Glycolic Acid is a colorless, odorless crystalline solid or aqueous solution valued as the smallest alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA), known for its excellent penetration and chelating properties across cosmetic, leather, and industrial applications. It shows up in skincare formulations, textile and leather processing, and metal cleaning applications, wherever a process needs a small-molecule acid with strong exfoliating or chelating action.
Chemxcellence manufactures and supplies Glycolic Acid, with each batch tested for concentration and purity before dispatch, since these specifications directly affect formulation efficacy, processing consistency, and product performance depending on the application. We work with cosmetic and personal care manufacturers, textile and leather processors, and metal cleaning and electroplating units, supplying both smaller quantities for trials and bulk drum or tanker volumes for larger operations. As a manufacturer and worldwide supplier, we ship across India and to international customers, with packaging suited to keep this product stable during transit.
Manufacturing this product ourselves means we can offer direct, competitive pricing on Glycolic Acid and adjust supply to match what a customer's formulation actually needs. Operating from Gujarat, we manage domestic dispatch efficiently and run an export process built to handle international orders with proper documentation.
