Information
Tartaric acid is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) commonly used in skincare for its exfoliating and pH-balancing properties. It is a naturally occurring acid that plays a key role in gently removing dead skin cells, improving skin texture, and enhancing the overall effectiveness 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.
Exfoliation: Gently removes dead skin cells, promoting smoother, more radiant skin.
pH balancing: Helps to stabilize the pH of skincare products, ensuring they are effective and safe for use on the skin.
Enhances product absorption: Improves the skin's ability to absorb other active ingredients in skincare products.
Brightening effect: Contributes to a more even skin tone by reducing the appearance of dark spots and hyperpigmentation.
Antioxidant properties: Provides mild antioxidant protection, helping to combat free radicals and prevent premature aging.
