sulfonic acid

Sulfonic acid belongs to a category of potent acids identified by the presence of a
sulfonic functional group (-SO3H). While not frequently used directly in skincare due
to its strong acidic properties, derivatives of sulfonic acid might be present in certain
formulations. Renowned for their capacity to improve the solubility of specific
compounds, sulfonic acids play a role in enhancing the stability and efficacy of
skincare products. These derivatives serve diverse functions, including pH adjustment,
acting as surfactants, or participating in chemical reactions to provide specific
skincare benefits.
