Thioglycolic acid (TGA, also known as MERCAPTOACETIC ACID) is widely used in the hairdressing industry, which mostly caters to women. TGA has been reported to impair several organs, especially reproductive ones such as testes and ovaries. Thioglycolates (the salt forms of TGA) was shown to penetrate the skin and distribute to the kidneys, lungs, small intestine, and spleen; excretion is primarily in the urine. In addition, thioglycolates can be skin irritants of an animal and can be sensitizers.

Imidazole is a planer five-member heterocyclic ring with 3C and 2N atom and in ring N is present in 1st and 3rd positions. The imidazole ring is a constituent of several important natural products, including purine, histamine, histidine and nucleic acid. Being a polar and ionisable aromatic compound, it improves pharmacokinetic characteristics of lead molecules and thus used as a remedy to optimize solubility and bioavailability parameters of proposed poorly soluble lead molecules. The imidazole derivatives possess extensive spectrum of biological activities such as antibacterial, anticancer, antitubercular, antifungal, analgesic, and anti-HIV activities. The organic compound is used in the chemical industry as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals, pesticides, dye intermediates, auxiliaries for textile dyeing and finishing, photographic chemicals and corrosion inhibitors. The chemical possesses properties (corrosivity to skin, irreversible damage to eyes, teratogenic effects) indicating a hazard for human health. Humans are exposed by consumer products (chemical concentrations up to 10%) and at the workplace. Therefore, the chemical is a candidate for further work. An exposure assessment and if indicated a risk assessment is recommended.

N-palmitoyl glycine, an endogenous lipid that acts as a modulator of calcium influx and nitric oxide production in sensory neurons. N-palmitoyl glycine is used in cosmetic under the brand name TIMECODE™ for deep wrinkles and helps relieve chronic silent inflammation, increases micro-circulation due to poor oxygenation and lack of nutrients. This product is also recommended for sensitive skin and for tired skin.
