Glycolic Acid Testing – Potency, Safety & Compliance for Skincare Products

Glycolic Acid, an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), is widely used in cosmetic formulations for its exfoliating, brightening, and anti-aging properties. However, due to its potency and skin-penetrating ability, accurate testing is essential to ensure consumer safety and regulatory compliance.

Our laboratory provides reliable Glycolic Acid testing services for a range of products including peels, creams, cleansers, toners, and serums. We use validated techniques like HPLC, UV-Vis spectrophotometry, and titration methods to:

Quantify Glycolic Acid concentration
Validate product claims
Evaluate product stability and shelf-life
Ensure regulatory compliance (BIS, CDSCO, FDA, etc.)
Support product development and quality control

Whether you're launching a new AHA-based product or maintaining compliance for an existing one, our testing ensures consistent quality and consumer trust.

Why It Matters

Purpose of Testing

Concentration VerificationTo confirm that Glycolic Acid is within safe and effective levels (typically ≤10% in over-the-counter cosmetics) and matches the label claim.

Efficacy ValidationTo ensure the product can effectively deliver exfoliation, skin renewal, and anti-aging benefits.

Safety AssuranceTo avoid over-exfoliation, sensitivity, or irritation by monitoring and controlling acid strength and pH.

Regulatory ComplianceTo meet guidelines set by BIS, CDSCO, and other global regulatory authorities for AHA usage in cosmetics.

Stability TestingTo check whether the Glycolic Acid remains effective and safe throughout the product’s shelf life.
