Lactic Acid 88%

Description: Lactic Acid 88% is a high-purity alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) widely used in 
cosmetic, personal care, and food industry applications. In skincare formulations, it is known for its exfoliating properties, helping to promote skin cell turnover and reveal a brighter, smoother, and more even-looking complexion. Due to its larger molecular size compared to other AHAs, lactic acid is often considered gentler on the skin while still delivering effective resurfacing benefits. 
In hair care formulations, Lactic Acid 88% helps smooth the hair cuticle, enhancing softness, shine, and manageability. It also functions as an effective pH adjuster and formulation stabilizer, supporting overall product performance and consistency.

Within the food industry, lactic acid is commonly used as an acidulant, preservative, and flavor enhancer. It helps regulate acidity, improve shelf life, and enhance the mild tangy flavor of foods and beverages such as dairy products, baked goods, confectionery, sauces, and fermented foods. Its ability to control microbial growth makes it a valuable ingredient in food processing and preservation. 
This versatile ingredient is ideal for use in skincare, haircare, cosmetic formulations, and food applications where exfoliation, conditioning, pH control, flavor enhancement, and product stability are desired.
