DL-Malic Acid Description

Malic acid is a chemical found in certain fruits and wines. In manufacturing, malic acid is used to adjust the acidity of cosmetics. It can tighten pores and shrink water. It can regulate skin oil secretion and strengthen pores.

Malic acid is sour and acidic. This helps to clear away dead skin cells when applied to the skin. Its sourness also helps to make more saliva in people with dry mouth. Malic acid is also involved in the Krebs cycle. This is a process the body uses to make energy.

People commonly use malic acid for dry mouth. It is also used for acne, fibromyalgia, fatigue, wrinkled skin, and many other conditions, but there is no good scientific evidence to support these uses.
