Product Description:

DL-Mandelic Acid, also known as mandelic acid, is a white powder. Melting point is 119°C. Easily soluble in hot water, ether , but insoluble in ethanol. Exposure for too long will cause discoloration and decomposition. It can be prepared by the action of benzaldehyde and dibromide acetophenone. Used in organic synthesis, it is a special reagent for the determination of zirconium.
DL-Mandelic acid can be used as intermediates for vasodilator cyclic mandelic acid ester, eye drops oxybenzazole, etc. It can also be used as a preservative.
DL-Mandelic Acid is an aromatic alpha hydroxy acid with the molecular formula C8H8O3. It is a white crystalline solid that is soluble in water and polar organic solvents. Since the molecule is chiral, it exists in either of two enantiomers as well as the racemic mixture, known as paramandelic acid. Mandelic Acid is a colorless chemical, flake or powder solid, light color, slight odor. Soluble in hot water.

Application:

DL-Mandelic acid, also known as mandelic acid (first extracted from bitter almonds), is a large molecular weight fruit acid that can speed up the metabolism of skin cells, has an exfoliating effect, helps reduce fine lines, and removes deposits in the stratum corneum Melanin in cells, improve pigmentation, has whitening effect (can be used to lighten acne marks). But the effect is slightly inferior to glycolic acid, because mandelic acid has a large molecular weight and weak permeability. Because of this, mandelic acid is less irritating to the skin and is suitable for sensitive muscles.
