Lactobionic Acid

Lactobionic acid is a type of polyhydroxy acid (PHA) that is often used in skincare products. Lactobionic acid is derived from the oxidation of lactose, which is found in milk. It was first discovered in 1989 by a team of researchers at the University of California. 

Cheat Sheet

Type Ingredients:

Acid derived from milk. Exfoliant 

Benefits:
Exfoliates, is gentler than regular acids, acts as humectant, hydrates the skin and keeps it plump. Lactobionic acid is a gentle exfoliant that works by breaking down the bonds between dead skin cells, revealing smoother and brighter skin. Unlike other AHAs, lactobionic acid is a larger molecule, which means it does not penetrate the skin as deeply, making it less likely to cause irritation or sensitivity. It protects against sun damage and brightens skin and fades dark marks. 
In addition to its exfoliating properties, lactobionic acid is also a powerful antioxidant that can help protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals. It also has moisturizing properties, making it an effective ingredient in products designed to hydrate and plump the skin. 
Uses

Lactobionic acid is often used in skincare products designed for sensitive skin, as well as in products formulated to treat conditions such as acne, hyperpigmentation, and aging. 

Contra indications:
Lactobionic acid is generally considered safe for most people, but like all exfoliants, it can cause skin irritation and sensitivity, especially when used in high concentrations or by individuals with sensitive skin. It is important to follow the directions on the product label and to perform a patch test before using any new skincare product.
