Lactobionic acid is the oxidized form of lactose,which is extracted from milk,Lactobionic acid powder is a polyhydroxy acid that does not irritate the skin,and is a good moisturizer that helps the skin moisturize and keep it plump.The moisturizer can absorb water from the air or skin so as to keep the skin surface hydrated.The role of lactobionic acid serum is to gently exfoliate the skin and remove the outermost layer of dead skin cells.Lactobionic acid skincare for sensitive skin: Lactobionic acid is a mild exfoliant,making it very suitable for daily use (especially in those who cannot use strong acids such as AHA).Lactobionic acid uses to brighten skin: Since the cell renewal rate is increased to prevent accumulation,it can bring a brighter complexion to all types of skin.Lactobionic acid benefits:A study found that lactobionic acid can inhibit the "enzyme activity of matrix metalloproteinases", thereby helping to prevent further sun damages.


The effect of lactobionic acid:

1.Moisturize

This feature is due to the special chemical structure of lactobionic acid, with eight groups of hydroxyl groups that strongly absorb water.


2.Antioxidant and anti-aging

The powerful antioxidant properties of lactobionic acid can chelate ferric ions and protect the integrity of cell membranes from oxidative damage.

It also chelates zinc ions, thereby inhibiting matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) (actually enzymes that break down collagen!), which protects collagen and prevents wrinkles.

It can also grab zinc ions and prevent them from deactivating collagen's nemesis - matrix metalloproteinase MMP, which protects collagen and reduces wrinkles.


3.Whitening

Lactobionic acid has many functions, and it can also play a certain role in tyrosinase. The formation of melanin is that copper ions activate tyrosinase, turning it into melanin.

And if there is lactobionic acid, it will grab copper ions one step ahead, let tyrosinase continue to "sleep", unable to produce melanin, thus playing a whitening effect.


4.Exfoliate aging keratin and brighten skin

In fact, as early as 1974, international physicians published a scientific paper, affirming that fruit acid can soften and remove dead skin cells, while stimulating the proliferation of hyaluronic acid and collagen, making the skin plump and elastic, and pores more delicate.

Lactobionic acid can effectively promote skin keratin renewal, remove old dead skin cells, and control oil production. Long-term use can make pores more delicate.

★Does Lactobionic Acid have any potential safety risks or prohibited uses?

Lactobionic Acid has no identified potential risk substances and is safe for cosmetic use when applied within the regulatory limits and under normal, reasonable, and foreseeable conditions. It is non-toxic, non-irritating when used properly, and does not cause photosensitivity easily (unlike strong AHAs), though daily sunscreen is still recommended for products with exfoliating properties. It is not prohibited in any cosmetic category, but avoid using it in products for severely inflamed or broken skin.


★What is the solubility of Lactobionic Acid for cosmetic formulation?

Lactobionic Acid is soluble in water and ethanol, and meets cosmetic-grade quality standards with no harmful impurities.


★What is the recommended addition amount of Lactobionic Acid in different cosmetic products?

The recommended addition amount varies by product type and efficacy requirements, while complying with the maximum limit of 6% (calculated as acid):

- Toners, essences, and light lotions: 0.5% - 2.0% (for gentle hydration, soothing, and mild exfoliation);

- Moisturizing creams, serums, and sheet masks: 2.0% - 4.0% (for enhanced hydration, barrier repair, and antioxidant protection);

- Exfoliating products (e.g., peels, exfoliating pads): 4.0% - 6.0% (for effective yet gentle exfoliation, without exceeding the regulatory limit);

- Post-medical beauty repair products: 2.0% - 3.0% (for soothing, repairing, and reducing irritation).


★What is the ideal pH range for formulating products with Lactobionic Acid?

The ideal pH range for Lactobionic Acid to exert its efficacy while ensuring skin compatibility is 3.5 - 5.5. This range matches the skin’s natural pH, helps maintain the stability of Lactobionic Acid, and avoids skin irritation. If the product pH is too low (below 3.5), it may cause stinging; if too high (above 5.5), the exfoliating and hydrating efficacy of Lactobionic Acid will be reduced. It is recommended to adjust the pH with neutralizers (e.g., triethanolamine) during formulation.


★Which cosmetic products are most suitable for adding Lactobionic Acid?

Sensitive skin care products (toners, serums, moisturizers): Its large molecular weight ensures slow skin penetration and low irritation, ideal for soothing sensitive and reactive skin;

- Hydrating and moisturizing products (sheet masks, overnight creams): Its humectant properties help attract and retain moisture, improving skin dryness and dehydration;

- Exfoliating products (gentle peels, exfoliating lotions): Suitable for beginners or those with sensitive skin who cannot tolerate strong AHAs/BHAs;

- Anti-aging products (serums, creams): It promotes collagen synthesis, improves skin firmness, and reduces the visible signs of aging;

- Post-medical beauty repair products (soothing gels, repair masks): Helps soothe irritation and repair the skin barrier after laser, micro-needling, or chemical peeling.


★Is Lactobionic Acid compatible with other common cosmetic ingredients?

Yes

Compatible ingredients: Niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, ceramide, vitamin C (ascorbic acid), Centella asiatica extract, and other soothing, hydrating, and antioxidant ingredients (synergistically enhance efficacy);

- Incompatible/need caution: Avoid mixing with high-concentration retinol (may increase irritation) and strong exfoliants (e.g., high-concentration glycolic acid, salicylic acid) to prevent excessive exfoliation and skin barrier damage;


★What precautions should we take when adding Lactobionic Acid during production?

1. Add Lactobionic Acid to the water phase of the formula, and stir until fully dissolved (it is water-soluble, so avoid adding to the oil phase);

2. Add it at a temperature below 60℃ to prevent thermal decomposition and loss of efficacy (preferably add after cooling the water phase to 40-50℃);

3. Adjust the product pH to 3.5-5.5 after adding Lactobionic Acid to ensure its stability and skin compatibility;

4. Conduct stability tests (high temperature, low temperature, cyclic temperature) after formulation to confirm that the product does not stratify, discolor, or degrade during storage.
