3 Myths About Lactobionic Acid (And Why You'll Love It)

Lactobionic Acid: The Gentle Exfoliant That Revolutionizes Natural Anti-Aging Skincare

Among the star active ingredients in cosmetics, lactobionic acid is gaining ground. Exfoliating, moisturizing, antioxidant... it ticks all the boxes for the ideal natural anti-aging treatment , including for sensitive skin.

At Théobroma Beauty , we chose to include it in the formulation of our TH3+ Rich Cream for its unique softness and visible results. Here's why this ingredient deserves your full attention.

What is lactobionic acid?

Lactobionic acid is a polyhydroxy acid (PHA) , a new generation exfoliant derived from lactose. Less aggressive than AHAs (like glycolic acid), it offers a resurfacing and hydrating action without compromising the skin barrier.

Where does he come from?

Derived from green biotechnology , lactobionic acid is obtained by oxidation of lactose. It is therefore 100% of natural origin , perfectly compatible with a clean cosmetic approach and respectful of reactive skin.

Why is it good for the skin?

• Gentle exfoliation without irritation

• Intense hydration thanks to its humectant power

• Antioxidant action to fight aging

• Improved skin texture , without side effects

1. Misconception: “All acids are aggressive for the skin”

The truth:

Thanks to its larger molecular structure , lactobionic acid penetrates slowly into the skin. This allows for very gentle exfoliation, even on sensitive, atopic or redness-prone skin.

In our Theobroma Rich Cream , it smooths skin texture, boosts radiance and promotes cell renewal, without tightness or flaking .

2. Misconception: “This type of ingredient is not natural”

The truth:

Lactobionic acid is derived from a natural and environmentally friendly process . At Théobroma Beauty , we combine it with other noble ingredients such as:

• Organic cocoa butter , rich in nourishing fatty acids

• Theobromine , a powerful antioxidant extracted from cocoa

• Vegetable oils and botanical extracts, all selected for their high skin tolerance

All in a clean, sensory and ultra-effective formula for the skin.

3. Misconception: “It’s not a real anti-aging active ingredient”

The truth:

Far from being a simple gentle exfoliant, lactobionic acid is a complete anti-aging active ingredient . It:

• Visibly reduces fine lines

• Fight against free radicals

• Improves skin elasticity and density

• Strengthens the skin barrier for plumper, more luminous skin

In the TH3+ Rich Cream , it works in synergy with theobromine to boost cellular vitality, and with organic cocoa butter to nourish and soothe.
