Glycolic Acid

A naturally occurring organic acid derived from plant-based sources such as certain fruits and plants. It is commonly used in hair care for its ability to improve the hair's structure and health, particularly in hair straightening and smoothing treatments.

Glyoxylic acid helps smooth and straighten the hair by temporarily altering its structure, reducing frizz, and giving it a sleek, polished look. It improves hair texture by smoothing the cuticle layer, making hair feel softer, shinier, and easier to detangle. This also reduces frizz and flyaways, enhancing the overall appearance of the hair.

By smoothing the cuticle, glyoxylic acid enhances light reflection, giving hair a natural, glossy shine. It also strengthens the hair by reinforcing the hair shaft, reducing breakage and split ends, and making the hair more resilient to damage. Glyoxylic acid locks in moisture, reducing frizz and providing a controlled, smooth finish.

Additionally, it makes the hair more manageable and easier to style by reducing tangling and the time needed for daily styling. The smoothing effects are long-lasting, often lasting for weeks or months, making it a popular choice for frizz control and hair straightening. 

Glyoxylic acid also promotes hair health by maintaining moisture and reducing dryness, helping to prevent breakage and enhance overall hair vitality.
