About Sodium Glycolate

Sodium Glycolate is the sodium salt of glycolic acid.[1] Its properties and feel in a finished product may vary depending on the concentration, the other ingredients used with it, the formula’s acidity, and manufacturing conditions. In cosmetics, it is used to buffer the formula so its acidity does not change rapidly.[2]
