π§΄ Detailed Product Description
AHA Fruit Acid Liquid is a cosmetic exfoliating active designed for skincare formulations targeting dull, uneven, rough and blemish-prone skin.
AHA stands for Alpha Hydroxy Acids. Depending on the supplier, an AHA fruit-acid blend can contain combinations of glycolic acid, lactic acid, citric acid, malic acid and tartaric acid, together with botanical fruit/plant extracts.
These acids are used in cosmetic formulations to support exfoliation and skin renewal, helping remove dead surface skin cells and improve the appearance of skin texture and radiance.
It is particularly suitable for face serums, creams, lotions, exfoliating products, peeling gels, masks and cleansing gels, depending on the exact concentration and pH of the supplied material.
πΏ Key Active Acids
A typical AHA Fruit Acid Blend can contain:
1. Lactic Acid
An AHA commonly used in skincare for exfoliation and improving the appearance of skin texture.
2. Glycolic Acid
A small-molecule AHA widely used in cosmetic exfoliating formulations.
3. Citric Acid
An organic acid used in cosmetic formulations and AHA blends.
4. Malic Acid
A naturally occurring fruit acid used as part of some AHA blends.
5. Tartaric Acid
A naturally occurring organic acid found in fruit and used in some cosmetic AHA formulations.
One commercial AHA blend specifies approximately 30% lactic acid, 12% glycolic acid, 2% citric acid and 0.5% tartaric acid, but do not use these percentages for your product unless your supplier’s TDS confirms them.

| Category | Cosmetic Skin Care Active |
| Type | Alpha Hydroxy Acid Blend |
| Physical Form | Liquid |

For example, one commercial AHA blend specifies pH 4β5 and water solubility, while another fruit-acid product has a much lower pH of 1.2β2.5. This is why your exact product’s TDS is important before publishing pH or dosage.

π Recommended Usage
Do not publish a universal dosage unless it matches your supplier’s specification.
For reference, different commercial products give substantially different recommendations:
- One fruit-acid active: 1β5% for regular application and 5β10% for a one-off peeling effect.
- Another AHA blend: 1β4% depending on skin tolerance.
- Another supplier lists 5β15%, showing why the exact grade matters.
For your website, safest wording is:
βRecommended Usage: As per manufacturer’s technical specification and final formulation requirements.β
βοΈ Formulation Notes
AHA products are acidic, so the final formulation’s pH is important. Adding an AHA blend can change the pH and may affect the stability of an emulsion.
For formulation work:
- Add according to supplier instructions.
- Check final product pH after incorporation.
- Test formulation stability.
- Introduce into the appropriate aqueous/cool-down phase according to the supplier’s TDS.
- Avoid blindly combining with incompatible alkaline ingredients.
- Conduct a small-scale compatibility test before commercial production.
One supplier specifically recommends adding its AHA blend to the aqueous phase below 40Β°C.
