Glycolic Acid 70%

Plavo’s Glycolic Acid 70% Solution is a high-purity, aqueous technical cosmetic active derived from natural sugarcane precursors. Featuring the smallest molecular size among all Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs), Glycolic Acid possesses unmatched epidermal penetration capabilities, making it the premier choice for professional skincare labs, aesthetic clinics, and cosmetic formulators formulating advanced chemical peels, exfoliating toners, and rejuvenating body washes. Key Bioactive Benefits: - Micro-Exfoliation & Desquamation: Weakens the desmosomal lipid bonds binding dead corneocytes together, accelerating natural exfoliation to reveal fresh, luminous skin. - Texture Smoothing & Pore Clearing: Smooths rough, bumpy skin texture (keratosis pilaris), clears stubborn cellular debris from pores, and visibly reduces blackheads. - Hyperpigmentation Fade: Accelerates the shedding of melanin-dense surface cells, significantly diminishing dark spots, melasma patches, and acne scarring. - Collagen & Glycosaminoglycan (GAG) Synthesis: Reaches the deeper basal layers to encourage cellular regeneration, plumping fine lines and improving overall dermal density. Formulation & Technical Guidelines: - Recommended Usage Level: - Daily Exfoliating Toners & Cleansers: 1% – 5% active concentration (formulated with appropriate buffering). - Weekly At-Home Exfoliating Treatments: 5% – 10% active concentration. - Professional Clinic Peels: 20% – 50% (requires professional neutralization). - Solubility: Fully miscible with water, glycerin, and glycols. - Formulation Note: High-purity acid solution; final formulation pH must be carefully measured and adjusted (typically buffered to pH 3.5 – 4.0 for leave-on consumer cosmetic safety). Specifications: - INCI Name: Glycolic Acid, Aqua - Appearance: Clear, colorless to pale straw liquid - Concentration / Assay: 70.0% ± 1.0% - Grade: High-Purity Cosmetic Grade.
