Using Encapsulated Salicylic Acid in Leave-On Toner

Regarding the use of Encapsulated Salicylic Acid in a "leave-on" toner product, it depends on the specific type of encapsulated Salicylic Acid.

• The product Encapsulated Salicylic Acid (Liquid, Timed-Release, Wash-Off) is specifically designed for wash-off products only, such as cleansers. It is not suitable for leave-on applications like toners.

• However, there are other forms of encapsulated or water-soluble Salicylic Acid that are suitable for leave-on toners. Examples include:

  • Complex Salicylic Acid (Powder, Water-Soluble): This powder type is water-soluble and suitable for use in formulas that are applied and left on the skin.
  • ActiveRelease™ Salicylic Acid (Powder, Water-Soluble): This type is also a water-soluble powder designed for direct dissolution in water and is suitable for leave-on acne treatment products, offering a timed-release effect.

Therefore, while the "Wash-Off" type is not appropriate, you can use other encapsulated or water-soluble Salicylic Acid options that are formulated for leave-on applications in your toner.
