Some of the Key Ingredients:

With a smaller molecular size, it penetrates deeper for prolonged hydration up to 72 hours after application. Strengthening the skin’s barrier via hydration, supporting elasticity and boosting collagen – it locks in moisture while promoting the skin’s internal water production, hydrating the skin from the inside out.
• Alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs), Lactic Acid – Gently dissolving the glue that cements dead skin cells together, AHAs remove pore-clogging debris and congestion while their revered anti-inflammatory properties minimise redness and prevent breakouts.
• Jojoba Wax Beads – These biodegradable beads gently exfoliate the skin while their natural emollient properties help to maintain skin hydration.
• Free from – Parabens & Phenoxyethanols • Artificial Preservatives • Sodium-Laurel-Sulfate (SLS) • Artificial Fragrances • Phthalates • Fillers
