The Ultimate 100% Farnesol-Free Lactobionic Acid (LBA): Custom-Engineered for Extremely Sensitive Skin & Zero Sensitization

Clinically proven to reduce skin sensitivity markers by 40% within 48 hours, while delivering superior, non-irritating keratolysis and exceptional hydration to significantly reduce transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and accelerate skin barrier recovery.

In the advanced landscape of dermatological resurfacing and sensitive skin care, delivering effective exfoliation without triggering surface inflammation is the ultimate formulation challenge. Shaanxi Huatai Bio-Fine Chemicals Co., Ltd., a specialized high-purity cosmetic active ingredient manufacturer established in 2008, delivers a premium Lactobionic Acid (LBA) rigorously engineered to completely remove residual impurities. Built to be 100% farnesol-free, it establishes a flawless safety profile that eradicates the risk of ingredient-induced sensitization. By functioning as an advanced Polyhydroxy Acid (PHA) with a large molecular size, this ultra-pure active prevents deep, irritating penetration, providing professional-grade gentle exfoliation, super-humectant hydration, and powerful antioxidant chelating for even the most hyper-reactive, post-procedure skin.

Unlocking Unmatched Business Value

For Global OEM/ODM Innovators & Manufacturing Partners: Achieve ultimate formulation elegance and extreme compatibility. Our highly purified Lactobionic Acid is completely water-soluble, engineered to yield a highly refined, crystal-clear, water-white, and entirely odorless profile in the aqueous phase. It ensures zero unintended formula discoloration and guarantees it will never compromise the precise color, fragrance, transparency, or aesthetic of your final sensitive skin serums or clinical peeling systems. Exceptionally stable across a wide pH range (2.5 – 7.0), it seamlessly integrates with barrier repair ingredients and completely eliminates the manufacturing friction typically associated with standard, irritating AHAs for your cosmetic formula scientists and R&D laboratories.

For High-End Beauty Brands: Elevate your market positioning and clinical claims. This ultra-pure, low-irritation active is the signature choice for strict “Clean Beauty” mandates and highly tolerable “SOS Emergency Repair” formulations. Empower your brand to market “Gentle Keratolysis,” “Barrier Fortification,” and intense antioxidant protection without the stinging, dryness, or erythema linked to traditional chemical exfoliants. Capture the fierce loyalty of consumers demanding highly potent, non-sensitizing clinical solutions that deliver flawless texture clarity, profound moisture retention, and intense tissue calming.

Product Overview & Core Specifications

  • Appearance: High-purity powder (yields a refined, clear, and water-white profile when properly dissolved in final cosmetic solutions)

  • Odor: Odorless (scent neutral for absolute formulation control)

  • Purity: ≥ 98.0% (Maximum gentle resurfacing and super-humectant capacity)

  • Molecular Weight: 358.3 g/mol (Large molecular size ensures shallow, non-irritating penetration confined to the outermost layer)

  • Heavy Metals: < 10 ppm

  • Recommended Dosage: 2.0% – 15.0% (2.0% – 5.0% for daily gentle resurfacing; 10.0% – 15.0% for professional peels)

  • pH Range Stability: Exceptionally stable across a wide pH range of 2.5 – 7.0

  • Processing Guidelines: Highly water-soluble. Must be dissolved completely in the aqueous phase of the formulation before pH adjustment. For user comfort in leave-on products, final formulas are typically buffered to a pH of 3.5 – 4.5.

Ready-to-Use Solutions: The Golden Synergies

Provide your R&D laboratory with an instant blueprint for market success. Our Lactobionic Acid acts as a supreme biological resurfacing and hydrating engine, protecting and amplifying the restorative efficacy of companion actives:

  • Lactobionic Acid + Allantoin: The ultimate post-procedure and cellular clearing matrix. Combines the gentle keratolysis and metal-chelating antioxidant power of Lactobionic Acid with the water-soluble wound-healing properties of Allantoin to rapidly clear dead skin cells, refine texture, and instantly soothe post-peel, hyper-reactive skin.

  • Lactobionic Acid + Panthenol: A comprehensive “SOS Barrier Rescue” and resurfacing hydration system. Panthenol floods the stratum corneum with deep, targeted moisture, creating a healthy, non-reactive environment that allows Lactobionic Acid to effectively act as a super-humectant, locking in hydration and eliminating the post-peel dryness typically associated with standard acids.

  • Lactobionic Acid + Ceramide NP: The absolute structural longevity and “Clean Beauty Renewal” complex. While Lactobionic Acid works on the surface to safely dissolve desmosomes and sweep away dullness, Ceramide NP safely and physically rebuilds the skin’s newly exposed lipid cement, ensuring a resilient, luminous, and perfectly defended skin barrier against external aggressors.
