Glycolic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid that is used in a wide variety of applications, especially in skin care and cosmetic formulations.
1. Glycolic acid CAS 79-14-1 is known for its exfoliating properties. It helps remove dead skin cells from the surface of the skin, revealing smoother, more radiant skin.
2. Glycolic acid is often used in anti-aging products to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. By promoting cell turnover, glycolic acid can help improve skin texture and elasticity.
3. Glycolic acid CAS 79-14-1 helps unclog pores and reduce the occurrence of acne. Its exfoliating properties prevent the accumulation of dead skin cells, which prevents the formation of acne.
4. By promoting the shedding of pigmented skin cells, Glycolic acid can effectively treat pigmentation, including dark spots and uneven skin tone.
5. Glycolic acid CAS 79-14-1 can enhance the skin’s ability to retain moisture and is beneficial for dry or dehydrated skin.
6. Glycolic acid is often used in professional chemical peels to achieve a deeper exfoliation and improve the appearance of the skin.
7. In certain formulas, glycolic acid CAS 79-14-1 is used in hair care products to help remove buildup and improve the overall health and appearance of your hair.
Packed in 25 kg per drum or based on customers' requirements.
To store glycolic acid safely and effectively.
1. Store glycolic acid CAS 79-14-1 in its original container, which is usually made of corrosion-resistant material. Make sure the container is tightly sealed to prevent contamination and evaporation.
2. Store glycolic acid in a cool, dry place, ideally at room temperature (15°C to 25°C or 59°F to 77°F). Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures, as high temperatures can cause glycolic acid to degrade.
3. Glycolic acid CAS 79-14-1 should be kept away from direct sunlight and strong light, as light can affect its stability. If possible, store it in a cool or opaque container.
4. Store glycolic acid in a dry environment. Avoid storage in areas with high humidity, as moisture will affect the quality of glycolic acid.
5. Keep glycolic acid CAS 79-14-1 away from strong oxidants and other chemicals that may react with it.
6. When handling glycolic acid, especially in concentrated forms, use appropriate PPE, including gloves and goggles, to minimize contact with skin and eyes.
7. Dispose of glycolic acid CAS 79-14-1 and any contaminated material in accordance with local regulations. Do not flush it down the toilet or sink unless otherwise instructed.
