Glypure® 70
The 70% glycolic acid formulators build on for reliable performance in rinse-off, leave-on and aqueous formulas.
CAS 79-14-1 | INCI: Glycolic Acid | 70% aqueous solution
Overview
Glypure® 70 is our most versatile cosmetic-grade glycolic acid: at 76 g/mol it is the smallest AHA, so it penetrates skin faster than larger AHAs like lactic acid. Its liquid form makes dosing precise and it mixes quickly into toners, cleansers, peels and serums.

- Readily biodegradable: 89.6% in 7 days (OECD 301D)
- No reportable levels of Prop 65 chemicals, including Dichloroacetic Acid and Formaldehyde
