Mercaptoacetic Acid Sodium Salt（Cat No.:R070685）, also known as sodium thioglycolate, is the sodium salt of mercaptoacetic acid, featuring both thiol and carboxylate functional groups. It is widely used in cosmetic formulations, particularly in depilatory and hair care products, due to its ability to break disulfide bonds in keratin. In industrial and laboratory settings, it serves as a reducing agent, metal chelator, and intermediate in organic synthesis. Supplied at high purity, it is ideal for use in cosmetic chemistry, electroplating processes, and biochemical applications requiring thiol reactivity.
