The burgeoning self-care and wellness movement has further propelled the use of this compound in over-the-counter skincare, especially for acne treatments and exfoliation. E-commerce platforms have played a pivotal role, broadening the global distribution and accessibility of these products. Moreover, biotechnological advancements are paving the way for sustainable and cost-effective production methods, making these products more affordable and expanding their application in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.
