Thioglycolic acid is a sulfur-containing organic acid that is a key ingredient in hair removal products. Thioglycolic acid has ability to break down the disulfide bonds in hair proteins, which allows for the easy removal of hair from the skin.Thioglycolic acid is utilized in the production of certain types of polymers and as a chemical intermediate in various industrial processes. Due to its strong odor and potential for skin irritation, thioglycolic acid should be handled with care and used in well-ventilated areas.
