INCI Name: Malic Acid

CAS Number: 97-67-6

Product Description
Malic Acid is a naturally occurring fruit acid found in apples and other tart fruits. As a gentle alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), it helps exfoliate dead skin cells, improve skin texture, and promote a brighter, smoother complexion. It also acts as a pH regulator, making it a versatile ingredient in both leave-on and rinse-off formulations.

This white crystalline powder is ideal for use in exfoliating masks, toners, serums, and anti-aging creams. It’s milder than glycolic acid, making it suitable for sensitive skin when used at appropriate concentrations.

Recommended Use Rate
Leave-on products 0.5–5%
Rinse-off products Up to 10%
Works best in formulations with pH between 3.5 and 5.5

Always perform a patch test before use in finished products
