Information
Malic Acid is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that is known for its exfoliating, hydrating, and brightening properties in skincare. It is a mild acid that helps to remove dead skin cells from the skin's surface, improve skin texture, and enhance the absorption of other skincare ingredients.
Where does it come from?
Malic Acid is naturally found in various fruits, most notably apples, and it is responsible for their tart taste. It can also be synthetically produced for use in skincare products. Derived from both natural and synthetic sources, malic acid offers a gentler alternative to stronger AHAs like glycolic and lactic acids, making it suitable for sensitive skin.
Exfoliating: Gently exfoliates the skin, removing dead skin cells to reveal a smoother, more radiant complexion.
Hydrating: Improves skin hydration by enhancing the skin's ability to retain moisture.
Brightening: Helps brighten the skin and reduce the appearance of dark spots and hyperpigmentation, enhancing skin texture and tone.
Protecting: Supports the skin’s natural barrier function, helping to maintain a healthy and balanced complexion.
