Tartaric Acid

Explained

Tartaric acid is an AHA with exfoliating and antioxidant properties. It is found in many fruits, such as tamarind, grapes, bananas, and avocados.

AHAs provide chemical exfoliation, helping to improve skin tone and texture.

Tartaric acid is not as well studied as other AHAs, such as glycolic acid.
