Salicylic acid is actually effective in a variety of vehicles, including
propylene glycol, ethanol, and isopropyl alcohol.
We use isopropyl alcohol here because of the ability to dissolve higher
concentrations of SA - the solubility of salicylic acid in propylene glycol is
not very high

Salicylic acid is a substance derived from the bark of a willow tree. It is an
organic phenol beta-hydroxy acid. Salicylic acid is also found in unripe
fruits, as it is part of their development process. This natural compound is
used to treat a variety of skin problems from acne and calluses, to seborrheic
dermatitis and psoriasis.

Salicylic acid is probably most well-known for its acne-fighting and
exfoliation. Why is it such an effective treatment for acne? Acne is caused by
a bacteria called propionibacterium acnes, and this bacteria thrives when the
pH of your skin goes up. (Quick chemistry lesson, the pH scale goes from very
acidic (0) to very basic (14) with 6/7 being neutral). However, certain studies
seem to show that the growth of P. bacterium is inhibited when the pH of your
skin becomes more basic. The pH of salicylic acid is, well, acidic, so it helps
kill and defend against the p.bacteria! As a plus, the skin becomes more prone
to damage and infection when it becomes more basic, so you can reduce your risk
by making your skin more acidic. In general, your skin, being acidic protects
it from fungi and bacteria.

Acne is formed when skin cells inside hair follicles shed too fast and clumps
together, plugging up the follicle and causing a pimple. Salicylic acid also
helps break down blackheads and whiteheads.
