Irritation risk:
Concentration: Insufficient!
Typically used to stabilize the product formulations. It is a salt of polyhydroxy acid (PHA) and in larger concentrations, can help shed the dead cells from the skin surface revealing smoother skin.

An exfoliating and moisturizing alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA). Typically causes less irritation than other AHAs, for example, glycolic acid.

Recent studies show that lactic acid can support the "good" bacteria living on skin's surface (healthy skin microbiome)
