Lactic acid 50/100 ml Alteya Organics

Lactic acid is a raw material for home cosmetics – do not apply it undiluted to the skin. Dilute before use or add to your formula. It is usually diluted in distilled water.

• As an exfoliant: typically 1–2,5% in the finished formula.
• As a pH regulator: typically 0,2–1%.
• Soap: add to handmade soaps according to the recipe.

Important: For external use only. Do not take internally. Undiluted lactic acid causes skin irritation and burns and can cause serious eye damage. Wear protective gloves and eye and face protection when handling undiluted product. Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes. In case of contact with skin, wash thoroughly with soap and water. In case of contact with eyes, rinse thoroughly with water for several minutes. If swallowed, immediately call a poison control center or consult a doctor. If irritation occurs, reduce the concentration; if it persists, discontinue use. The product contains AHA, which may increase sun sensitivity: use sunscreen, wear protective clothing, and limit sun exposure during use and for one week afterward. Before first use of the finished formula, perform a sensitivity test. Do not use if allergic to the ingredients. Consult a specialist if pregnant or breastfeeding. Store at 5–30 °C, out of reach of children.
