Information

Phytic acid is a naturally occurring compound found in plant seeds, especially in grains, legumes, and nuts. Sodium phytate is the sodium salt of phytic acid, a naturally occurring compound. In skincare, they are valued for their gentle exfoliating properties and their ability to serve as a chelating agent, which protects the skin from environmental factors. It is often used as a mild exfoliant and brightening agent in various skincare products.

Where does it come from?

Phytic acid and sodium phytate are primarily derived from plant-based sources, such as rice, wheat, and soybeans. The extraction process involves isolating the phytic acid from the seeds or grains, often through a combination of soaking, fermentation, and purification techniques. It is widely produced in countries with significant agricultural industries, such as India and the United States, where grains and legumes are abundant.

EXFOLIATING REJUVENATING PROTECTING

What are the benefits?

  • Gentle Exfoliation: Phytic acid provides a mild exfoliation that can slough away dead skin cells, promoting a smoother, more radiant complexion.
  • Brightening: It can even out skin tone and minimize the appearance of dark spots and hyperpigmentation, promoting a brighter, more uniform complexion.
  • Antioxidant: Phytic acid has antioxidant properties that protect the skin from free radicals and environmental factors.
  • Chelating Agent: It binds to metal ions (such as iron and copper) that can catalyze the production of free radicals, thus protecting the skin from environmental factors.
  • Rejuvenating: By promoting gentle exfoliation and protecting the skin, phytic acid can minimize the appearance of maturing skin.
  • Hydration: It can maintain skin hydration by contributing to the skin's barrier function.
