Malic Acid is a naturally occurring alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) found in fruits like apples and grapes, widely used in food, cosmetic, and personal care formulations. In skincare, it helps gently exfoliate the skin’s surface, promoting a smoother texture, improved tone, and a more radiant appearance. Its mild nature makes it suitable for sensitive skin types when used in low concentrations.

In the food and beverage industry, Malic Acid is valued for its tart, clean taste and pH-adjusting properties. It enhances flavour in candies, beverages, sauces, and preserves, while also acting as a preservative. This fine, easy-to-use powder is ideal for formulators looking for a multifunctional ingredient with applications in both cosmetic and food-grade products.
