Thioglycolic acid

Thioglycolic acid has the characteristics of both hydroxyl acid reaction and sulfhydryl reaction, among which the most important reaction is the reaction with disulfide. Especially under basic conditions, it reacts with the cystine in the hair, breaks the -s-s – bond of cystine, and produces cysteine which is easy to curl.
