Science & Benefits

Potassium Lactate is the potassium salt of natural lactic acid. It is a highly effective, skin-identical humectant that forms part of the Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF). It also serves as a buffering agent to maintain the skin’s slightly acidic pH (approx. 5.5). It is zero-comedogenic. It is a logical choice for maintaining an environment that is inhospitable to acne-causing bacteria while ensuring the skin barrier remains soft and well-hydrated.
