Glycolic Acid
Glycolic Acid (10% Solution) is a powerful Alpha Hydroxy Acid diluted in a preservative free, aqueous base
Glycolic Acid (10% Solution) is an AHA that promotes exfoliation of dead skin, contributing to a smoother, brighter complexion. Glycolic Acid is the smallest and most highly soluble of the alpha hydroxy acids, making it especially efficacious in exfoliants and chemical peels.
This solution consists of 10% Glycolic Acid in a preservative-free, water base. While Glycolic Acid can be derived from natural sources such as sugar cane and sugar beets, this Glycolic Acid, like most commercial Glycolic Acid, is synthesized in a laboratory.

Sodium Lactate
Sodium lactate is a strong antimicrobial and a natural humectant, moisturizer and pH regulator. For lotion replace the liquid glycerin with sodium lactate, in cold process soaps use up to 1/2 ounce per lb of fats to harden the finished soap bar.
Produced from renewable resources and completely biodegradable makes sodium lactate a better choice when moisturization is desired. Studies have shown sodium lactate to be a better short term and long term moisturizer than glycerin.
Note: Our Sodium Lactate is Cosmetic Grade and not recommended for internal use.
