Due to the risk to human health, trichloroacetic acid has been classified in accordance with the Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council (EC 1272/2008) as a skin corrosive/irritant substance (cat. 1A). Trichloroacetic acid causes serious skin burns and eye damage, and is also a substance that poses a threat to the aquatic environment because it is very toxic to aquatic organisms. The values of hygiene standards in Poland for trichloroacetic acid have not yet been established. The Team of Experts of the Interministerial Commission for the Highest Permissible Concentrations and Intensities of Factors Harmful to Health in the Work Environment proposed adopting a concentration of 2 mg/m3 of trichloroacetic acid as the value of the highest permissible concentration (NDS) of the compound and a concentration of 4 mg/m3 as the value of its highest permissible instantaneous concentration ( NDSCh).

TCA Chemical Peeling

Chemical peels have a medium superficial strength or a strong deep peel. TCA peels are considered potent, which means they should only be used by a certified skin care professional. People who should not use TCA peeling:

• Breastfeeding and pregnant women
• People with skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema or rosacea
• People with poorly healing scars or wounds
• People who have taken the anti-acne drug isotretinoin (Zenatane, Amnesteem, Claravis) should avoid chemical peels for some time after completing the treatment.

ATTENTION !!! To create professional cosmetic TCA, you need to add Pure Glycerol, preferably pharmaceutical grade, in a precisely measured amount to obtain the necessary TCA concentration.
