Lactic Acid Powder, 10OZ / 284g, Food and Cosmetic Grade, Lactic Acid Powder for Gentle Exfoliation, DIY Lactic Acid Facial Mask, Cream, Body Scrub, Lactic Acid Powder For Homemade Cosmetics

I use this for cheese making. Very nice basic lactic acid.

You have to know how to mix it for your individual skin. I do peels often 70%, 50%, and 30%. To cut down on the intense peels I got this. My first attempt resulted in something too strong. Anyway it works great in the body and face.

!!!False Advertising!!!!Description says that this is food and cosmetic grade. However, the label on the bottle clearly says “cosmetic grade.” Shame on you Amazon for allowing this to be marketed as Food Grade it is not!!!As a backstory I bought this product to get a batch of peppers fermenting for the purpose of making hot sauce. I bought the product because the description states that the product is food and cosmetic grade. That description is not true. This product is cosmetic grade only. It might be safe to use in/with food, but I don’t plan on finding out.

i got this without any clue how exactly i was going to fit it into my facial routine. all i was sure of was i knew i wanted the benefits offered by Lactic acid. The packaging and website i found stated this powder is cosmetic grade and high quality. Included in the package was a small scoop and a pamphlet with some good relevant information. First time using it was last night, i mixed 1/4 scoop with some HA and applied it to my face, avoiding the eyes. Also i made sure to have a sodium bicarbonate mixture at the ready in case immediate neutralization was needed. i experienced the ever slightest bit of a sting when first applied to my face. i let it sit for a minute then washed it off and wiped my face with a sodium bicarbonate soaked cotton round. so far so good. this morning there was no sign of inflammation or irritation nor any peeling. i did notice my skin had a hint of a healthier glow to it than usual. over all im pleased with the results so far, and im glad i chose to get this powder.

I mixed this with yogurt, oats, honey, banana, and aloe to make a face mask. My skin felt significantly softer and my pores didn’t look as clogged. I think it’s a great addition to diy products and I love that a little goes a long way!

I like to think of myself as an armchair chemist or doctor, and I love making my own potions. I hate paying high prices for something I can make myself. I've been using a commercial 12% lactic acid lotion for many years, but it is expensive! I love the face that with this powder, I can use it with any lotion I please, or make my own solution using water and glycerin. This powder comes with a little pamphlet with some great suggestions of things you can do with it; you can even use it as a scrub in the shower. It comes with a little spoon that helps portion it out.

NOT FOOD GRADE. Product description is wrong, this is only cosmetic grade. Might be a perfectly fine product for that use, but I purchased it because it was advertised as a food grade product.

Lactic acid is my favorite alpha-hydroxy acid because you can use it in fairly high strength for a lactic acid flash peel and not have to deal with huge amounts of peeling skin afterwards. Always be prepared to neutralize with baking soda (sodium bicarbonate)! You can also use it in a daily toner in lower concentrations to balance your skin’s pH and help exfoliation. If you don’t already have one, you’ll definitely want to use an accurate scale to weigh this powder out so that you can make the correct percentage solution, which is always defined as “X g of acid” divided by 100 mL of water (10% solution would be 10 g in 100 mL water). Being able to do this at home is so much more economical.
