FECY Glycolic Acid Powder (Skin Care)

Glycolic Acid is the most popular and widely used Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) in skincare due to its powerful exfoliating properties and small molecular size. Derived from sugarcane, glycolic acid penetrates the skin more deeply than other AHAs, making it extremely effective in resurfacing, brightening, and correcting uneven skin tone. It is a key ingredient in chemical peels, facial serums, toners, and deep-cleansing skincare products.

Our high-purity cosmetic glycolic acid is designed for formulators who want strong and consistent performance. It works by breaking down the bonds that hold dead skin cells together. This increases cell turnover, revealing fresher, smoother, and younger-looking skin. With regular use in cosmetic formulations, glycolic acid can help reduce fine lines, wrinkles, dark marks, acne scarring, and dullness.

One of the most powerful benefits of glycolic acid is its ability to penetrate deep into the pores, clearing blockages that cause blackheads, whiteheads, and textured skin. This makes it ideal for oily and acne-prone formulations. For brightening purposes, glycolic acid helps fade hyperpigmentation, melasma, sun damage, and dark spots, giving the skin a radiant and even-toned appearance.

Formulators love glycolic acid because of its versatility and effectiveness at low and high concentrations. It is water-soluble, easy to mix, and compatible with a wide range of ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, glycerin, allantoin, alpha arbutin, and botanical extracts. It is commonly used in exfoliating toners (5–7%), brightening serums (3–10%), facial cleansers (1–3%), and professional chemical peels (20–70%).

When used correctly in a formula, glycolic acid helps strengthen the skin barrier by encouraging collagen production and improving hydration levels. It enhances product absorption, making other active ingredients more effective. Whether you are creating at-home skincare products or professional-grade peels, glycolic acid brings visible improvements in texture, clarity, and radiance.

Glycolic acid is suitable for many skin types, but its strength means it should always be used in a well-balanced formula. For sensitive skin products, it can be combined with soothing ingredients such as aloe vera, panthenol, chamomile extract, or allantoin to reduce irritation while maintaining effectiveness.

Our glycolic acid is ideal for skincare brands, dermatological clinics, spas, cosmetic laboratories, and DIY enthusiasts who want the best quality ingredients. With consistent purity and strong performance, it helps you create high-value products that deliver real results.
