- Background
GlyAcid® is a well known molecule for exfoliation in skin care.; For more than 40 years, glycolic acid has been predominately produced by either the carbonylation of formaldehyde or with glycolonitrile as a starting material. Both processes leave residual traces of formaldehyde in the finished commercial product.; By contrast, GlyAcid® is produced using a proprietary acid saponification and purification process that does not use formaldehyde, while delivering a high-purity glycolic acid for today's personal care formulations.
- Storage and Handling
GlyAcid® 70 HP is stable when stored under normal conditions. If stored at temperatures below 14°C (57°F), precipitation may occur. This precipitation does not affect product quality. To re-dissolve, heat product to 40°C (104°F) with agitation.
