Advanced Protease Complex at 2.5%: This advanced protease complex of water, protease, and aminopeptidase is obtained through precision biotechnology, utilizing controlled bio-fermentation processes to yield a highly purified blend of proteolytic enzymes. It works by selectively breaking down the protein bonds that hold dead skin cells together on the surface of the epidermis. This gentle yet effective enzymatic action loosens and digests corneocytes, facilitating their removal without causing irritation, resulting in a significantly smoother and softer skin texture.
Spiraea Ulmaria Extract (blended with butylene glycol and water) at 1%: An enzyme derived from meadowsweet and produced via cutting-edge biotechnology to specifically target and break down excess sebum and keratinized material within the follicles. This action helps to de-encrust pores, reducing congestion and blackheads, and improving skin clarity. Its inclusion ensures a comprehensive exfoliation that extends beyond the surface to refine pore appearance and reduce oiliness.
Opuntia Ficus-Indica (Prickly Pear) Fruit Extract, Lactobacillus Ferment at 2%: Derived from water kefir bio-fermentation, an eco-friendly green technology process that transforms natural substrates into potent polyhydroxy acids (PHAs). This innovation offers gentle exfoliation similar to AHAs but with a larger molecular size, allowing for slower, more superficial penetration, making it ideal for sensitive skin. It helps to loosen dead skin cells, promote cellular turnover, and simultaneously delivers hydrating and antioxidant benefits, leaving the skin feeling hydrated and refreshed, not stripped.
Betaine at 2%: Sourced through a sustainable green technology process, this highly purified natural osmolyte (betaine) is extracted from sugar beet molasses. A multifunctional ingredient, it acts as a powerful humectant, attracting and retaining moisture within the skin cells, maintaining cellular water balance. In this formula, it is key for preventing dehydration and discomfort, ensuring the skin remains hydrated, supple, and protected during the exfoliation process, enhancing post-peel comfort.
Bacillus ferment (blended with glycerin and propylene glycol) at 0.5%: This sophisticated keratinolytic enzyme is obtained through advanced biotechnology to specifically target and break down excess keratin, which can contribute to rough skin texture, hyperkeratinization, and clogged pores. By gently dissolving these protein buildups, it enhances the skin's smoothness, promotes an even tone, and supports the natural desquamation process, revealing fresher, more vibrant skin.
Bambusa Arundinacea Stem Extract: A natural physical exfoliant made from bamboo that is a green alternative to plastic beads. This finely milled, white powder is sourced from the natural exudate (tabasheer) inside bamboo stems. It delivers a soft yet precise mechanical exfoliation, ideal for both face and body, while imparting a silky-matte finishing touch, due to its silica content and absorbent properties. With a clean oil-control effect and gentle abrasivity, it refines skin texture, brightens complexion, and supports sebum absorption.
Salicylic Acid at 0.2%: A sebum-soluble, beta-hydroxy acid that gets deep into pores to exfoliate clogging oil and dead skin cells. Can also help soothe the skin. Note this is at .2% (point 2%), its kept at a low level for sensitivity and to avoid any OTC confusion.
