Avid Organics Introduces the World's First Commercial Bio-Based Glycolic Acid at in-cosmetics® Global

Avid Organics Launches AviGa™ Bio HP70

Avid Organics, renowned for its innovative approach to sustainable skincare ingredients, is excited to announce the global launch of AviGa™ Bio HP70, the first bio-based glycolic acid available at commercial scale. This groundbreaking product will debut at the in-cosmetics® Global event, taking place in Paris on April 14, 2026.

The Importance of Glycolic Acid in Skincare

Glycolic acid, an alpha-hydroxy acid, has long been recognized as one of the most potent actives in modern skincare. Due to its small molecular size, it penetrates the skin effectively, making it a favorite in anti-aging formulations and various skincare products, including over-the-counter options, professional chemical peels, and even pharmaceuticals. However, traditional glycolic acid is typically derived from fossil fuels, which raises sustainability concerns.

A Shift to Sustainable Solutions

As the demand for cleaner and more sustainable supply chains in the personal care industry grows, the need for bio-sourced glycolic acid has become increasingly urgent. Avid Organics aims to fill this gap in the market with AviGa™ Bio HP70, which is derived entirely from renewable plant-based materials. This marks a significant transition from conventional methods, which often rely on fossil fuels and produce trace contaminants.

AviGa™ Bio HP70 is a 70% bio-based cosmetic-grade glycolic acid that not only meets pure quality standards but also supports the industry's shift towards greener alternatives. The production process leverages advanced manufacturing facilities powered entirely by renewable energy, ensuring an eco-friendly footprint.

Meeting Regulatory Standards

In addition to being sustainable, AviGa™ Bio HP70 is REACH registered, providing European markets with a reliable supply chain. This registration is critical as it assures formulators and brands of quality that meets the stringent regulations expected in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. The initiative also reflects Avid Organics’ commitment to transparency and quality in its offerings.

Founded in 2007 and headquartered in Vadodara, Gujarat, Avid Organics is India's largest manufacturer of glycine and glycolic acid. With a legacy of adherence to quality and safety, their production facilities are certified with FSSC 22000, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, and REACH, which fortifies their position as a trusted supplier in global markets. The company also has a commercial presence in the United States and operates a sales office in Maastricht, Netherlands.

Future Prospects

The introduction of AviGa™ Bio HP70 signifies a new era for formulations in skincare. By incorporating bio-based ingredients, brands can now make meaningful sustainability claims while effectively addressing consumer needs for innovation and quality. With the global market for glycolic acid and skincare products reaching billions, the impact of this launch will undoubtedly resonate across the industry. As Avid Organics prepares for the official unveiling, stakeholders and formulators alike are keen to see how this bio-based glycolic acid will reshape product offerings and consumer expectations.

In conclusion, AviGa™ Bio HP70 is not just a product; it represents a significant step forward toward a more sustainable future in skincare. The launch at in-cosmetics® Global is expected to attract extensive attention, setting the stage for a shift toward eco-friendly alternatives in personal care and beyond.
