Lactic Acid Powder 99%

Lactic Acid Powder is a fine, white, crystalline powder form of Lactic Acid, a naturally occurring Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) obtained by the fermentation of plant-based carbohydrates (such as corn or sugar beet) using Lactobacillus species.

It is known for its dual action as a gentle exfoliant and humectant, helping to remove dead skin cells, improve texture, and boost skin hydration.
