Avid Organics Launches AviGa™ Bio HP70: The World's First Commercial Bio-Based Glycolic Acid

In a groundbreaking move for the skincare and cosmetic industries, Avid Organics is set to launch AviGa™ Bio HP70, the world's first commercial-scale bio-based glycolic acid. This innovative product will be unveiled at the in-cosmetics® Global event in Paris on April 14, 2026. As an eco-friendly alternative to traditional glycolic acid, derived from fossil fuels, AviGa™ Bio HP70 signifies a significant shift toward sustainable practices in the beauty industry.

What is AviGa™ Bio HP70?

AviGa™ Bio HP70 is a 70% bio-based, high-purity glycolic acid of cosmetic-grade quality. Its introduction addresses the increasing demand for raw materials that are sustainable and traceable, especially given the growing concerns about using petroleum-derived ingredients, which have dominated the market for over a century.

The product’s formulation makes it suitable for a variety of personal care and skincare applications, from over-the-counter products to professional chemical peels and pharmaceuticals. As the smallest and most skin-penetrating alpha-hydroxy acid, glycolic acid plays a vital role in anti-aging skincare, and its demand is only expected to grow.

The Need for Change

Historically, glycolic acid production involved carbonylation of formaldehyde, which relies on natural gas and results in measurable pollutants. With the beauty industry striving for cleaner and more sustainable supply chains, the necessity for bio-based glycolic acid has surged. Many previous bio-based alternatives have not been commercially viable, leaving formulators seeking viable options.

Avid Organics aims to fill this gap in the market. As India's largest glycolic acid producer, they have established the capabilities to supply this innovative product globally, supported by an advanced manufacturing infrastructure powered entirely by renewable energy.

A Commitment to Quality and Sustainability

AviGa™ Bio HP70 meets strict purity standards required for regulated applications in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. The manufacturing processes ensure rigorous control over impurities, including formaldehyde and other harmful substances commonly found in petroleum-derived glycolic acid. This enables formulators to claim significant sustainability benefits while maintaining product efficacy.
