                                Glycolic acid is a member of the alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) family, a group of naturally occurring compounds often referred to as 'fruit acids'. While the potent versions used in skincare products are almost always created synthetically in a lab for purity and stability, the acid is indeed found in trace amounts in several common food sources.
