Hair Care Benefits
- Strengthening: penetrates the hair shaft, stabilizing the keratin from within for hair that is stronger and more resistant to damage caused by wet and dry combing
- Softening: Glypure® reduces the elastic modulus, or stiffness, of the hair, for improved manageability and softness
- Moisturizing: increases the denaturation temperature of keratin, or the temperature at which hair loses its entrained moisture, helping to prevent heat damage to both healthy and chemically treated hair
Scalp Care Applications

Glypure® Major Benefits as an Ingredient Booster
- A penetrating ingredient: Glypure® offers a platform for enhanced active ingredient delivery
- Formulation stability: Glypure® functions as a stabilizer in formulation; reducing pH, buffering and chelating ions that can destabilize active ingredients
- Boost efficacy of other ingredients: Glypure® is used in combination with other AHA’s to stabilize formulation pH, improve solubility, and increase speed of action. Combinations with Vitamin C enhance stability, formulation clarity, and delivery of the active to the skin
- Glypure + BHA for anti-acne treatment: Glypure® enhances depth of penetration and delivery of other acne-fighting ingredients such as salicylic acid; preliminary data also indicates efficacy against certain acne-causing bacteria
- Reduce the amount of active ingredient: By exfoliating the skin, Glypure® helps active ingredients reach targeted areas of the skin more efficiently, allowing for same or better performance with less active ingredient
- Antimicrobial: Glypure® has demonstrated antimicrobial activity to help reduce product contamination and spoilage. Glypure® can boost the efficacy of existing preservative systems or be used in combination with other hurdle methods to protect the product on the shelf
Sustainable
The journey to sustainable glycolic acid production is driven by the growing consumer demand for sustainable, nature-identical, active ingredients. PureTech Scientific has taken the first step to validate raw material and power supply baselines as we undergo a shift to hit our near-term targets to source 50% of our raw materials from bio-based or upcycled sources.
Step 1
Replace fossil fuel-based electricity with renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power
Step 2
Replace fossil fuel-derived carbon dioxide with renewable sourced recycled carbon dioxide
Step 3
Replace synthetic precursor with bio-based syngas
Step 4
Install carbon capture in production exhaust gases for utilities generation
