Is Thioglycolic acid safe for skin?

Phenethyl alcohol

Thioglycolic acid is safe for skin use when used in appropriate concentrations and formulations, especially in cosmetic products such as chemical peels and hair care. However, thioglycolic acid may cause skin irritation, redness, or allergic reactions in some people, especially in higher concentrations or with prolonged exposure.

To ensure safety, it is important to:

1. Perform a patch test: Before using products containing thioglycolic acid, perform a patch test to check for any adverse reactions.

2. Follow Instructions: Use product according to manufacturer's instructions and recommended usage guidelines.

3. Consult a Professional: If you have sensitive skin or a special skin condition, please consult a dermatologist or skin care professional before using products containing thioglycolic acid.

 

Is Thioglycolic acid toxic?

Phenethyl alcohol

Yes, thioglycolic acid can be toxic if not handled properly. It is classified as a skin and eye irritant and contact can cause irritation or burns. Inhalation of its vapors can also cause respiratory irritation. Prolonged or repeated exposure may cause more serious health effects. Therefore, when handling thioglycolic acid, always take appropriate safety measures, such as wearing gloves and goggles, and working in a well-ventilated area. Always refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for specific safety information and handling guidelines.
