You’ve seen us talk about LaH6, watched the formula win awards and recognition from industry experts, and may have considered trying our products. But what actually is LaH6 and what does this complex do?
Our LaH6 Skin Hydration complex may sound like something from the periodic table, but we’re not here to take you back to school – we’re here to transform your skin confidence.
What actually is LaH6?
Let’s break this down a little… In a nutshell, LaH6 stands for:
La: Lactic Acid – the hero ingredient in all our formulas because of its transformative power
H: Hydration complex formula
6: Six active ingredients:
- Ammonium Lactate, a derivative of Lactic Acid
- Urea
- Sodium Lactate
- Serine
- Allantoin
- Hydrolyzed Milk Protein
By combining exfoliating Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs), moisture-binding humectants and protective emollients, our expertly formulated products are designed to tackle dry, dehydrated, dull skin, rough or uneven texture, chicken skin, itchy or flaky skin and ingrown hairs on the face, body and scalp.
What does each ingredient do?
- Lactic Acid: We use Lactic Acid in our LaH6 Hydration Complex, as it is believed to penetrate the skin slower than other smaller AHA’s (such as Glycolic Acid). This in turn provides a more gentle, well-tolerated exfoliation, that focuses on the upper layers of the skin.
- Ammonium Lactate: Ammonium Lactate is a highly effective Alpha Hydroxy Acid, that promotes skin-surface renewal and encourages dead skin-cells to shed, revealing a smoother, brighter-looking complexion.
- Urea & Sodium Lactate: Due to their humectant properties, Urea and Sodium Lactate draw and bind water within the upper layers of the skin, leaving it feeling soft and hydrated.
- Serine: Serine is a naturally occurring Amino Acid, which is described as a ‘hygroscopic’ ingredient. This means it can attract and bind water, which helps to further condition the skin.
- Allantoin: In addition to its plethora of skin conditioning benefits, Allantoin is also known as an exfoliating keratolytic ingredient. Keratolytic ingredients encourage surface cell renewal, which helps to improve the appearance of rough, flaky texture, and leaves the skin feeling smooth.
- Hydrolysed Milk Protein: Hydrolyzed Milk Protein is an excellent skin conditioner, that works to bind moisture within the upper levels of the skin. This helps to further enhance the complexes moisturizing capabilities.
Together, these actives work together to exfoliate and hydrate the skin.
