⚠️ Important Safety Note for Daily Use
The acetic acid that we safely interact with on a daily basis is heavily diluted, typically to a concentration of between 5 and 10% as household vinegar. Pure acetic acid (≥99.5%), also known as glacial acetic acid, is a highly corrosive and dangerous chemical that should never be used in household or personal care products. It can cause severe chemical burns and respiratory damage.
