Description
Glycine Hydrochloride (CAS 6000-43-7) is the hydrochloride salt of the amino acid glycine, also known as Glycine HCl, Glycocoll Hydrochloride, and H-Gly-OH.HCl. It carries no assigned E-code and is classified under HS code 29224999. The molecular formula is C2H5NO2.ClH.
In personal care formulations, Glycine HCl functions as a pH buffer and skin conditioner, stabilising acidic systems in hair conditioners and scalp treatments where controlled proton release is required. In food and pharmaceutical applications, it acts as a humectant and antimicrobial agent, binding free water to inhibit microbial activity while maintaining product stability.
Glycine Hydrochloride is available in crystalline powder form to food-grade (FCC) and pharmaceutical-grade (Ph.Eur.) standards, supporting procurement across regulated industries. The substance is registered under REACH and can be supplied in standard bulk packaging. Buyers should confirm grade specification against their application requirements.
