Salicylic acid (C₇H₆O₃) is a colorless, crystalline organic acid found naturally in plants like willow bark and wintergreen leaves. Renowned for its medicinal and cosmetic benefits, it exhibits keratolytic, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties. In medicine, it is widely used in topical treatments for skin conditions such as acne, psoriasis, warts, and dandruff, helping to exfoliate and cleanse the skin by promoting the shedding of dead cells and unclogging pores. In cosmetics, salicylic acid is a common ingredient in products designed to improve skin texture and clarity. Additionally, it is crucial in the synthesis of aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid). While highly beneficial, salicylic acid should be used with caution to avoid potential skin irritation or dryness, especially in higher concentrations.

For many learners high school is not enough to prepare them for what they are to face at first year university. They find themselves completely overwhelmed and intimidated by what is expected of them to be able to do in a laboratory.

Unfortunately many learners who want to pursue science subjects go through this dilemma, few as they are because fact is SA is not producing enough learners who will become engineers, doctors, science researchers, let alone science innovators.

To address this, we developed a chemistry kits with 52 experiments for use by learners at home. This gives them an opportunity to gain hand-on exposure and engagement, confidence and understanding they need to study sciences further.

The kit comes with a manual explaining how science is experienced in daily life and therefore brings awareness of the application and usefulness of science, helping the learner relate to what they learn at school.

Some schools do have kits where only the teacher demonstrates the experiments and this is great, but you don’t master driving by watching the driving instructor, you must get in the driver’s seat yourself.
