Cotton pads soaked in salicylic acid can be used to chemically exfoliate skin.. Salicylic acid as a medication is commonly used to remove the outermost layer of the skin.As such, it is used to treat warts, psoriasis, acne vulgaris, ringworm, dandruff, and ichthyosis.
Naproxen's medical uses are related to its mechanism of action as an anti-inflammatory compound. [11] Naproxen is used to treat a variety of inflammatory conditions and symptoms that are due to excessive inflammation, such as pain and fever (naproxen has fever-reducing, or antipyretic, properties in addition to its anti-inflammatory activity).

Sodium salicylate is a sodium salt of salicylic acid. It can be prepared from sodium phenolate and carbon dioxide under higher temperature and pressure. Historically, it has been synthesized by refluxing methyl salicylate ( wintergreen oil) with an excess of sodium hydroxide .
2-Ethylhexyl salicylate also known as octisalate or octyl salicylate, is an organic compound used as an ingredient in sunscreens and cosmetics to absorb UVB (ultraviolet) rays from the sun. [1] It is an ester formed by the condensation of salicylic acid with 2-ethylhexanol. It is a colorless oily liquid with a slight floral odor.
Ethyl salicylate is the ester formed by the condensation of salicylic acid and ethanol. It is a clear liquid that is sparingly soluble in water, but soluble in alcohol and ether. It has a pleasant odor resembling wintergreen and is used in perfumery and artificial flavors. [3]
Phenyl salicylate, or salol, is the organic compound with the formula C 6 H 5 O 2 C 6 H 4 OH. It is a white solid. It is a white solid. It is occasionally used in sunscreens and as an antiseptic.
The following chart shows the solubility of various ionic compounds in water at 1 atm pressure and room temperature (approx. 25 °C, 298.15 K). "Soluble" means the ionic compound doesn't precipitate, while "slightly soluble" and "insoluble" mean that a solid will precipitate; "slightly soluble" compounds like calcium sulfate may require heat to precipitate.
Wetting solution molecules break the intermolecular forces between each molecule in the organic phase and each water molecule in the aqueous phase by displacement. [5] Due to the lowered attractive forces, the surface tension is reduced. Upon adding more wetting solution, the elevated concentration of wetting solution molecules leads to a ...
