Glycolic Acid For Cosmetics

Glycolic Acid is a powerful alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) widely used in cosmetic formulations for its exceptional exfoliating properties. Derived from sugar cane, this gentle yet effective ingredient helps to remove dead skin cells, revealing smoother, brighter, and more youthful-looking skin. Ideal for various skincare products including serums, cleansers, toners, and peels, Glycolic Acid supports skin renewal and improves texture, making it a favorite for anti-aging and acne treatments. Formulated to be safe for cosmetic use, our Glycolic Acid complies with UK cosmetic regulations and is designed for external use only. It works by dissolving the bonds that hold dead skin cells together, promoting natural exfoliation without harsh abrasion.
