Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHA) gently exfoliates your skin and are said to improve texture and elasticity.
This bundle is a blend of Glycolic Crystals, milk sugar and & other fruit acids to help skin appear smoother, softer, and tighter. With the softening power of Glycerin, who could ask for more?
Please be cautious in your formulations that contain glycolic acid. It is not necessary to use large percentages of glycolic acid in order to have a positive effect on the skin.
While the FDA does allow the use of 10% in “at home” products, Essential Wholesale advises that you experiment with percentage ranges of 1-5% in your formulations. We have found that smaller percentages used more often can be more effective and less traumatic to the skin than high doses used irregularly. Recovery time should be a matter of hours and not days or weeks as with some alpha hydroxy acid products on the market.
If you manufacture a high alpha hydroxy acid product you should also sell a recovery serum, oil or masque. According to the FDA, “the panel concluded that AHA's are ‘safe for use in cosmetic products at concentrations less than or equal to 10 percent, at final formulation pH's greater than or equal to 3.5, when formulated to avoid increasing the skin's sensitivity to the sun, or when directions for use include the daily use of sun protection.’
For salon use products, the panel said that the products are ‘safe for use at concentrations less than or equal to 30 percent, at final formulation pH's greater than or equal to 3.0, in products designed for brief, discontinuous use followed by thorough rinsing from the skin, when applied by trained professionals, and when application is accompanied by directions for the daily use of sun protection.’”
The FDA requires that you include this warning on any product made with AHAs:
