1. Depilatory agents: Calcium thioglycolate is the main depilatory agent today. It achieves its depilatory effect by destroying the disulphide bonds and polypeptides in the hair structure, as well as its reducing action under alkaline conditions, which reduces the mechanical strength of the hair. It can make the hair from soft to broken due to the different amount of its use, and has been widely used in perm and depilatory cosmetics.
2. Reducing agent: Calcium mercaptoacetate can also be used as a reducing agent, playing an important role in certain chemical reactions.
3. Skin care ingredient: In addition, calcium thioglycolate can also be used as a skin care ingredient in cosmetics, with the effects of moisturising and softening the skin, which helps to improve the environment of the skin and hair follicles.
