Tartaric Acid is a white crystalline dicarboxylic acid found in many plants, particularly tamarinds and grapes. Tartaric acid is used to generate carbon dioxide through interaction with sodium bicarbonate following oral administration.  It is a conjugate acid of a 3-carboxy-2,3-dihydroxypropanoate.

Application

Tartaric acid has antioxidant properties also popular in skin care products like serums and masks. Due to its antioxidant and exfoliation properties, most often it's used for reducing fine lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, acne, large pores, and dull/uneven skin tone.
