WS SA50™
- INCI Name
- Salicylic AcidSodium Polyacrylate
WS SA50™ is a water-soluble dry powder form of salicylic acid that offers a higher solubility level, leading to a significant increase in aqueous solubility without requiring high energy investment, making it highly efficient. It is a pertinent solution for many industries, including skincare, sun care, hair care (shampoos and conditioners), aerosol products (such as sun spray and deodorants), cleansers, and more.

- Tagra's Solution
To improve WS SA50™'s eectiveness in cosmetic formulations, Tagra has developed a unique, innovative solution: WS SA50™. WS SA50™ is a water soluble, dry powder form of SA (50% w/w) , oering a higher solubility level of 5g/100ml compared to that of 0.2g/100ml for free SA. Tagra's unique technology leads to a significant increase in aqueous solubility without high-energy investment, showing WS SA50™ to be highly efficient.
- Applications
- Deodorants
- Sun Care Applications
- Sunscreen Spray
- Hair Care
- Shampoos & Rinses
- How Do We Know It Works?
In measuring WS SA50™'s ecacy in a disk diusion assay, the results show that a 4% WS SA50™ water solution is more ecient than traditional hydroalcoholic formula of 2% free SA and Ampicillin 4µg/ml solution for inhibiting P.acnes growth.
- How To Formulate with It?
WS SA50™ is a pertinent solution for many industries, including: skincare, sun care, haircare (shampoos, conditioners), aerosol products (sun spray, deodorants etc.), cleansers, and more. Formulating with WS SA50™ results with a pH of 3-5 and does not require using any organic solvents for solubilizing SA. It prevents any risk of crystallization in the formula, and it is added to the formulation at room temperature using a simple paddle mixer or homogenizer, as needed.
