Exfoliating Lactic Acid 10% + HA 30ml

This exfoliating formula contains 10% Lactic Acid, an alpha-hydroxy acid that helps slough off dead skin cells. Accompanying this mild exfoliation is a purified Tasmanian Pepperberry derivative, known for its ability to reduce the visible signs of inflammation and sensitivity that can often accompany exfoliation.

The Tasmanian Pepperberry derivative in this formula has been specifically studied and included to help mitigate any potential irritation associated with the use of acids. This botanical ingredient is of natural plant origin, and its color may vary seasonally, which could result in slight color variations in the formula from time to time.

It is important to note that Lactic Acid should not be used on sensitive, peeling, or compromised skin. Additional sun protection and other usage warnings are detailed in the provided directions.

The pH of this formula is approximately 3.8, which is closely aligned with Lactic Acid's pKa (the negative logarithm of the acid dissociation constant) of 3.8. This pKa value is a crucial consideration when formulating with acids, as it determines the availability and effectiveness of the acid. When the pH and pKa are closely matched, it creates an ideal balance between the salt and acidic forms, maximizing the efficacy of the Lactic Acid.

This product is vegan, cruelty-free, and formulated without oil, alcohol, silicone, nuts, gluten, and fragrance. It does not contain a safety seal.

The Tasmanian Pepperberry in this formula helps to reduce the visible signs of inflammation and sensitivity that can sometimes accompany the exfoliating effects of Lactic Acid, providing a more gentle and soothing exfoliating experience.
