Our Base Materials Ingredients
Alpha Hydroxy Acids: Alpha and beta-hydroxy acids are natural substances derived from fruits, sugar and other plants. AHA minimize the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines as well as reduce superficial blackheads by sloughing off the dead cells of the upper dermis. AHA break down the glue that holds the dead skin cells together thereby encouraging exfoliation and resulting in fresher, smoother skin tone. Ammonium Laurel Sulfate: the ammonium salt of lauryl sulfate derived from natural coconut alcohols. It is a mild anionic surfactant cleanser with mild pH values. Ascorbyl Palmitate: (Vitamin C) is an active free-radical scavenger, which is also capable of reducing melanin to a colorless substance, combating excessive pigmentation.

The ozone present in polluted air decreases Vitamin E content in the stratus corneum, accelerating oxidation and destruction of membrane lipids, which in turns causes skin problems. For this reason, it is important to apply alpha-D-tocopherol topically to replenish the Vitamin E lost by the action of ozone on skin. Non-chirally correct forms of this chemical can be allergenic.
