Sodium Salicylate is the sodium salt of salicylic acid, a well-known skincare ingredient. According to CosIng, the official EU cosmetic ingredient database, Sodium Salicylate functions primarily as a preservative, helping protect cosmetic products from spoilage. It is also listed as a denaturant, meaning it helps deter accidental ingestion of the product. Some manufacturers report that it may offer mild exfoliating and antimicrobial properties, although pure salicylic acid is typically more effective for stronger exfoliation.
