Citric acid from oranges and other citrus fruits also fall under the same classification as glycolicglycolicglycolic acid.





Industrial uses for glycolicglycolicglycolic acid include rust removal and degreasing, so pure glycolicglycolicglycolic acid (generally sold in concentrations of 70% or better) is extremely dangerous to exposed skin. In fact, the government considers any product with a concentration of glycolic acid over 10% to be a hazardous material
