Overview of L-Lactic Acid
L-Lactic Acid is a naturally occurring alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) widely used in cosmetic, personal care, and pharmaceutical formulations. It helps exfoliate dead skin cells, improve skin texture, and maintain optimal pH levels in skincare products. L-Lactic Acid also acts as a humectant, drawing moisture into the skin for enhanced hydration.
In formulations, L-Lactic Acid is often combined with Glycolic Acid, Hyaluronic Acid, and Niacinamide to enhance exfoliation, brightening, and hydration. ChemicalBull supplies high-quality L-Lactic Acid suitable for creams, serums, lotions, and topical pharmaceutical products.
Applications of L-Lactic Acid
Skincare and Exfoliation
L-Lactic Acid is used in facial and body creams, serums, and peels to remove dead skin cells, improve skin texture, and reduce dullness. It supports even skin tone and promotes a radiant complexion.
Moisturization and pH Regulation
As a humectant, L-Lactic Acid helps retain moisture in the skin while regulating the pH of cosmetic formulations. It is ideal for lotions, toners, and water-based skincare products.
Anti-Ageing Formulations
L-Lactic Acid promotes gentle exfoliation, stimulating skin renewal and reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and pigmentation over time.
Pharmaceutical and Topical Applications
It is also used in topical pharmaceutical preparations to adjust pH and enhance the efficacy and stability of active ingredients.
