<p>Try our exclusive sample size of lactic acid - perfect for product testing, a DIY acid peel, adding to skincare products and more!</p>
<p>Lactic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid with both exfoliant and humectant properties. It is produced naturally in the body (it's the stuff that gives you a ‘stitch’ during a workout) and is also found in yogurt and milk.</p>
<p>It can help stimulate collagen and strengthen the skin, which equals fewer fine lines and wrinkles. The hydroxy acids exfoliate the top layer of skin, helping smooth and even complexion, keep pores unclogged, brighten skin and even fade dark marks and discoloration.</p>
<p>Size: 10ml.</p>

<h4><strong>INGREDIENTS</strong></h4>

<h4>WHAT DOES FOOD SAFE MEAN?</h4>
<p><strong>Food Grade: </strong>This refers to ingredients certified by an independent body (such as the FSA) as safe for human consumption. They are tested and produced under strict food-safe conditions. However, once repacked by a facility not certified by the Food Safety Authority (FSA), the product can no longer be sold or labeled as food grade - even if the original source was certified.</p>
<p><strong>Food Safe: </strong>These ingredients are pure, originally food grade, and commonly used in food. They are handled in hygienic conditions, and our facility is inspected and approved as food safe by local municipal health authorities. However, as we are not a certified food production facility, we do not label these items as food grade. They are safe for personal use but not recommended for products intended for ingestion if being sold to the public.</p>
<h4><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>FOR YOUR SAFETY</strong></span></h4>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Lactic acid, though well tolerated by most skin types, can still cause irritation. Follow up with sunscreen if using in the morning/daytime, as any type of exfoliant can make your skin more susceptible to sunburn.</span></p>
