Everyone in today’s era is passionate about their skin. How it looks and how it feels! Well, it’s not wrong either because we know, our skin is our best accessory and we should take good care of it. But, do you wait for your skincare products to magically heal after spending an hour attacking every pore?

Well if yes, we’ll ask you to HOLD ON!

Most of us are well aware of the magical ingredient ‘Salicylic Acid’. However, the search for natural salicylic acid comes in the frame with consumer’s demands for gentle skin care but effective solutions in exfoliation product range. Highlighted by a growing interest in natural, clean beauty products, consumers are increasingly informed on each ingredient’s potential to enhance their skin health. In such a context, salicylic acid has become one of the best-known ingredients for exfoliation, due to this substance’s potential to reach the innermost layers of the skin for performance and effectiveness. It has been used topically to treat various skin concerns for more than 2,000 years. It is an ingredient that is commonly found in skin care and hair care products. —We know, when our skin is finally clearing and we get a little confident, the acne comes back and the only solution we comprehend for is Salicylic Acid. It is best known for reducing acne by exfoliating the skin and keeping pores clear.

But what if we tell you that it has more and advance offerings?

It is a vegetable based Salicylic Acid sourced in a sustainable way. We know how the importance and demand of naturally/sustainably derived ingredients is rising with coming time and is as essential as put. Evicare® wintergreen is not only sustainably derived but is also 100% natural and COSMOS approved raw material.

Whilst it’s rare when a single ingredient offers diverse functional benefits, Evicare® wintergreen is a multifunctional additive. It is used for different and vital effects on the skin and hair. It is mainly used as anti-dandruff agent and anti-acne agent. It is also used as a preservative, antibacterial and keratinolytic agent. Too good to be true, right?


We all clearly understand that Salicylic Acid has no shortage of remarkable benefits to improve skin health and appearance.


But do you know?

Salicylic acid is broadly used in the personal care industry but usually from synthetic sources. Being produced from petrochemical feedstock salicylic acid is not sustainable and cannot be used for production of natural cosmetics. Evicare® wintergreen is naturally derived salicylic acid sourced from berries of the wintergreen bush (Gaultheria procumbens).
