Absorption

Absorption describes how well a substance penetrates your skin. Here we measure absorption in terms of its rate of penetration into your skin. How fast did it absorb? Some products don't absorb well, and instead "sit" on top of skin forming a film, which can range from light to heavy. If you still have a layer of product sitting on top of your skin, the rate would be considered Very Slow.

Description

This product meets our natural beauty standards with a high concentration of quality natural botanicals while keeping harsh chemicals to a minimum. A unique alpha hydroxy acid solution that gently dissolves dead surface cells and debris while simultaneously conditioning and toning skin. Lactic Acid is used as a non-irritating, and naturally hydrating AHA substance. The use of lactic acid rather than the more publicized glycolic acid, is a safer, more effective alternative. Unlike glycolic acid, lactic acid produces no side effects when used in the lower percentages (5-7%) recommended by skin experts for safe daily use. This unique product also nourishes, softens and refines skin texture. The lactic acid is a natural humectant drawing moisture from the air to hydrate the skin's surface. (Cleopatra was known to bathe in lactic acid from soured milk to keep her skin soft and youthful.
