Alpha Hydroxy Acid exfoliates the top layers of skin by breaking the bonds between outer layer skin cells, sloughs off dead skin and reveals new undamaged skin underneath. AHA is known to help fight fine lines, wrinkles, other signs of aging, and in products that help reduce hyperpigmentation, acne scars, and sun damage. Thanks to AHA’s water attracting properties, it also helps improve and condition dry skin. Routine use of an AHA over time can result in smoother, more hydrated, and firmer skin. It has shown that AHA is effective in treating mild or moderate acne or helping maintain against future breakouts after a stronger acne treatment. For most skin types, our AHA Cleanser can be used daily. It is highly recommended whenever using any AHA products that you follow a good sunscreen regime.  
 
Witch Hazel is a naturally astringent. Cleansing excess oil, grim and dirt from skin. Witch Hazel also tones and tightens skin cells and balances skin’s own pH. Witch Hazel is effective in relieving inflammation, acne flare-ups, itching, redness and irritated skin. 
 
Bamboo Powder this powerhouse ingredient is packed with skin-benefiting ingredients that work to heal and regenerate the skin. Bamboo contains 70% natural silica, an organic compound that is essential for the body and works to keep your skin looking healthy, supple and radiant. Bamboo extract is also rich in many essential compounds, like amino acids and flavonoids, which are packed with antioxidants that protect skin from oxidative stress. This is an important component of the ingredient because it shields skin from damaging UV rays that will not only prematurely age skin but also irritate acne-prone skin. Bamboo extract can strengthen the skin, making it perfect for those suffering from acne.  When you’re dealing with acne, you’re also likely affected by a damaged moisture barrier, which is the outer barrier of your skin that protects you from bacteria and environmental pollutants. Bamboo extract helps strengthen that barrier and protect and restore your skin’s resilience. A stronger barrier makes it easier for skin to fight against acne-causing bacteria.
 
Fruit Acid Complex are a form of AHA found in cleansers, toners, moisturizers and serums. Derived from a wide range of fruits, or milk (lactic acid) such as sugar cane (glycolic acid), apples and pears (malic acid), oranges and lemons (citric acid), grapes (tartaric acid) or bitter almonds (mandelic acid), these forms of alpha hydroxy acids are used because they penetrate skin and help to exfoliate dead skin cells that sit on the skin’s uppermost surface, leaving newer and healthier skin cells to show through. Fruit acids also help to stimulate collagen and elastin production as well.
The benefits of fruit acid are many and they have been shown to help:
Reduce the appearance of wrinkles
Reduce skin roughness leading to smoother, softer skin
Decrease skin pigmentation
Improve the appearance of sun damage skin
 
Apricot Extract is very rich in minerals, acids, phenolic compounds and carbohydrates that offer nourishing and moisturizing benefits. Apricot Extract will provide excellent antioxidant properties, free radical scavenging and the protection of skin cells and cell deterioration.
 
Lemon Peel Bioferment lemons are another known source of the alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) citric acid.  Lemons also have high amounts of Vitamin C, anti-oxidants and are a natural skin lightener.
 
Honey Extract honey is a great wound healer, extreme moisturizer and skin barrier protector. The antioxidants in honey nourish damaged skin, potentially helping the scar and acne healing process.  Honey is high in antioxidants, which help smooth fine lines and wrinkles. Honey is also anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory.
 
Banana Extract brightens skin and reduces wrinkles, reduces eye puffiness, is moisturizing and hydrates skin, fades acne scars, treats psoriasis and relieves itchy dry skin.
 
Aloe Vera has various natural beneficial ingredients that bring about both beauty and health benefits.  Aloe Vera is moisturizing and soothing on skin. Used on all skin types. It’s perfect for improving hydration of dry, flaky skin without living your skin-surface with a greasy feel.
 
Strawberry Glycerite is in house infused with glycerine and fresh strawberries for three weeks. The skin benefits of this Strawberry Glycerite are; strawberries are rich in ellagic acid, which is an antioxidant. Antioxidants help to prevent damage by free radicals by binding to them. This potent antioxidant helps to minimize wrinkles and also prevents the destruction of the collagen, which is responsible for the skin tightness. Exfoliation. Strawberry mildly exfoliates the topmost dead skin layer, which can clog the pores. This helps relieve skin problems like whiteheads, blackheads, acne etc.
Natural Sunscreen. Strawberries have natural sunscreen qualities. The ellagic acid in strawberries helps to protect the skin against the harmful UVA and UVB rays. This is why strawberries are beneficial in providing sun damage protection. Sun damage can cause premature skin aging.
Skin whitening benefits. Strawberries are rich in Vitamin C, which is one of the major reasons why it lightens skin colour.
