Product Description
Malic acid’s tart taste is mellow, smooth and lingering. These characteristics lend themselves well to applications with multiple acidulants, high intensity sweeteners, flavors and seasonings. All fruits contain malic acid, usually in combination with citric acid. The malic acid naturally present in fruits enhances fruit flavor and sourness.
In cosmetics Malic acid is used to adjust a product’s pH and, in an acidic pH range ideally between 3 and 4, as a mild exfoliant that can be used in lower concentrations (typically between 1–2%) to boost the efficacy of other exfoliants such as glycolic and lactic acids. Malic acid is an exfoliant with skin benefits like hydration, anti-aging and smoother skin tone.
The pleasant, refreshing taste of juicy fruits is partly caused by Malic Acid. Malic acid is used in beverages, powdered mixes, ciders and wines, acidified dairy products, calcium supplements, candy, chewing gum, desserts, and skin care products.
