GLYBase™: High-Purity Sodium Glycolate
Precision pH control is essential in AHA formulation. GLYBase™ is high-purity sodium glycolate, the conjugate base of GlyAcid®, developed for finer and more predictable adjustment during the final stages of neutralization.
Used alone or as part of a hybrid neutralization strategy, it helps formulators approach the target pH with greater control. NaOH establishes the range. GLYBase™ refines the endpoint.
Why GLYBase™?
Provides finer pH adjustment resolution than sodium hydroxide in the AHA working range
Helps reduce overshoot and repeated corrective adjustment
Improves batch-to-batch reproducibility from lab to production scale
Chemically aligned with GlyAcid® — no competing chemistry introduced
Supports scale-up and commercial production consistency
Applications
AHA personal care formulations — serums, peels, and moisturizers
Pharmaceutical topical formulations
Acidic formulations requiring controlled pH adjustment, typically within pH 3.5–5.0
