      • Medical Disinfectants & Antiseptics - Lactic acid is also used in the formulation of hospital-grade disinfectants and antiseptic solutions due to its broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity.
  • Personal Care & Cosmetic Applications

    • Lactic acid’s ability to act as a gentle exfoliant and pH regulator makes it a favorite in skin and hair care formulations.

      • Skin Care & Anti-Aging - Found in creams, serums, and lotions, lactic acid helps to gently exfoliate dead skin cells, boost skin hydration, and reduce signs of aging. It is a preferred alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) in chemical peels and hydrating masks.
      • Hair Care - Lactic acid is commonly used in shampoos and conditioners to balance scalp pH, reduce dandruff, and improve hair texture.
      • Oral Hygiene - In mouthwashes and toothpaste, it helps prevent plaque build-up, neutralize harmful bacteria, and support enamel health.
      • Deodorants & Antimicrobial Agents - Due to its odor-neutralizing and antibacterial properties, lactic acid is increasingly found in natural deodorants and personal hygiene sprays.
  • Industrial & Chemical Applications

    • Beyond healthcare and cosmetics, lactic acid’s green chemistry profile makes it essential in various industrial applications.

      • Biodegradable Plastics (PLA - Polylactic Acid) - Lactic acid is a key monomer in the production of polylactic acid (PLA), a biodegradable, compostable plastic. PLA is widely used in eco-friendly packaging, disposable utensils, 3D printing filaments, and medical implants.
      • Textile & Leather Processing - Used in dyeing, tanning, and leather softening, lactic acid improves texture, finish, and process efficiency while reducing the need for harsh chemicals.
      • Adhesives & Coatings - In industrial paints, varnishes, and glues, lactic acid enhances adhesion, flow properties, and shelf life.
      • Cleaning & Sanitization - Eco-friendly and non-toxic, lactic acid is a preferred ingredient in surface cleaners, food plant disinfectants, and medical sanitation solutions.
