Lactic Acid

Lactic acid is an anti-wrinkle and anti-pigmentation component available in both over-the-counter and professional-grade skincare products. Lactic acid is derived from milk and belongs to the alpha-hydroxy acid (AHAs) class of anti-ageing compounds. Glycolic acid and citric acid are two further examples of AHAs.

INCI Name- Lactic Acid  

WHY YOU NEED IT-

• Our lactic acid is used to treat hyperpigmentation, age spots, and other conditions that contribute to a dull, uneven complexion.
• It also enhances skin tone and minimises the appearance of pores.
• It promotes cell turnover and cell renewal, which are the processes through which your skin loses old cells and replaces them with new ones.
• It works really well for sensitive skin because of its milder nature as compared to other alpha-hydroxy acids.
• Lactic acid is also a key component of over-the-counter lotions and creams for "chicken skin," i.e., pimples on the backs of the arms. Lactic acid aids in the dissolution of the clog of skin cells that form around the hair follicle, smoothing out the bumpiness.
• It is commonly found in topical therapies for eczema, psoriasis, and rosacea.

PROCESS OF USING- 

• Prepare the oil and water phases of your formulation separately.
• Heat the oil and water phases using a double boiler.
• Add our lactic acid to the water phase, accompanied by constant stirring.
• Blend both the phases together using a mini-mixer or a large mixing brush.
