Glycolic acid, or hydroxyacetic acid, is a white crystalline solid that is easily solubilized in water to form a clear, odorless solution. Structurally, it is similar to acetic acid but with a hydroxylated methyl group, making it the smallest alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA). The chemicals in Cosmetic Grade comply with the requirements of the Fair Packaging & Labeling (FP&L) Act and the Federal Food & Cosmetics (FD&C) Act. Cosmetic Grade products are highly recommended for cosmetic production and any non-medical industrial applications.
