Cosmetic-Grade Glycolic Acid for Personal Care
GlyAcid® is a cosmetic-grade glycolic acid manufactured to the low-impurity specifications personal care formulators require. Because it is produced without formaldehyde as a process input, GlyAcid® cosmetic-grade glycolic acid delivers a clean, controlled impurity profile suited to leave-on and rinse-off skin care, professional peels, and hair and scalp formulations.
As a manufacturer and global supplier of cosmetic-grade glycolic acid, CrossChem offers GlyAcid® 70 HP (70% aqueous solution) and GlyAcid® 99 HP (99% crystalline) — giving formulators cosmetic-grade glycolic acid in both liquid and dry forms, with the batch-to-batch consistency that finished-product quality depends on.
