Glycolic acid, the powerhouse ingredient behind millions in the global anti-aging market, has long been tied to fossil fuels—until now. But now it is positioning itself at the forefront of clean, scalable innovation in skincare, haircare, and professional chemical peels.
India’s largest glycolic acid manufacturer will unveil AviGa Bio HP70 on April 14, 2026, at in-cosmetics Global in Paris. The product marks the first bio-based glycolic acid to reach commercial scale globally.
Traditional production relies on formaldehyde carbonylation, a natural gas–dependent process with measurable trace contaminants.
Produced entirely from plant-based feedstocks, AviGa Bio HP70 is backed by advanced manufacturing infrastructure powered by 100% renewable energy, REACH registration for European markets, and Avid’s 18-year record serving regulated industries worldwide.
“AviGa Bio HP70 is a 70% cosmetic-grade solution that meets stringent purity requirements for regulated personal care, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical applications,” said a company spokesperson.
“Our manufacturing processes ensure rigorous control of trace impurities, including formaldehyde, methoxyacetic acid, and dichloroacetic acid—commonly associated with petroleum-based glycolic acid. The product offers formulators a like-for-like technical replacement while enabling meaningful sustainability claims.”
