Cosmate®LBA,Lactobionic Acid,4-O-beta-D-Galactopyranosyl-D-gluconic acid is characterized by antioxidant activity and supports repair mechanisms. Perfectly soothes irritations and inflammation of the skin, known for its soothing and reducing redness properties, it can be used to care for sensitive areas, as well as for acne skin.
Lactobionic Acid, a non-irritating polyhydroxy acid (PHA) extracted from lactose. This scientifically advanced compound is designed to address a range of skin concerns while maintaining the highest standards of safety and efficacy.
Lactobionic Acid is different from traditional skin care acids because of its unique molecular structure. This aldonic acid is obtained by the oxidation of lactose and contains a galactose moiety linked to a gluconic acid molecule through an ether-like bond. What makes it unique is its ability to provide profound skin care benefits without causing irritation, making it suitable for even the most sensitive skin types.
Cosmate®LBA,Lactobionic Acid is a type of Polyhydroxy Acid(PHA) that can exfoliate skin,it is chemically and functionally similar to AHAs(e.g Glycolic Acid),but the significant difference between Lactobionic Acid and AHAs is that Lactobionic Acid has a larger molecular structure which limits its ability to penetrate the skin,resulting in less potential for stinging.
Cosmate®LBA,Lactobionic Acid’s main functions to the skin are *Smoothing of the skin,*Increasing Moisture and firmness,*Reducing the visibility of wrinkles,*Mitigating and Reducing irritation and wounds caused by rosacea,*Reducing the visibility of dilated Capillaries.
