HPCI India 2025

At the 14th edition of the Home and Personal Care Ingredients Exhibition and Conference (HPCI India 2025) India, held on February 18–19, 2025, at Mumbai’s Jio World Convention Centre, Avid Organics proudly showcased AviGa HP, our high-purity glycolic acid. This event, recognized as India’s premier platform for home and personal care ingredients, provided an ideal stage for introducing AviGa HP to industry leaders and professionals.

AviGa HP, standing for Glycolic Acid High Purity, is a versatile and multifunctional ingredient designed to elevate personal care formulations. Its small molecular size ensures deep penetration, making it highly effective across various applications:

• Skin Care: AviGa HP excels in exfoliation by penetrating deeply to remove dead skin cells, thereby improving skin texture and tone. It enhances hydration by boosting moisture retention, resulting in smoother, plumper skin. Additionally, it stimulates collagen production, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
• Hair Care: In hair care formulations, AviGa HP promotes scalp health through effective exfoliation, clearing buildup and creating an optimal environment for hair growth. It also improves hair hydration, enhancing overall manageability and luster.
• Oral Care: AviGa HP serves as a gentle yet effective agent in teeth whitening products, enhancing the appearance of teeth without causing sensitivity. Its cleansing properties help maintain oral hygiene by breaking down biofilm, contributing to overall oral health.
• Body Care: In body care products, AviGa HP is a key ingredient in peels, body washes, and lotions, promoting radiant and smooth skin through effective exfoliation.

AviGa HP is produced via the monochloroacetic acid (MCA) route, a method that offers significant advantages over the traditional formaldehyde route:

1. Higher Purity and Fewer Impurities: The MCA route results in a superior impurity profile, ensuring better safety and performance in cosmetic applications. In contrast, the formaldehyde route often leaves residual formaldehyde, formic acid, glyoxal, and other aldehydes, which can be irritating or harmful to the skin.
2. Lower Irritation and Sensitization Risk: AviGa HP’s cleaner production process reduces the risk of skin irritation, redness, or allergic reactions, making it suitable for sensitive skin formulations. Products derived from the formaldehyde route may increase the risk of skin irritation due to residual aldehydes and acidic byproducts.
3. Better Color and Appearance: AviGa HP is a colorless to light solution, ensuring aesthetic appeal in transparent and high-end skincare formulations. In contrast, products from the formaldehyde route may exhibit yellowish or brownish discoloration, affecting the visual appeal of cosmetic products.
4. More Stable and Consistent pH: AviGa HP delivers a stable and predictable pH, ensuring better formulation control and shelf life. The formaldehyde route can lead to pH fluctuations due to residual impurities, affecting product consistency over time.
5. Reduced Odor for a Pleasant Sensory Experience: AviGa HP has a neutral to mild odor, making it ideal for facial creams, serums, and other personal care products. In contrast, products from the formaldehyde route may have a noticeable aldehydic odor, which can be unpleasant in leave-on formulations.
6. Higher Safety and Regulatory Compliance: AviGa HP meets strict cosmetic and pharmaceutical regulations due to its purity. Residual formaldehyde in products from the formaldehyde route is a potential carcinogen, leading to regulatory concerns and restrictions in cosmetics.

HPCI India 2025 served as a premier platform for industry leaders to explore innovative ingredients and formulations in the home and personal care sectors. The event featured global trends, product innovations, live demonstrations, technical seminars, and a dedicated conference focusing on advanced trends and market insights. The Innovation Zone spotlighted groundbreaking solutions, providing attendees with a glimpse into the future of beauty, hygiene, and home care.
