About Tartaric Acid

Tartaric Acid is an organic acid.[1] Its properties and feel in the finished product may vary depending on the use level, the ingredients used with it, the formula’s acidity, and manufacturing conditions. In cosmetics, it is used to buffer the formula so its acidity does not change rapidly and to keep the characteristic odor or taste of raw materials from becoming overly noticeable.[2]
