Salicylic Acid
chemical formula: 2-HOC6H4COOH
( powder )
Salicylic Acid is a colorless crystalline organic acid that is widely used in organic synthesis and functions as a plant hormone. It is derived from the metabolism of Salicin. Please note - this is not Aspirin. The chemical name for Aspirin is Acetylsalicylic Acid, which is a different chemical. Salicylic Acid on the other hand is probably best known for its use in skin care treatments. It is poorly soluble in water and often used to manufacture other Salicylate compounds.
This is NOT Pure Asprin.
