Quality Control

Our Glycolic Acid Calcium Salt is manufactured under a stringent quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets precise specifications for identity, purity, and composition. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, heavy metals, and loss on drying are provided to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency for our global B2B clients.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and must be kept in its original, sealed packaging to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect quality and handling properties.
