The salts of thio-acids:

Our thio-salts

Thio-salts (also called mercapto salts) are the salts of oxo-acids where one or more oxygen atoms are replaced by sulphur. In addition to the carboxyl group they also contain an SH group (thio group).

Used in cosmetics

Our thio-salts are, for example, used in hair cosmetics and, above all, in hair-perming products. Another large area of application is depilation.
