Built on Science. Sustained by Trust. Driven by Purpose.

Salicylates and Chemicals was founded in 1978 with a clear purpose: to supply reliable, high-purity specialty ingredients to formulators who needed a dependable manufacturing partner. Starting with a focused portfolio of salicylates and preservatives, we grew steadily by earning the trust of manufacturers one formulation at a time.

Today, our product portfolio spans UV filters, emulsifiers, paraben-free preservatives, natural actives, and pharmaceutical-grade APIs — serving over 1,500 customers across more than 60 countries from our facilities in Mumbai and Hyderabad.

“As a women-owned enterprise, we are committed to ethical and responsible growth — providing sustainable technologies and paving the way for a better and greener future in the beauty, health, and wellness sector.”

With a team of over 400 dedicated professionals and a culture centred on quality, compliance, and customer-centricity, we continue to invest in the capabilities needed to serve an evolving global industry.
