Salicylic acid (salicylate derivative) assay

The measurement of salicylic acid, a salicylate derivative , is essential for assessing the concentration of this compound, which has keratolytic, antimicrobial, and preservative properties. It is primarily sought after in cosmetic formulations (lotions, creams, shampoos), plant extracts (such as willow bark), and certain functional food products.

The analysis is generally performed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), sometimes coupled with UV or MS detection depending on the complexity of the matrix. This method guarantees high precision and allows verification of compliance with permitted regulatory limits. The analysis is also relevant for ensuring the stability and efficacy of formulations containing this active ingredient.

At YesWeLab , we collaborate with a rigorously selected network of laboratories, most of which are certified and/or accredited (ISO 17025, COFRAC, etc.). These laboratories are chosen based on your specific needs, the matrices to be analyzed, and the analytical techniques or methods required.
