FAQs
What is the shelf life of this glycolic acid solution?
When stored properly in its original, tightly sealed container at room temperature, this 70% glycolic acid solution typically maintains its stability for 2-3 years from the date of manufacture. Always check the expiration date on the label and inspect the solution for any signs of degradation before use.
Can I use this for cosmetic formulation development?
Yes, this laboratory-grade glycolic acid solution is suitable for developing cosmetic formulations, particularly for research and testing purposes. However, any final products intended for commercial sale would need to comply with additional regulatory requirements and may require cosmetic-grade materials.
How should I dilute this to lower concentrations?
To prepare lower concentrations, carefully measure the required amount of 70% solution and slowly add it to the appropriate volume of distilled water while stirring. Always add acid to water (never the reverse) to prevent violent reactions. Use proper protective equipment during dilution.
