Caution
A naturally occurring dicarboxylic acid, Tartaric Acid is most frequently found in grapes and tamarinds, among other plants and their fruit. Glycolic and lactic acids are members of the same alpha hydroxy acid family as Tartaric Acid.
It possesses keratolytic characteristics, which implies that it aids in the dissolution of skin flakes or harder skin layers. As a result, other topical drugs work more effectively since the skin's surface can absorb them more readily. Tartaric acid is helpful in treating dry skin disorders because it aids in the binding of moisture to the skin.
