Product Overview

Calcium Thioglycolate is the calcium salt of thioglycolic acid. It is primarily used as the active ingredient in depilatory (hair removal) formulations. The compound works by breaking down keratin proteins in hair, allowing easy removal from the skin surface.Compared with sodium or potassium thioglycolate, calcium thioglycolate offers improved formulation stability and lower irritation potential when properly formulated, making it widely used in creams, lotions, and professional salon products.
