PHAs in natural cosmetics: the gentle acid that revolutionizes skin radiance

What are PHAs and why are they so much talked about?

In cosmetics, we are familiar with AHAs (fruit acids) and BHAs (salicylic acid). But today, a new star is making its debut: PHAs (Polyhydroxy Acids) . Less aggressive, more hydrating, and above all better tolerated, they are becoming a must-have in natural cosmetics .

Why are PHAs better tolerated than other acids?

Their larger molecular structure penetrates less deeply into the skin, minimizing the risk of irritation. The result: smoother skin, an even complexion, and a respected skin barrier.

PHAs, perfect allies for natural and organic cosmetics

Natural cosmetics combine performance with respect for the skin. Combined with PHAs, they offer a perfect balance for those seeking a gentler, more conscious beauty.

Focus on lactobionic acid, the most promising PHA

Among PHAs, lactobionic acid stands out. It is a lactose derivative, known for its properties:

• Gentle exfoliation , ideal for sensitive skin

• Antioxidant power that fights the signs of aging

• Intense hydration thanks to its ability to retain water

• Helps reduce redness, unevenness and pigmentation spots

A complete, gentle yet powerful ingredient that is suitable even for rosacea-prone skin.

Why choose PHAs in an organic cosmetics routine?

Unlike some chemical exfoliants, they respect the skin microbiome and are easily integrated into an organic and 100% natural routine.
