Glycolic Acid – Premium AHA for Skincare & Cosmetic Formulations
Glycolic Acid is a naturally derived Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA), widely recognized in the cosmetic and personal care industry for its exfoliating, brightening, and anti-aging properties. Extracted primarily from sugarcane, glycolic acid has the smallest molecular size among AHAs, allowing it to penetrate deeply into the skin for effective results. At SLHN Enterprise, we supply high-quality cosmetic-grade glycolic acid for skincare brands, cosmetic manufacturers, and bulk distributors worldwide. Processed under ISO, HACCP, and SGS-certified facilities, our glycolic acid ensures purity, stability, and formulation-ready quality.
