What is it?
Malic Acid is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that is known for its exfoliating, hydrating, and brightening properties in skincare. It is a mild acid that can exfoliate dead skin cells from the skin's surface, better skin texture, and contributes to the absorption of other skincare ingredients.
Where does it come from?
Malic Acid is naturally found in various fruits, most notably apples, and it is responsible for their tart taste. Malic acid offers a gentler alternative to stronger AHAs like glycolic and lactic acids, making it suitable for sensitive skin.
