The FDA has determined that these antioxidants are safe and effective when used in the recommended quantities of less than 200 ppm of the fat or oil content. Federal officials carefully monitor the extent of consumption of the additives, and the results of any new research to assure its continued use within safe levels.

To find out how AHA works for skin care, let us see how the skin grows old, and how to keep it younger. Cells in the outer layers of skin are bound together by inter-cellular fluid. As one ages, this glue-like substance binds the skin cells tighter and denser. Dead skin layers build up and unlike young skin, natural exfoliation becomes difficult. This group of natural acids has the ability to loosen this inter-cellular fluid, and allows the top layer of dead skin to slough off easily.

AHA's are one of the safest methods of skin renewal. Their effectiveness depends on the type and concentration of the AHA, its pH (acidity), and other ingredients in the product.
