PureTech Scientific Glypure® GL is a new, patented, “non-acid acid” for cosmetic applications that delivers all the benefits of an alpha-hydroxy acid with reduced irritation potential. This active ingredient hydrolyzes upon exposure to moisture in the skin, slowly generating glycolic acid in-situ.
PureTech Scientific’s Glyclean® D family of products are registered active ingredients based on glycolic acid for use in disinfectants. Combining exceptional cleaning attributes and broad-spectrum activity against both enveloped and non-enveloped viruses, bacteria, and fungi, Glyclean® D is built to do more for one-step clean and disinfect products.
