Inspired by the best-selling BeBodywise 1% Salicylic Acid Body Wash, this clinical-grade exfoliating shower gel is a high-margin powerhouse designed to treat body acne and "strawberry legs." We start with VedaOils' premium Transparent Body Wash Base to ensure a perfect, stable lather right out of the bottle. By incorporating exactly 1% Salicylic Acid powder, you create a potent BHA matrix that deeply cleanses pores and smooths rough texture. To prevent over-drying, we buffer the active acid with repairing D-Panthenol Gel and hydrating Vegetable Glycerin, finishing with a dash of Tea Tree Essential Oil for its natural antibacterial properties. This easily scalable, professional formulation yields a highly effective, market-ready acne treatment your customers will swear by!

Notes

Safety Warning: Beta Hydroxy Acids (BHAs) like Salicylic Acid can increase sun sensitivity! Instruct your customers to apply sunscreen if exposing their body to direct sunlight after use.

Pro Tip: Salicylic acid powder must be properly dissolved in a solvent like warm glycerin or a small splash of warm distilled water before adding it to your surfactant base. If added directly as a powder it will remain gritty and not perform effectively.
