Cruelty-free Lactic Acid, from brands that actually pass.

An AHA from brands that meet all three rules \u2014 not a stand-in for glycolic.

What it is

Lactic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid. It exfoliates. It is not glycolic acid, and it is not a diagnosis.

This page is the catalog’s Lactic Acid tag, with the standard already applied. It is not every AHA.

Who appears here

Every product on this page is from a brand that passes the Bunny Index Standard: no animal testing at any stage, not sold where testing is required, not owned by a parent that tests.

If a brand fails that bar, it does not make this page — even if the product is famous, even if the INCI list matches, even if the box has a bunny on it.

The three rules: The Standard.

Lactic Acid is the filter. The standard is the company. We list both, or we list nothing.
