About Mandelic acid
What is mandelic acid?
Mandelic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) popular in cosmetic skincare due to its exfoliating properties. Smaller AHAs penetrate the skin more easily, affecting deeper dermal layers and potentially resulting in irritation or inflammation. Mandelic acid is a preferred choice for many with sensitive skin as it is a larger molecule than many AHAs and less likely to cause irritation than others.
Mandelic acid is also produced as a metabolite of styrene and excreted in the urine. Styrene exposure in the plastics industry has been shown to affect the extraction of mandelic acid in the urine, meaning it can be used as a method of monitoring exposure.
