Lactic Acid 10% Toner Formulation Calculation
Question
How to calculate the amount of Lactic Acid (AHA) 88% needed to formulate 100g of 10% Lactic Acid toner? I understand Lactic Acid offers moisturizing benefits and helps improve the skin barrier by boosting ceramides, unlike Glycolic Acid which I can use without irritation.
Answer
Hello,
Regarding your question about preparing a 10% Lactic Acid toner using Lactic Acid (AHA) 88%.
Your calculation is correct. To make 100g of 10% Lactic Acid toner from an 88% concentration, you would need 11.36g of Lactic Acid (AHA) 88% and add water to a total weight of 100g.
It's good that you are already comfortable using Glycolic Acid. Lactic Acid is indeed known for its moisturizing properties and its ability to help improve the skin's natural barrier function, which includes boosting ceramides.
