Lactic Acid (Liquid) is a cosmetic-grade AHA derived from milk sugars, known for its gentle exfoliating and hydrating properties. It works by loosening the bonds between dead skin cells, helping reveal smoother, brighter, and more refined-looking skin.
Milder than glycolic acid yet highly effective, lactic acid is suitable for sensitive-skin formulations and glow-enhancing rituals. In haircare, it supports scalp exfoliation, helps remove buildup, improves manageability, and contributes to a balanced pH.
This liquid form blends easily into water-based formulations, making it a staple for both skincare and haircare products.
