Corbion Purac will launch Purac UltraPure, a unique, high-quality grade of L-lactic acid with an extremely low base odour and a waterclear appearance, at in-cosmetics. Purac claim UltraPure is the purest natural lactic acid available and brings powerful moisturisation and anti-ageing properties to formulations where an exceptionally low base odour is required.
For moisturisation solutions it can be used as a powerful humectant that can support the skin’s natural moisturising factor (NMF) and provides hydration for up to four hours after application. The anti-ageing effects of Purac UltraPure derive from its ability to stimulate exfoliation and cell renewal, moisturise, and increase dermal and epidermal thickness. The product is effective for all skin types, is easy to formulate and safe in use.
The ingredient is produced by natural processes with the application of innovative and sustainable, technologies. It has a very low carbon footprint and is exclusively produced by the fermentation of carbohydrates.
