Report Overview
About Glycolic Acid
Glycolic acid is an alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA), which is colorless, odorless, and highly soluble in alcohol. It is also derived from fruit and milk sugars. It is synthesized from ethylene glycol-oxidizing microorganisms. Glycolic acid contains a keratolytic, germinative layer and produces a fibroblast stimulating action. Its chemical formula is C2H4O3.
Glycolic acid can be formed in various ways. The common approach used is the catalyzed reaction of formaldehyde with synthesis gas to produce glycolic acid, and this method is a low-cost process. It is also formed by the reaction of chloroacetic acid with sodium hydroxide, followed by re-acidification. It is also extracted from natural sources, such as sugarcane, sugar beets, pineapple, cantaloupe, and unripe grapes.
