Glycolic Acid Powder (99%) is a high-strength alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) widely used in cosmetic formulations to support exfoliation, texture refinement, and a brighter-looking complexion. As the smallest AHA molecule, glycolic acid penetrates effectively, helping remove surface buildup and promote smoother, more radiant-looking skin.
This ultra-fine, high-purity powder dissolves easily in water and is ideal for formulators creating exfoliating toners, brightening serums, resurfacing gels, peels, and deep-cleansing products.
Because of its strength, it must be properly diluted and pH-adjusted before use.
This ingredient contains no fillers, no fragrances, no steroids, and no hydroquinone, making it suitable for professional cosmetic applications.
Pairs perfectly with niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, botanical extracts, and cosmetic boosters.
