Salts or esters of thioglycolic acid:

Our thioglycolates

Thioglycolates are the salts or esters of thioglycolic acid. Apart from the carboxyl group they contain the functional SH group (thio group).

Used in cosmetics

Thioglycolates are above all used in cosmetics as wavy-hair products (chemical perms) or for depilation purposes.

More about their use in cosmetics

Used in chemical synthesis

In addition, they are also used in chemical synthesis as reducing agents, e.g. to reduce carbonyl compounds and transform them into alcohols.
