Glycolic acid is the smallest alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA). It is mainly added to various skin care products to improve the appearance and texture of the skin. It can also reduce wrinkles, acne scars, and hyperpigmentation. In the textile industry, it can be used as a dyeing and tanning preparation. It can also be used as a flavoring agent in food processing and as a skin care agent in the pharmaceutical industry. It can also be added to emulsion polymers, solvents and ink additives to improve fluidity and give shine. In addition, it is a useful intermediate for organic synthesis, including REDOX, esterification and long-chain polymerization. | |
