Overview of Calcium Thioglycolate
Calcium Thioglycolate is an important active ingredient widely used in personal care formulations, especially in hair removal (depilatory) creams and professional hair treatment products. It works by breaking the disulfide bonds in keratin, allowing unwanted hair to be easily removed from the skin surface without the need for mechanical force.
In personal and home care products, Calcium Thioglycolate is valued for its controlled action, effectiveness, and formulation flexibility, making it suitable for both consumer and professional-use depilatory systems. When formulated correctly, it delivers smooth results while maintaining skin comfort.
ChemicalBull supplies high-purity Calcium Thioglycolate suitable for cosmetic and personal care manufacturing, ensuring consistent performance, safety compliance, and reliable formulation outcomes.
