Product Description
Salicylic acid is a beta hydroxy acid (BHA) that occurs naturally in plants, particularly in willow bark and wintergreen leaves. It is also synthetically produced for various commercial applications. Chemically, it is known as ortho-hydroxybenzoic acid, and it possesses both carboxylic acid and phenolic functionalities, which confer its acid and phenol properties, respectively. Salicylic acid is widely recognized for its role in medical and cosmetic products due to its ability to help the skin shed dead cells from the top layer and decrease redness and swelling. This decreases the number of pimples that form and speeds healing. In addition to its skincare benefits, salicylic acid is used in the production of aspirin which is a common pain reliever and anti-inflammatory agent. This derivative is one of the most widely used medications globally for reducing pain, fever, and inflammation.

Other than this, holiday season and reduced exports from China contributed to the continued price increase in December, as supply constraints and inflationary pressures also played a role.

North America Salicylic Acid Price
In the final quarter of 2023, the market in the U.S. experienced substantial changes.

The strong U.S. dollar made imports more cost-effective, further contributing to the decline. Falling prices in key exporting nations, such as China, also supported this downward trend. However, November witnessed a shift due to an increase in prices driven by rising consumer spending and growing demand from the personal care sector. The dollar weakening against other currencies made imports more expensive, adding upward pressure on prices.
