On whether glycolic acid is non-toxic

Those who have studied chemical substances in the world have discussed the properties of glycolic acid. Glycolic acid has its uses in various fields, but there are various opinions on its toxicity.

or cloud glycolic acid is non-toxic. Looking at it in daily use, such as cleansing products and skin care agents, there are many containing it. If it is toxic, how can it be used in people who are close to the skin? When used in daily use, no one is poisoned, and the skin is not uncomfortable. And in industrial processes, workers often contact it, and rarely smell people who get sick due to glycolic acid poisoning. From this perspective, it seems to be evidence that glycolic acid is non-toxic.

However, there are also those who disagree. Although glycolic acid is under normal conditions, it does not seem to be obviously poisonous. However, it may be placed in special situations, or it may be different. For example, high concentrations of glycolic acid, contact with delicate skin, or cause burns and allergies. And its metabolism in the body, the potential impact is not completely clear. Although it does not see its poison for a while, Aneng asserts that it is harmless for a long time?

I think that whether glycolic acid is non-toxic cannot be generalized. At ordinary use concentrations, and when used properly, its harm is not obvious, it is said to be non-toxic, which seems to be true. However, if used improperly, or in special individuals and special environments, its latent risk cannot be ignored. It is necessary to study it carefully and use it cautiously.
