Lactic acid
INCI name: Lactic Acid
What is lactic acid?
Lactic acid is a versatile organic acid that plays an important role in biochemical processes and has wide application possibilities in various fields of industry. Its use in the cosmetic and food industries is particularly significant, and it is popular as an AHA used in skin care. It is produced by fermentation from plants (sugar beets, sugar cane, potatoes), fruits (apples, grapes) and milk. This is the most common method because it offers a natural and sustainable solution.
The effect of lactic acid on the skin:
It helps remove dead skin cells, resulting in a smoother and brighter skin surface. Lactic acid has natural moisturizing properties, as it can bind water in the skin, thereby improving skin hydration. With regular use, it can help even out skin tone, reduce pigmentation and improve skin texture. Due to its pore-cleansing effect, it reduces the chance of developing blackheads and acne. Lactic acid also has anti-inflammatory properties, so it can help improve the condition of inflamed skin.
