Glycolic acid belongs to the types of AHA (alpha hydroxy acid) derived from sugarcane. It is an active ingredient that can chemically exfoliate the skin to eliminate oil and dead skin cells. This acid is also used for treating various skin conditions such as hyperpigmentation, acne, and more.
This colorless and odorless acid can improve skin appearance and texture. Thus, making them an ideal ingredient for different cosmetics and skin care product formulations.
Baisifu is a trusted cosmetic-grade glycolic acid supplier offering high purity and safety.

Smoothens fine lines. Due to its exfoliating factor, this acid helps in improving skin texture. It also maintains the skin natural hyaluronic acid to retain moisture. Thus, reducing the appearance of fine lines in the skin.
Treats hyperpigmentation. Glycolic acid is proven to reduce hyperpigmentation caused by sun damage. It brightens the skin and even out the skin tone by exfoliating the skin’s top layer.
Clears pore. This acid can clear out the dirt and oil that are clogged in the pores. Thus, preventing acne breakouts.
Glycolic acid is extensively used in the manufacturing of various products, such as:
Glycolic acid is a key ingredient in chemical peels. It is used for gentle exfoliation and in providing skin peeling. The acid provides a shining effect and makes a skincare product blend well. It also helps in the effective performance of clinical products.
The use of glycolic acid in creams helps with hydration and the gentle turnover of cells. It also softens a rough texture and improves the absorption of other active ingredients.
Glycolic acid is used in lightweight lotions for daily renewal. It improves softness, skin elasticity, and reduces uneven skin tone. Glycolic acid gives consistent results in different lotion formulas.
Glycolic acid is used in masks for advanced resurfacing. This gives immediate radiance and a more refined look. It complements clays, hydrators, and botanicals in the mask formulation for proper skin renewal.
Glycolic acid is used in cleansing products for gentle exfoliation daily. It removes contaminants and brightens tired skin. It enables effective cleansing while maintaining the skin’s natural protective layer.

Product categories and their applications define the acceptable formulation standards. Typically, the final formulation concentration lies within a 1-20% range. For certain peels, 14.5% is required for 10% AHA and 7.2% for 5% AHA.
Upon request, our technical staff willassists you in balancing the strength with safety. Every formulation is checked for solubility, pH balancing, and compatibility. This guarantees the best performance as well as product stability throughout your production.
Baisifu offers guidance on usage tailored to your specific formulations. This minimizes formulation mistakes and lifts efficiency. We tailor our instructions to your production and product marketing requirements.
Store glycolic acid powder in closed, dry containers at temperatures between 15-25°C in order to avoid moisture uptake. Liquid glycolic should be stored in airtight HDPE or glass container packaging. These conditions help maintain activity and prevent clumping.
Since glycolic acid reacts with certain metals, use corrosion-resistant transfer equipment. Limiting air contact protects it from discoloration and unwanted changes. Use of gloves and protective eyewear also ensures safety during routine operations.
