DL-Mandelic Acid

DL-Mandelic acid is an aromatic alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) with a broad range of applications in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and chemical synthesis. As a chiral molecule, it exists in both D- and L- forms, but the racemic DL-form offers enhanced versatility. Due to its antimicrobial, exfoliating, and antibacterial properties, it plays a key role in skincare formulations, medical treatments, and industrial processes.

Applications of DL-Mandelic Acid

1. Pharmaceutical Applications

• Used as an antibacterial agent in treating urinary tract infections.
• Serves as an intermediate in synthesizing various active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Plays a role in dermatological treatments for acne, hyperpigmentation, and skin rejuvenation.

2. Cosmetics and Skincare

• Acts as a gentle exfoliant in chemical peels and skincare products.
• Helps reduce acne and fine lines by promoting cell turnover.
• Provides anti-aging benefits by improving skin texture and brightness.
• Works well for sensitive skin due to its larger molecular size, which allows slower penetration and minimal irritation.

3. Industrial and Chemical Applications

• Functions as a key intermediate in organic synthesis and polymer production.
• Used in the manufacture of biodegradable plastics, resins, and specialty chemicals.
• Plays a role in the production of chiral compounds for pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries.

Features and Benefits

• Effective Exfoliant: Gently removes dead skin cells while promoting a smooth complexion.
• Antibacterial Properties: Inhibits bacterial growth, making it useful in pharmaceuticals and skincare.
• Enhanced Skin Tolerance: Less irritating than other AHAs, making it ideal for sensitive skin types.
• Versatile Industrial Use: Serves as a critical raw material in pharmaceutical and chemical manufacturing.

Safety and Handling

• Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area to maintain stability.
• Use protective gloves, goggles, and a mask when handling in industrial settings.
• Follow proper disposal procedures to ensure environmental safety and regulatory compliance.
