Overview
Based on the available data, the CIR Expert Panel concluded that ... Ethyl Thioglycolate is safe for use in hair straighteners, permanent waves, tonics, dressings, and so forth, wave sets, other non-coloring hair products, and hair dyes and colors, as described in this safety assessment, at concentrations up to 15.2% (as Thioglycolic Acid). Hairdressers should avoid skin contact and minimize consumer skin exposure.

Uses & manufacturing
Applications
UsesIt finds its application in the reaction of the dilithio-derivative with an aldehyde, followed by conversion to the episulfide by reaction with ethyl chloroformate, and desulfurization with triethyl phosphite, leads to the (E)-2-alkenoic acid with high stereoselectivity. It is used as depilatories, hair straightening agent, hair waving agent, and reducing agent in cosmetic industry.
