Information

Tartaric acid is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) commonly used in skincare for its exfoliating and pH maintaining properties. It is a naturally occurring acid that plays a key role in gently exfoliating dead skin cells, contributing to skin texture and the overall efficacy of skincare products.

Where does it come from?

Tartaric acid is primarily derived from natural sources such as grapes, tamarinds, and other fruits. It is most abundantly found in wine, where it is a byproduct of the winemaking process. The acid is extracted and purified for use in skincare formulations.

What are the benefits?

pH LEVEL EXFOLIATING BRIGHTENING

What are the benefits?

  • Exfoliation: Gently exfoliates dead skin cells, promoting smoother, more radiant skin.
  • pH level: Can stabilize the pH of skincare products, ensuring they are ideal and safe for use on the skin.
  • Product absorption: Contributes to the skin's ability to absorb other active ingredients in skincare products.
  • Brightening: Contributes to a more even skin tone by minimizing the appearance of dark spots and hyperpigmentation.
  • Antioxidant properties: Provides mild antioxidant protection to combat free radicals and minimize the signs of maturing skin.

How is it used in our products?

Tartaric acid is used in F81 AHA + HT Serum Face from OLIVEDA.  It is combined with other AHAs, such as glycolic or lactic acid, to advance the exfoliating effect of the product while maintaining a gentle pH-level for the skin. It contributes to skin texture, brightening of the complexion, and overall skin vibrancy.
