CAS 69-72-7: Salicylic acid
Description:Salicylic acid, with the CAS number 69-72-7, is a colorless, crystalline organic acid that is widely recognized for its role in both medicine and agriculture. It is a beta hydroxy acid (BHA) with the molecular formula C7H6O3, characterized by a hydroxyl group (-OH) and a carboxylic acid group (-COOH) attached to a benzene ring. This structure contributes to its properties as a mild antiseptic and anti-inflammatory agent, making it a common ingredient in acne treatments and skincare products. Salicylic acid is also used in the formulation of various pharmaceuticals and is known for its ability to exfoliate the skin by promoting the shedding of dead skin cells. In agriculture, it serves as a plant growth regulator and is involved in the plant's defense mechanisms. Salicylic acid is soluble in alcohol and ether but has limited solubility in water, which influences its applications in different formulations. Its safety profile is generally favorable, although it can cause irritation in some individuals when used topically.
