Hydroxyacetic acid, also known as glycolic acid, is a colorless, crystalline solid or liquid used in various industrial and cosmetic applications. It is a key ingredient in skin care products, such as chemical peels and exfoliants, due to its ability to penetrate the skin and promote cell turnover. Industrially, hydroxyacetic acid is used in cleaning agents, textile processing, and as a pH adjuster in formulations. Despite its benefits, it can cause skin irritation and sensitivity, particularly in high concentrations. Proper handling, storage, and usage instructions are essential to ensure safety and minimize the risk of adverse effects in both industrial and cosmetic applications.
