AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Mask
The high-drama 10-minute treatment that Western skincare content loves — engineered with safety rails.
MOQ from 1,000 pcs (stock formula) · GMPC + ISO 22716 · US FDA registered
High-strength wash-off peels are the most viral skincare format on Western social media: a 10-minute AHA/BHA mask that delivers visible radiance after one use. The category is commercially powerful but technically demanding — a 30% acid load is safe only with correct pH control, clear contact-time instructions, and a soothing system that protects the skin barrier.
We manufacture a 30% AHA (glycolic-rich blend) + 2% BHA peeling mask at pH 3.5–3.9, with a botanical soothing system and full usage documentation. The formula ships with patch-test and contact-time guidance for your packaging inserts, and we can produce a gentler 15% AHA version for brands targeting sensitive-skin or first-time users.
Deep-red or clear wash-off gel · 30/50/100 ml tube or bottle · contact time 10 minutes max

How We Engineer This Formula
High acid, controlled risk
A 30% wash-off peel is a legitimate professional-strength home treatment — and it stays safe through three guardrails: verified pH, capped contact time printed on pack, and a soothing counter-system in the formula. We provide the instruction copy for your carton so usage is unambiguous in every market.
Content-ready product
This is the SKU that generates before/after content by itself. Brands launch it as the 'hero treatment' that feeds their social channels, with the gentler daily exfoliants (our 7% glycolic toner, 2% BHA liquid) as the routine companions — a natural three-SKU exfoliation story.
Honest compliance guidance
High-acid home peels face restrictions in some markets and channels. We flag the current EU limits on AHA in leave-on products (this is wash-off, which differs), provide safety assessment support through partner labs, and advise on warnings and instructions per region before you commit.
Manufactured In-House, Documented Per Batch
High-acid formulas are filled on dedicated lines with strict batch pH logging.
Our factory (Guangdong Kuaiying Biotechnology, license 粤妆20250206) runs GMPC and ISO 22716-certified lines with batch traceability from raw material to carton. Every production order ships with certificate of analysis, stability summary, microbiology report and MoCRA/CPNP-ready documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a 30% AHA peel legal to sell to consumers?
As a wash-off product with correct pH, contact-time limits and instructions, it is sold widely in the US and EU. Rules differ by market (EU restricts leave-on AHA levels; wash-off limits are higher), so we review your target market's requirements and prepare the warning and instruction copy as part of the project.
What is the MOQ for the peeling mask?
1,000 pcs per SKU on the stock 30% + 2% base; a gentler 15% version or a custom system keeps the same 1,000 pcs floor. Sampling takes 7 days.
How do you limit irritation for end users?
Three layers: the pH is verified into the 3.5–3.9 window, the formula includes a botanical soothing system and humectant cushion, and every pack ships with clear contact-time and frequency instructions. We also offer the 15% version for sensitive-skin positioning.
Can we add our own signature color or fragrance?
Yes — the deep-red color is part of this category's identity, but we can match custom colors and add a light fragrance. For sensitive-skin positioning we recommend keeping it fragrance-free.
