GlossaryLactic Acid

organic compound produced in muscles during intense exercise

Lactic acid, also known as 2-Hydroxypropanoic Acid, is an organic compound produced in muscles during intense exercise when oxygen levels are low, leading to a temporary anaerobic state. It is also found in fermented foods like yogurt and sauerkraut, and is used in various industries, including cosmetics, where it acts as an exfoliant to help remove dead skin cells and improve skin texture.
