On the safety of glycolic acid during lactation
Breeders in the world should always be cautious in the selection of medications and skin care ingredients during lactation. Glycolic acid is common in various skin care products, but there are different opinions on its safety during lactation.

Glycolic acid, a type of fruit acid, is often used to improve skin quality, such as brightening skin tone, refining pores, smoothing skin, etc., and is valued by the skin care industry. However, ingredients ingested by mothers or used externally during lactation can be passed on to infants through milk, so its safety needs to be carefully studied.

Some researchers believe that a small amount of glycolic acid skin care products used externally have a small amount of percutaneous absorption, and the content in milk is extremely rare, and there is no significant harm to infants. However, there are also doubts about the baby's skin is delicate and the immune system is not complete. Even a small amount of glycolic acid, long-term exposure, or latent risk.

From a metabolic perspective, after the mother ingests glycolic acid, it passes through the complex metabolic process in the body, and some components or milk. However, the human body's metabolic mechanism is complex, and its specific form and activity in milk are not yet fully understood.

If a breastfeeding woman wants to use a product containing glycolic acid, consult a professional doctor or pharmacist. According to the individual condition of the mother, such as constitution, past medical history, and the health of the baby, the doctor can comprehensively weigh the advantages and disadvantages before formulating an appropriate policy. Do not use it blindly, so as not to harm the health of the baby. In short, the use of glycolic acid during lactation requires safety considerations and caution.
