General Description


High-Purity Glycolic Acid, a well-known α-hydroxy acid (AHA), exhibits powerful exfoliating, anti-aging, and skin-renewing properties. Due to its small molecular size, it penetrates the skin effectively, making it widely used in dermatology, cosmetics, medical, and pharmaceutical applications. This versatile compound plays a key role in various formulations, including chemical peels, anti-aging serums, acne treatments, and skin brightening solutions.



In addition to its dermatological benefits, glycolic acid also serves as a critical component in pharmaceutical secondary standards. These high-purity standards support quality control in pharmaceutical laboratories and manufacturing, providing a cost-effective and reliable alternative to in-house working standards.







Application of High-Purity Glycolic Acid


Glycolic acid finds extensive use in pharmaceutical, analytical, and cosmetic applications. Some of its major applications include:




  • Pharmaceutical Reference Standard: Used in the precise determination of glycolic acid levels in pharmaceutical formulations through advanced techniques such as gas chromatography (GC).

  • Quality Control & Method Development: These Certified Reference Materials (CRMs) are highly suitable for pharma release testing and method development in qualitative and quantitative analyses.

  • Food & Beverage Industry: Applied in quality control testing for food products to ensure safety and regulatory compliance.

  • Calibration & Instrument Validation: Essential for laboratory instrument calibration, ensuring high accuracy and reproducibility in analytical results.


By ensuring consistent accuracy and traceability, these secondary standards play a crucial role in enhancing analytical reliability across multiple industries.







Analysis Note of High-Purity Glycolic Acid


These secondary standards offer multi-traceability to USP (United States Pharmacopeia), EP (European Pharmacopeia), and BP (British Pharmacopeia) primary standards wherever applicable. This ensures high analytical precision, consistency, and regulatory compliance in quality control processes.
