Lactic Acid

Lactic Acid is a gentle yet effective Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) derived from natural sources like fermented milk or plant sugars. This cosmetic-grade exfoliant is ideal for improving skin texture, brightening dull complexions, and promoting smooth, hydrated skin. Known for its mildness, Lactic Acid is suitable for most skin types, especially dry and sensitive skin.

Benefits:

1. Commonly used in facial serums, toners, and exfoliating masks
2. Suitable for use in peels and chemical exfoliation products
3. Can be incorporated into lotions, creams, or DIY skincare blends
4. Ideal for anti-ageing and skin-brightening formulations

How to Use:

• Dilution Required: Lactic Acid must be diluted before topical application.
• Recommended Concentration: Use at 5%–10% in cosmetic formulations.
• Application: Apply to cleansed skin, avoiding the eye and lip areas.
• Sun Protection: Use sunscreen after application as AHAs can increase sun sensitivity.
• Patch Test First: Always perform a patch test before full use.
