WHY IS IT GOOD FOR SKIN OF COLOR?

The most common way to exfoliate is to use a physical scrub and to mechanically rip skin cells off. However, this is not limited to just dead skin cells and can lead to skin sensitivity, a damaged skin barrier and micro tears.

A more even, controlled and gentle exfoliation is chemical exfoliation, with large Alpha Hydroxy Acid molecules i.e. Mandelic acid and Lactic acid.

We prefer to avoid Glycolic acid for skin of colour as it is a small molecule and can lead to hot spots.

It is ‘NAFE SAFE’ to minimise chances of irritation i.e. No Denatured Alcohol, No Fragrance and No Essential Oils.

Irritation can be more problematic for darker skin tones, and therefore it should be avoided where possible.
