Glypure® 99 is a glycolic acid in a highly purified (99+%) crystalline form. It's used for hair and skin care applications which require water avoidance.
INCI Glycolic Acid (99%)
When used in cosmetic formulations, Glypure® penetrates the skin cells effectively and stimulates cellular activity. As an anti-aging active, it moisturizes the stratum corneum to alleviate dry skin and flaking; can readjust the water percentage in the epidermis, allowing for smoother, softer, and more radiant skin; and increases the production of dermal matrix compounds and collagen synthesis in the dermis, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while improving elasticity and firmness. When used in hair care formulations, it improves heat resistance, manageable, and softness, providing enhanced moisturization and leading to healthier-looking hair.

The small molecular size of Glypure® allows it to penetrate the skin more efficiently, potentially enhancing the results of complementary ingredients, such as kojic acid and hydroquinone. Glypure® readjusts water percentages in the epidermis, stimulates collagen synthesis and promotes cell turnover/desquamation.
