PYRUVIC ACID

Ingredient type: HUMECTANT/WATER-SOLUBLE

✨ Role: Pyruvic acid is known for its exfoliating and regenerating properties. In cosmetics, it helps remove dead cells from the skin's surface, promoting faster cell renewal. This can improve the appearance of dull, uneven skin, leaving it more radiant and uniform.

Ingredient type: Water-soluble

‍⚕️ Safety: Generally safe for cosmetic use, but it is advisable to use it in appropriate concentrations to avoid irritation.

✨ Vegan: Yes, pyruvic acid can be considered vegan because it is not derived from any animal products.

✨ Note: Although generally well tolerated, pyruvic acid can be irritating to sensitive skin, especially in high concentrations. It is therefore recommended to perform a tolerance test before use and to apply sunscreen during the day, as it can increase sensitivity to the sun.

Found in: Chemical peels, exfoliating serums, and anti-aging treatments.
