PromaCare TGA(80%) is an organic compound with both carboxylic acid and thiol functional groups. It has a strong reducing effect under alkaline conditions, so it is widely used in cosmetic perm and depilatory agents. Because of its different usage, it can make the hair from soft to broken. Based on this feature, it has been widely used in hair perm and hair removal cosmetics. PromaCare TGA(80%) serves diverse functions as follows.
In cosmetic products: It is a key ingredient in depilatory creams, where its ability to break down hair proteins facilitates hair removal. Its inclusion ensures an efficient and convenient method for temporary hair removal, commonly used on areas like legs and arms.
In hair care products: It is used in permanent wave solutions, thioglycolic acid alters the protein structure of hair, allowing it to take on a new shape. This chemical process, known as a “perm,” is popular for creating long-lasting curls or waves in hair.
