Lactic Acid

Cosmetic-grade Lactic Acid is a naturally occurring alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) derived from fermented plant-based sources. Known for its gentle exfoliating properties, it helps to remove dead skin cells, improve skin texture, and boost skin radiance. Ideal for formulating serums, toners, peels, and creams, this water-soluble ingredient is widely used in skincare products to promote smoother and brighter skin without harsh irritation.

Uses

1. Commonly used in exfoliating serums, toners, facial peels, and creams
2. Helps balance skin pH levels in cosmetic formulations
3. Suitable for anti-ageing, brightening, and hydrating skincare products
4. Used in low concentrations for daily skincare; higher concentrations for professional peels

How to Use

• Dilution: Always dilute before adding to formulations (commonly used at 2–10% concentration)
• pH Adjustment: Adjust product pH to 3.5–4.0 for safe cosmetic use
• Patch Test: Perform a patch test before full application to avoid irritation
• Formulation Tip: Incorporate during the cool-down phase of cosmetic formulations
