TEA salicylate

TEA salicylate (CAS 2174-16-5) is the triethanolamine salt of salicylic acid, commercially available under trade names including Neo Heliopan TS, Sunarome W, and Myoflex. It carries no E-code designation and is categorised under HS code 29225000 within pharmaceutical intermediates.

In topical analgesic formulations, TEA salicylate penetrates the skin and delivers salicylate ions that inhibit prostaglandin synthesis, providing localised anti-inflammatory relief. In suncare products, it functions as a UVB-absorbing agent, effective in the 290–320 nm range, and improves solubility of other UV filters in aqueous systems.

TEA salicylate is supplied as a pharmaceutical-grade material aligned with REACH registration requirements for the European market. It is available in standard drum and IBC packaging formats suited to industrial procurement volumes. Buyers should confirm grade specification against Ph.Eur. or USP monograph requirements depending on the intended application.
