Thiolactic acid is a carboxylic acid that is like lactic acid but one of the oxygen atoms is replaced by a sulfur atom. Thiolactic acid is predominantly used in cosmetic applications and hair permanent waving formulations. Instead of using the acid itself, its salts are used because they are safer to handle.
