Lactic Acid

Lactic Acid is an organic liquid acid that belongs to the AHA (alpha-hydroxy acid) due to the presence of a hydroxyl group right next to the carboxyl group. This lactic acid is made by making sugars that go through the process of fermentation. Lactic Acid is an active ingredient in many skincare and cosmetic products because it helps in cell regeneration and restoration. It is used in some food items as a preservative, as it increases the shelf life of the products. It is also used in hair care applications as it exhibits both hydrating and exfoliating properties.
