How to use

Active ingredients

• Aloe Vera Juice (Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice) – contains vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and essential amino acids. Supplies oxygen to the skin and is considered effective in supporting cell renewal. Binds moisture, has a cooling, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial effect.
• Tamanu oil is a moisturizing oil that also has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. It accelerates wound healing and stimulates the growth of new, healthy tissue. Use it for inflamed, irritated, and barrier-damaged skin. It is also ideal for problematic and very sensitive skin.
• Glycolic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid with very small molecules. It removes dead cells and reveals brighter, fresher skin. Helps treat scars, discoloration, signs of aging, as well as fine lines and wrinkles.
• Rosehip seed oil (Rosa Canina Fruit Oil) – The oil from wild rose fruits effectively supports skin regeneration. Rich in vitamin C, minerals, beta-carotene, flavonoids, and malic acid, it helps with pigmentation spots and scars, supports skin elasticity, and evens out skin tone. It also benefits flaky, mature, and dry skin.
• AHA fruit acids (alpha hydroxy acids) gently dissolve dead skin cells and promote the process of cell renewal (anti-aging effect). AHAs help with blemished skin, fight pimples, and reduce acne scars. They improve circulation and can lighten pigmentation spots and refine pore appearance.
• Lactic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid that gently exfoliates and can reduce hyperpigmentation and age spots. It also has the ability to shrink large pores and revive dull, uneven complexion.
• Bentonite is a mixture of various clay minerals and mainly consists of montmorillonite. Bentonite has a large negatively charged surface that acts like a magnet to attract and remove metals, toxins, bacteria, and excess skin oil.
