Lactobionic and Maltobionic Acids (PHAs)

Why add Lactobionic and Maltobionic Acids (PHAs) to your skincare routine?


Lactobionic and Maltobionic Acids are part of the PHA family and are also non-irritating. These patented ingredients are known as "Bionic Acids" and are derived from natural sugars. They help to reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles, discolouration, enlarged pores and roughness through gentle exfoliation. The bionics are a key choice for very dehydrated, parched and dry skin types.
