India-based company Avid Organics announced its plans to launch AviGa Bio HP70 at in-cosmetics Global in Paris, France. This new ingredient is a bio-based, 70% cosmetic-grade glycolic acid intended for the personal care, cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries.
Avid Organics is a specialized manufacturer and supplier of specialty chemicals for the feed, food, pharmaceutical, personal care and industrial markets. The company was established in 2007 in Vadodara, Gujarat, and it is India’s largest manufacturer of glycine and glycolic acid.
According to the company’s press release, AviGa Bio HP70 is made from plant-based feedstocks and produced with renewable energy. Further, the ingredient meets stringent purity requirements for regulated personal care, cosmetics and pharmaceutical applications. The company’s manufacturing process ensures control of trace impurities, including formaldehyde, methoxyacetic acid and dichloroacetic acid.
“Traditional production relies on carbonylation of formaldehyde, a process dependent on natural gas and associated with measurable trace contaminants,” Avid Organics’ press release states. “As the personal care industry accelerates toward cleaner and more sustainable supply chains, the need for commercially scalable, bio-based glycolic acid has intensified.”
AviGa Bio HP70 is registered under REACH for European markets. The ingredient will be available to customers beginning April 14, 2026.
