Description: Lactobionic acid (4-O-B-galactopyranosyl-D-gluconic acid) is a disaccharide sugar acid derived from galactose and gluconate. Lactobionic acid has the antioxidation activity, is used in the development of cosmeticals for skin.

 

Lactobionic Acid alleviates skin irritations and inflammatory conditions. Having exfoliating properties and an ability to smooth skin, it reduces small wrinkles, strengthens epidermal barrier, and supports process of cellular regeneration. The tonic binds water on skin surface creating a film which prevents loss of water. Additionally, Lactobionic Acid has got strong antiradical properties and supports synthesis of collagen. Lactobionic Acid does not irritate skin, so it may be used on different skin types such as dry, sensitive, acne-prone or susceptible to other skin aliments (eczemas, psoriasis or seborrhea).

Function: As lactobionic acidis a larger molecule than glycolic acid, it will not penetrate the skin as well and thus is considered less strong and less irritating, below are all the skin benefits of lactobionic acid:
1. Brighter and more even skin tone for all skin types.
2. Increased cellular turnover rate to prevent buildup.
3. Hydration.
4. Reduced appearance of fine lines.
5. Increased elastin and collagen.
6. Protection against further sun damage.
7. Reduced appearance of scars and hyperpigmentation.
