Glycolic Acid Soap

Glycolic Acid Soap | Premium AHA Exfoliating Cleanser for Private Label & OEM Manufacturing

Engineered in our GMP-compliant facility in Huizhou, Guangdong, our Glycolic Acid Soap delivers clinically-validated chemical exfoliation in a stable, cold-process bar format. Formulated with 10% pharmaceutical-grade glycolic acid (the smallest molecular weight AHA at 76.05 g/mol) and reinforced with 2% salicylic acid, this exfoliating cleanser penetrates the stratum corneum to accelerate dead skin cell removal, reduce hyperpigmentation by up to 47% in 8 weeks (in-vitro testing), and refine skin texture. With 10+ years of OEM/ODM expertise serving 80+ global skincare brands across 35 countries, Poleview Biotechnology offers turnkey private label solutions, MOQ from 1,000 bars, and lead times as short as 25 days.

Features & Benefits

Our Glycolic Acid Soap is engineered as a dual-action chemical exfoliator that combines alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) and beta hydroxy acid (BHA) chemistry to address multiple dermatological concerns within a single SKU. The formulation is optimized for daily use on face and body, with a buffered pH of 3.8-4.2 to maximize efficacy while minimizing irritation.

Core Performance Benefits

• Accelerated Cell Turnover: 10% glycolic acid loosens corneocyte adhesion, reducing the skin renewal cycle from 28 days to approximately 18-21 days.
• Hyperpigmentation Reduction: Inhibits tyrosinase activity and disperses excess melanin clusters, visibly fading dark spots, melasma, and post-inflammatory marks.
• Acne Treatment Support: 2% salicylic acid is oil-soluble, penetrating sebaceous follicles to dissolve comedones and reduce P. acnes proliferation.
• Skin Brightening: Removes the dull, dead surface layer to reveal smoother, more luminous skin within 7-14 days of consistent use.
• Refined Texture: Smooths keratosis pilaris, rough elbows, knees, and bacne by exfoliating thickened skin zones.
• Hydration Lock: Enriched with glycerin (5%) and shea butter (3%) to offset the dryness commonly associated with chemical exfoliation.
