Documented Uses

• CIR ingredient: Sodium Glycolate
• Electroplating [Category: Plate]
• Using Disinfectants or Biocides [Category: Clean]
• Textiles (Printing, Dyeing, or Finishing) [Category: Industry]
• Due to its excellent capability to penetrate skin, glycolic acid finds applications in skin care products, most often as a chemical peel. It may reduce wrinkles, acne scarring, hyperpigmentation and improve many other skin conditions, including actinic keratosis, hyperkeratosis, and seborrheic keratosis. Glycolic acid is also a useful intermediate for organic synthesis and finds employment in the textile industry as a dyeing and tanning agent, in food processing as a flavoring agent and as a preservative.
