INCI: Lactic Acid,

Lactic acid belongs to a group of alpha hydroxy acids (AHA) which show exfoliating, moistening and anti-aging properties. In nature this acid exists in sour milk, yoghurts, sour rye soups and silages. Lactic acid appears in two optical forms L and D, out of which only L-lactic acid is biologically active and is a natural element of the skin and hair. It is one of the main part of NMF – natural moistening factor, which is responsible for proper hydration of the epidermis. Lactic acid stabilizes process of epidermis exfoliation in a very delicate way.

It is also a moistening compound. It is used in cosmetic to biolifting for it makes the skin elastic, evens wrinkles, brightens discolorations and narrows pores. It is also used in conditioners and shampoos because it activates hair bulbs, accelerating hair growth. Lactic acid (up to 5.0%) has moistening effect as a result of its properties to bind water in upper layers of the epidermis. When used in proper concentrations (up to 5.0%), it loosens intercellular cement.

Regular use of cosmetics with lactic acid rejuvenates the epidermis and makes wrinkles even by means of a gradual exfoliation of dead cells of horny layer. Faster exfoliation of cells results in the growth of new ones. Preparations with lactic acid support the treatment of acne. When using masques with lactic acid pointwise (7.0-15.0%) one can try removing sun, acne and aging maculae.

After using preparations with lactic acid one should protect the skin against sun.

Without the layers of cornified cells, “young” epidermis absorbs nourishing cosmetics considerably better. Therefore, tonics, scrubs and masques with 2%-5% lactic acid belong to basic cosmetics for the care of oily, mixed, acne and mature complexions. The cosmetics with lactic acid should be used with the utmost care for dry complexion. Recommended concentration is from 2%-2.5%.

Lactic acid with concentration of 30% should not be applied directly onto the skin.
