PURASAL® S/HQ 60

PURASAL® S/HQ60 is the sodium salt of natural L(+)-Lactic acid, obtained by fermentation from carbohydrates. Sodium lactate has a high water holding capacity and is an excellent humectant. As an important part of the skin’s natural moisturizing factor (NMF), it supports the natural moisturizing mechanism of the skin. PURASAL® S/HQ 60 thus provides moisturization to give softer, smoother skin. It is a essential moisturizing component, cost-effective and versatile, for all kinds of leave-on skin care applications. As a humectant, PURASAL® S/HQ60 is used in rinse-off applications such as face tonics, face and body washes and bar soaps.

PURASAL® S/HQ60 has additionally been shown to have skin lightening benefits and support the activity of other standard skin lightening actives.
