Where is Calcium salicylate used?

• Pharmaceutical manufacturing: intermediate in the synthesis of salicylate-based active ingredients
• Tablet and oral formulation development: buffering component
• Personal care: preservative and pH-buffering agent in topical preparations
• Dermatological formulations: evaluated for exfoliation and skin conditioning
• Compounding pharmacies and specialty chemical manufacturers use it as a starting material for further salt conversions.
