Clinical Evidence on Lactobionic Acid

Impact on Skin Microbiota

Lactobionic acid is a promising alternative to traditional hydroxy acids. It can compromise bacterial cell walls and intercalate with microbial DNA, potentially preserving microbiome diversity. For more details, see From Acidification to DNA Intercalation: Dual Impact of Hydroxy Acids on the Epidermal Barrier and Skin Microbiota.

In studies comparing lactobionic acid to mandelic acid, it was found to significantly improve skin hydration and elasticity, especially in women aged 50-60. For further insights, refer to Influence of Lactobionic Acid on Hydration and Elasticity Parameters in Women Aged 30-40 and 50-60 Years in Comparison to Mandelic Acid.

Lactobionic acid has been incorporated into emulgels, enhancing the delivery of probiotics and supporting skin barrier function. This innovative approach shows promise for advanced skincare formulations.
