Mrs. D.,
Exactly... that's why I posted them. The term inactive is often misunderstood to mean insignificant.
Thanks for offering the clarification of the term inactive ingredients.
Be well,
Bryanna

The category "inactive" means there is no claim that these ingredients are therapeutic in any way. There are some OTC products that have some inactive listings containing substances that do have some actions in the body.
It is confusing, unfortunately.
Salicylic acid is found in acne products, and used by dermatologists to remove dead or infected skin topically.
