Salicylates in Personal Care Products


The reason why people with salicylate allergies prefer to use salicylate free products,is that many skin care and personal care products contain salicylates which are not labeled as such on the ingredients list.
The salicylates come both from chemicals and also from natural herbs or fruits that may be added to the products.
Here is a partial list of ingredients that contain salicylates in over the counter medications and personal care products. If you think you might have salicylate sensitivity, I recommend you avoid products that contain these ingredients.
  • Acetylsalicylic acid
