensitivity to homogenizer or high agitation mixing
- Not temperature sensitive
- May effect color of acid-sensitive colorants
- Not recommended for use in anhydrous products

Technical Details & Test Data
- Technical Information
Encapsulated salicylic acid, 50% active. The encapsulation is formed by an “oligomer complex”. Oligomer complex technology utilizes a highly hydrophilic polymer (dextrin) to encapsulate the active. Below is the schematic of the encapsulation:
- Compatibility/Stability
Stability Test: Sallic-210
- Water solutions with Sallic-210
- pH was adjusted to 3.5 and 7.0
- Testing conducted at 4°C, 25°C, 45°C and 50°C
- Color/pH was monitored monthly for 3 months
Storage & Handling
- Storage & Handling
Sallic-210 can be stored at room temperature in an appropriate container (glass or plastic) tightly sealed.
