Chemicals used in skincare and cosmetic formulations
Glycolic acid, a colorless, deliquescent carboxylic acid, is highly soluble in water, methanol, ethanol, ketones, acetic acid, and ether, but nearly insoluble in hydrocarbon solvents. It serves as a crucial intermediate in organic synthesis and finds widespread applications in various industries, including cleaning, electroplating, textiles, leather, and sterilization. The biodegradable nature of glycolic acid polymers has recently garnered attention, offering an eco-friendly alternative to traditional plastics, thus expanding its use in medicine and packaging. Additionally, glycolic acid is utilized in producing a range of products from ethylene glycol and polyglycolic acid to leather and fiber dyes, metal chelates, and detergents. Its strong skin penetration makes it popular in cosmetic formulations for skin care, particularly in treating acne and removing dead skin cells. Glycolic acid exhibits pH-dependent antibacterial activity, particularly effective at low pH levels, making it a potent ingredient in anti-acne formulations. Industrially, glycolic acid is typically available as a 70% aqueous solution, requiring careful storage to avoid contact with alkalis, oxidizing agents, and reducing agents. Advances in electrocatalysis and nanostructuring have also enhanced its production efficiency and selectivity, particularly in converting glycerol to glycolic acid.
