Salicylic acid is a monohydroxybenzoic acid obtained from natural sources such as willow bark and wintergreen leaves, and also produced by organic synthesis. It is primarily used as an active pharmaceutical ingredient in dermatological preparations for its keratolytic and bacteriostatic properties, and serves as a key intermediate in the manufacture of other salicylates such as aspirin.
