nThioglycolic

nThioglycolic contains thioglycolic acid, a mercaptocarboxylic acid that appears as a colorless liquid with a strong odor. In cosmetics, it is used to treat skin hyperpigmentation, especially dark circles in the periocular area. The formula includes nanoparticles of thioglycolic acid combined with an odor-neutralizing agent. This system masks the unpleasant smell of the active ingredient and improves the sensory profile of the final product, making it more pleasant to use.
