1. The main uses of lactic acid in cosmetics are:
a) Since L-lactic acid is part of the skin's inherent natural moisturizing factor, it is widely used as a moisturizer in many skin care products. L-lactic acid is the most effective AHA and has little irritation;
b) Since L-lactic acid naturally exists in hair and its function is to make the hair surface shiny and bright, lactic acid is often used as a pH regulator for various hair care products;
c) Lactic acid can be used as a moisturizer in various bath products, such as shower gel, bar soap and body lotion. It can be used as a pH regulator in liquid soap, soap and shampoo. In addition, lactic acid added to bar soap can reduce the loss of water during storage, thereby preventing the soap from drying out.

In addition, it has the following functions in the brewing, food and pharmaceutical industries respectively:
2. Brewing industry The brewing industry uses about 80% lactic acid. Adding lactic acid can prevent the growth of bacteria, promote the development of yeast, prevent the turbidity of wine and enhance the flavor of wine, and also increase the yield of wine.
3. Food industry The food industry generally uses 50% lactic acid. It is mainly used in lactic acid beverages, refreshing drinks, cakes, pickles and acidulants.
4. Pharmaceutical industry Lactic acid can be directly prepared into medicine or made into lactate. It can be used for intestinal disinfection when taken orally. It can also dissolve protein and keratin, and is particularly sensitive to the corrosion of diseased tissues, so it can be used to treat laryngeal tuberculosis, diphtheria, lupus and other diseases. In addition, it is also used for sword-reducing sterilization: containing cough drops, coatings, bladder injections, and vaginal cleansers. The hydrophilic characteristics of lactic acid are combined with insoluble drugs to increase the absorption of drugs and prevent side effects. Lactic acid is also a raw material for making erythromycin sugar coating, so it is widely used in the pharmaceutical industry.


Where Does Lactic Acid Fermentation Occur?
When you do high-intensity exercise, such as running or weightlifting, your muscles need energy to maintain exercise. Normally, your body uses oxygen to help break down glucose to produce energy, a process called aerobic metabolism. However, if you're exercising at a very high intensity, your body needs more energy, and the oxygen supply may not be able to meet this demand. At this point, your muscle cells turn to lactic acid fermentation to produce energy. This fermentation process takes place within the muscle cells, breaking down glucose to produce lactic acid and a small amount of ATP to meet the energy needs of the muscle cells. This is why you may experience muscle soreness during high-intensity exercise, as lactic acid builds up within the muscles.


What Does Lactic Acid Do for Skin?
Lactic acid has many benefits for the skin!
Exfoliation: Lactic acid can help remove dead skin cells on the surface of the skin, making the skin smoother.
Moisturizing: It can help the skin retain moisture and prevent the skin from drying out.
Elasticity: Lactic acid can make the skin more elastic and less likely to sag.
Protection: It can also help the skin maintain acid-base balance and prevent bacterial infections.
Reduce wrinkles: Lactic acid can promote skin cell renewal, help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and make the skin look younger.
Lighten spots: It helps reduce spots on the skin and make the skin look more even.
Reduce inflammation: Lactic acid can help reduce inflammation on the skin, such as acne or redness.
