Lactobionic acid: the gentle exfoliant that is revolutionizing natural anti-aging skincare
Among the star 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 gentleness 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 harsh than AHAs (such as glycolic acid), it offers a resurfacing and hydrating action without compromising the skin barrier.
Where does it come from?
Derived from green biotechnology , lactobionic acid is obtained through the oxidation of lactose. It is therefore 100% natural in origin , perfectly compatible with a clean cosmetics approach that respects sensitive skin.
Why is it good for the skin?
-
Gentle exfoliation without irritation
-
Intense hydration thanks to its humectant power
-
Antioxidant action to fight against aging
-
Improved skin texture , without side effects
1. Common misconception: “All acids are harsh on the skin”
The truth:
Thanks to its larger molecular structure , lactobionic acid penetrates the skin slowly. This allows for very gentle exfoliation, even on sensitive, atopic, or redness-prone skin.
In our Théobroma Rich Cream , it smooths the skin texture, boosts radiance and promotes cell renewal, without tightness or flaking .
2. Common 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 high-quality 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, sensorial and ultra-effective formula for the skin.
3. Common misconception: “It’s not a true anti-aging ingredient”
The truth:
Far from being a simple gentle exfoliant, lactobionic acid is a complete anti-aging active ingredient . It:
-
Visibly reduces fine lines
-
Fighting free radicals
-
Improves skin elasticity and density
-
Strengthens the skin barrier for plumper, more radiant 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.
