Mandelic Acid Supplier in Malaysia
Mandelic acid supplier in Malaysia for personal-care manufacturers, fine-chemical producers and formulation laboratories. Mandelic acid is an aromatic alpha hydroxy acid supplied as a white to off-white crystalline powder or crystals, with CAS 90-64-2 used to distinguish the requested identity from mandelate salts and other organic acids.
Buyers may require cosmetic and personal-care grade for alpha hydroxy acid formulations or synthesis and intermediate grade for controlled reaction work. Useful purchasing details include the assay basis, water, colour, particle form, impurity limits and any stereochemical requirement relevant to the process.
Mandelic acid is used in selected skin-care and cleansing formulations, as an intermediate in fine-chemical production, and in analytical or formulation development. Concentration, pH, dissolution and compatibility should be assessed in the complete formulation rather than inferred from the product name alone.
Send the required mandelic acid grade, specification, quantity and delivery location for a quotation. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed for the quoted requirement without assuming a fixed pack format or supply route.

Mandelic Acid grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cosmetic and personal-care grade mandelic acid | fine crystalline powder | — | Alpha hydroxy acid formulations where the formulator defines purity, appearance, particle size, dissolution behaviour and relevant impurity controls for the finished personal-care product. | Pack format and supporting documents are confirmed with the quotation. |
| Synthesis and intermediate grade mandelic acid | crystalline powder or crystals | — | Fine-chemical synthesis and process development that specify mandelic acid identity, assay basis, water content, colour and impurity limits against a written purchasing specification. | Packing and grade documentation are confirmed for the quoted requirement. |

Safety and handling
Keep mandelic acid sealed in a cool, dry place, protected from moisture, contamination and incompatible materials. Follow the handling and storage information supplied for the quoted grade.
Common questions about Mandelic acid
Is mandelic acid an alpha hydroxy acid?
Yes. Mandelic acid is an aromatic alpha hydroxy acid. Buyers should still specify the required grade and application because personal-care and synthesis requirements can differ in impurity controls and documentation.
What is the difference between personal-care and synthesis grades?
Personal-care specifications typically focus on suitability for formulation, appearance, dissolution and relevant impurity limits. Synthesis grades are selected against process needs such as assay basis, water, colour and the impurity profile that matters to the next reaction step.
Can mandelic acid be supplied as a solution instead of crystalline solid?
This page covers mandelic acid as crystalline material. If a prepared solution is required, state the solvent, concentration and quality controls because a solution is a formulated commercial requirement, not an alias for the neat solid.
Is mandelic acid the same as a mandelate salt?
No. Mandelate salts are separate chemical products formed from mandelic acid and a counterion. Specify the full chemical identity and CAS number so the free acid is not confused with a salt.
Which specifications matter when buying mandelic acid?
State the grade, assay basis, appearance, water or moisture limit, particle form and relevant impurity controls. For synthesis work, include any stereochemical or process-specific requirement in the purchasing specification.
What details are needed for a mandelic acid quote in Malaysia?
Send the grade and specification, intended application, quantity, delivery location and required timing. Include preferred packing and document needs so they can be addressed in the quotation.
