It is naturally found in vegetables and fruits like unripe grapes, sugarcane, sugar beets, pineapple, and others. On a commercial scale, glycolic acid is synthesized artificially via several chemical reactions. Due to its moisturizing and exfoliating properties, glycolic acid is mostly used in the manufacturing of hair shampoos, face creams and lotion, and other similar products.
