The Environmental Impact of Azelaic Acid: Is It Sustainable?
Whoopee! We're diving into the juicy world of skincare, specifically Azelaic Acid, but from an environmental angle. Now, Azelaic Acid is a bit of a superstar in the skincare universe, but here's the kicker - is it sustainable? Turns out, it's not as green as we'd like. It's often synthesized from oleic acid, which is typically derived from palm oil, a notorious deforestation villain. But, it's not all doom and gloom - scientists are working on green ways to produce it. So let's keep our fingers crossed and our faces glowing while we wait for a more sustainable solution!
