This invention relates to the field of cosmetic technology, specifically to a
salicylic acid supramolecular complex, its preparation method, and its applications. The components include
salicylic acid,
panthenol, and
cyclodextrin; the weight ratio of
salicylic acid to
panthenol is (20-79):(40-59). The salicylic acid supramolecular complex prepared by this invention improves upon the inherent defect of salicylic acid's poor water
solubility due to its lipid
solubility. Furthermore, the prepared salicylic acid supramolecular complex maintains good
solubility in various complex formulation systems containing commonly used cosmetic solvents such as
ethanol and polyols.
