Glycolic Acid

Glycolic Acid, also known as hydroxyacetic acid, is one of the important and smallest acids belonging to the AHAs (Alpha Hydroxy Acids) group. It is either found naturally in some of the sugar crops, but is also prepared synthetically in the chemical lab by making chloroacetic acid react with sodium hydroxide and then making it go through a re-acidification process. Natural Glycolic Acid is used in the formulation of many skincare and cosmetic products like toner, face cream, serum, body wash, deodorant, night cream, soap, scrub, etc. Product Name: Glycolic Acid Raw Material Source: Monochloroacetic Acid Manufacturing Process: olten Monochloroacetic Acid is hydrolyzed at 90 to 130-degree Celsius by using sodium hydroxide (50%).
