Cosmetic-grade lactic acid is typically produced via fermentation of plant sugars (corn, beet, or cassava).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What it does:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Lactic acid is a multifunctional active with two distinct, concentration-dependent roles in skincare.

Primary functions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>NMF humectant<\/strong> (at all concentrations): As a naturally occurring component of healthy skin, it attracts and binds water to the stratum corneum, contributing to optimal hydration and suppleness.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Gentle exfoliation <\/strong>(at higher concentrations >5%): At higher concentrations and lower pH (typically 3.5\u20134.0), it dissolves the desmosomes (intercellular &#8220;glue&#8221;) holding dead skin cells together, promoting gentle shedding and revealing smoother, brighter skin.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>pH regulator:<\/strong> Used in small amounts to adjust and stabilize a formula&#8217;s pH to a skin-compatible, slightly acidic range (4.5\u20135.5).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why we use it:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>In our daily moisturiser, we incorporate it at a low, non-exfoliating concentration within a skin-friendly pH for its NMF humectant and pH-balancing functions.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>INCI: LACTIC ACIDType: Alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA), humectant, pH regulator, skin-identical moisturizing factorOrigin: Naturally found in milk and human skin.
