  • Ammonium Lactate vs Lactic Acid

    Posted by Thota on February 2, 2021 at 6:02 pm

    I am planning on lactic acid lotion with ph 3.8-4
    And I see many brands use Ammonium Lactate.
    I have lactic acid in my inventory.

    Is there any specific reason Ammonium lactate is favoured over using lactic acid?

    I did a quick google search and found your answer. Try it next time. :)
    Ammonium Lactate is significantly more effective than Lactic acid. Ammonium lactate is better moisturizer. 
    For more info, try to google it. Was really easy :)
