Naturally Derived Lactic Acid
Naturally Derived Lactic Acid is a cleaning agent that can also be found in cosmetics and household products, including skin care products, shampoos and makeup. It removes dirt and deposits by surrounding dirt particles to loosen them from the surface they're attached to, so they can be rinsed away. Lactic Acid is naturally occurring or can be produced synthetically, and in this use the lactic acid is naturally derived.
