Calcium thioglycolate trihydrate

Description:
Calcium thioglycolate trihydrate is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula C4H7CaO6S·3H2O. It is a white to off-white crystalline solid that is soluble in water, which facilitates its use in various applications. This compound is primarily known for its role in the cosmetic industry, particularly in hair removal products, where it acts as a depilatory agent by breaking down the protein structure of hair. Calcium thioglycolate trihydrate is characterized by its ability to form complexes with metal ions, which can enhance its stability and efficacy in formulations. Additionally, it has a mild odor and is generally considered to be less irritating compared to other thioglycolate salts. Safety data indicates that while it can cause skin irritation in some individuals, it is typically safe for use in regulated cosmetic products when formulated correctly. As with all chemical substances, proper handling and adherence to safety guidelines are essential to minimize any potential risks.
