On the safety of glycolic acid and breastfeeding
There are studies on the safety of glycolic acid in breastfeeding. Glycolic acid is commonly found in many skin care products and is known for its exfoliation and skin rejuvenation effects.

However, for breastfeeding women, this matter is related to the well-being of the mother and baby, and cannot be ignored. Cover the special physical condition of breastfeeding women, the substances involved may be transmitted to the infant through breast milk, and the infant's viscera are tender, and the ability to detoxify and metabolize is incomplete. Therefore, the effect of glycolic acid in breast milk needs to be investigated in detail.

The current study, or those who have explored the metabolic pathway of glycolic acid in the body after percutaneous absorption If it is absorbed through the skin and partially or into the blood circulation, the process of breast milk secretion is complicated, and whether glycolic acid will enter breast milk in large quantities is still inconclusive. Some people believe that its molecular structure is relatively small, and it is theoretically possible to enter breast milk.

There are also studies from the perspective of infants to consider their latent risk after exposure to glycolic acid. Infants have delicate skin and imperfect immune system. If breast milk contains glycolic acid, oral ingestion may affect the baby's gastrointestinal tract, liver and kidney and other organs, but the exact clinical data are limited.

In summary, in order to ensure the safety of breastfeeding mothers and babies, breastfeeding women should use glycolic acid products with caution. Or consult professional healthcare workers to weigh the pros and cons before making a decision to protect the health of the mother and baby.
