Salicylic Acid Powder Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- 2-Hydroxybenzoic Acid
- Ortho-Hydroxybenzoic Acid
- SA
Salicylic acid powder is supplied as a bulk raw material for formulators, pharmaceutical manufacturers and industrial processors in Malaysia, not as a finished skincare product. Also known as 2-hydroxybenzoic acid or ortho-hydroxybenzoic acid (CAS 69-72-7), it is a white crystalline powder or needle-like crystal used across cosmetic, pharmaceutical and technical programmes.
Commercial grades include technical, cosmetic and pharmaceutical material, with powder, crystal and flake forms selected to match plant handling. Sublimed and non-sublimed material are genuine market distinctions. Buyers should state the grade, particle form and any monograph or residual limits required.
Personal-care formulators use salicylic acid as a bulk beta hydroxy acid raw material and preservative booster. Pharmaceutical plants may specify it for synthesis and topical preparations, while technical buyers use it in dye intermediates, rubber processing, metal treatment and phenolic chemistry.
Send the required grade, form, specification, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation. Supply is subject to applicable requirements.

Salicylic Acid grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Technical grade salicylic acid powder | fine white crystalline powder | purity confirmed against the required specification | Dye and pigment intermediates, rubber and polymer processing, metal treatment, phenolic chemistry and general industrial formulation where a free-flowing powder is preferred. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Cosmetic grade salicylic acid powder | high-purity powder for B2B formulation | purity and residual limits confirmed against the required specification | Personal-care and cosmetic raw-material programmes that specify salicylic acid as a bulk beta hydroxy acid ingredient rather than a finished serum or cleanser. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Pharmaceutical grade salicylic acid | powder or crystal meeting the named monograph when required | purity and residual limits confirmed against the required specification | Pharmaceutical manufacture including synthesis routes and topical preparations where a pharmacopoeial grade is named on the enquiry. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Salicylic acid crystal or flake | crystal, needle or flake | purity confirmed against the required specification | Plant charging and dissolution where crystal or flake form suits bulk handling better than fine powder, including sublimed material when that process route is specified. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |

Common questions about salicylic acid
Is salicylic acid powder a bulk raw material or a finished skincare product?
This page covers salicylic acid as a bulk chemical raw material for formulators and industrial buyers. Finished serums, cleansers and retail acne products are separate consumer goods and are not supplied from this catalogue entry.
Which salicylic acid grade should I request?
Technical grade suits many industrial and intermediate uses. Cosmetic grade is selected for personal-care raw-material programmes, while pharmaceutical grades are requested when a named monograph such as USP, BP or EP is required. State the grade, particle form and any residual limits with the enquiry.
Are powder, crystal and flake forms all available?
Salicylic acid is commonly offered as fine powder, needle-like crystal or flake. Sublimed and non-sublimed material are genuine market distinctions. Confirm the preferred form and handling needs so the quotation can match plant practice.
Is BHA the same as salicylic acid?
In cosmetic formulating, BHA usually refers to salicylic acid as the beta hydroxy acid raw material. It is not a separate chemical identity on this page. Always state the chemical name, CAS and grade when ordering so the correct material is quoted.
How is salicylic acid different from aspirin or sodium salicylate?
Aspirin is acetylsalicylic acid and sodium salicylate is the sodium salt. Both are related but distinct products with different identities, grades and applications. This page covers salicylic acid only; enquire separately for the salt or acetylated derivative if that is the requirement.
What details are needed for a salicylic acid price enquiry?
Provide the grade or form, application, target specification or monograph, quantity and delivery location. Mention preferred packing and any document needs so the quotation can address the full requirement.
