Lactic Acid
A type of alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), it serves as a gentle exfoliant by loosening the bonds between dead skin cells, unveiling a brighter and rejuvenated complexion. Its efficacy is optimised within a pH range of 3-4 and concentrations of 5-12%. While effectively exfoliating, lactic acid maintains skin hydration, preventing dryness. It aids by addressing hyperpigmentation through the inhibition of melanin production. The outcome is a visibly brighter and more even skin tone.
Mandelic Acid
Classified as an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), it can be derived from bitter almonds or produced synthetically. Similar to other chemical exfoliants like lactic or glycolic acid, its primary function is to dissolve the bonds holding dead skin cells on the skin’s surface. This process unveils a radiant and healthier complexion, accompanied by unclogged pores. Mandelic acid distinguishes itself as a milder AHA due to its larger molecular size. This characteristic results in a slower absorption into the skin, allowing it to remain on the skin’s surface for an extended period. This makes it particularly suitable for individuals with sensitive, acne-prone, or irritated skin.
Pumpkin Extract
Pumpkin extract is a standout ingredient in skincare, renowned for its alpha-hydroxy acids, which effectively unclog pores and gently exfoliate the skin. Rich in antioxidants such as vitamins B, C, and A, it diligently combats free radicals. The presence of beta-carotene, a form of vitamin A, encourages collagen production, fostering a plumper complexion. Vitamin C aids in achieving an even skin tone and a luminous complexion, while its nourishing properties further enhance its efficacy.
Bisabolol
Also referred to as alpha-bisabolol, it is predominantly obtained from chamomile or produced synthetically. Renowned for its anti-inflammatory and soothing properties, it proves highly effective in alleviating redness and irritation. It exhibits the ability to inhibit melanin synthesis, making it beneficial for addressing hyperpigmentation and promoting an even skin tone. Often utilised in combination with other ingredients, bisabolol is recognised for enhancing the penetration of other active ingredients in skincare formulations.
