AMI Natural Salicylic Acid-USP is made from wintergreen, an evergreen subshrub native to Canada. Analysis of the active molecules of its leaves reveals the presence of methyl salicylate and its extraction by William Procter in 1844 from essential oil. Subsequently, Auguste Cahours hydrolyzed it to salicylic acid.
Alban Muller innovation, vegetable salicylic acid is a revolution in the quest for natural alternatives.
Natural salicylic acid-USP AMI is obtained by an eco-responsible manufacturing process from the essential oil of wintergreen obtained after distillation of the leaves. This essential oil, concentrated in methyl salicylate, is then hydrolyzed to isolate salicylic acid, which is completely natural.
Wintergreen essential oil has undergone a 13C / 12C isotopic analysis to ensure its naturalness and the absence of any adulteration by synthetic materials.
Salicylic acid is a substance known for its high effective therapeutic properties in treating dermatological disorders.
