Actives
Cellulose Acetate, is an organic carbohydrate found in plant cell walls. Cellulose has moisturising properties and acts as an emulsifier, helping other nutrients to penetrate the dermis. Cellulose is neither water or oil-soluble, making it a wonderful, gentle alternative to harsh physical exfoliants. The soft cellulose compounds clump together as you rub the product into your skin, helping to dislodge and remove dead skin cells and impurities.
Natural AHAs, are derived from Strawberry and Lime extracts, and work to exfoliate the skin to reveal a visibly brighter and smoother complexion. They work by loosening the inter-cellular fluid (gel-like substance that binds skin cells), allowing the top layer of dead skin cells to slough away easily. The exfoliant properties of natural AHAs also assist with lessening the appearance of pigmentation that has built up in surface skin, as well as dissolving impurities that may be clogging pores.
AHAs also promote skin cell renewal, causing cells to become denser and more compact, helping to prevent damage and irritation from external stressors. This also helps to prevent moisture loss and promotes a more supple and plump complexion. By encouraging skin cell turnover, AHAs help to reduce the appearance of scars, pigmentation and sun spots.
Rice Enzymes, are the key natural exfoliant in this gentle exfoliator! Used for centuries in Asian tradition to cleanse the skin, Exfoliating Rice Powder effectively exfoliates the skin without causing irritation. The chemical structure of rice enzymes is similar to the ceramides (fat) in your skin, helping to store moisture and encourage collagen production. Perfect for sensitive and combination skin types, Rice Enzymes smooth and slough away dead skin cells, leaving a flawless and radiant complexion behind.

Botanicals
Desert Lime Extract, is an extract native to Australia that contains an abundance of tiny pearls of potent actives (glycosides and coumarins) which work to support collagen production, improve skin hydration by binding onto water molecules and assist the absorption of the other vital antioxidants in the formula.
Gingko Biloba Extract, is a soothing herb which provides a burst of potent antioxidants. Gingko Biloba increases blood flow to the skin, helping to restore a youthful, radiant appearance by getting rid of dead skin cells and increasing skin elasticity. It contains antioxidants quercetin and kaempferol, which help fight free radicals and prevent signs of early ageing. Ginkgo Biloba is also used to reduce hyperpigmentation due to its abundance in the enzyme tyrosinase, which is responsible for the development of pigmentation in the skin. Ginkgo has also been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties, which may be beneficial in reducing acne, scars, rosacea and eczema.
Wattleseed, comes from the Acacia tree native to Australia, and has anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that nourish and protect the skin from oxidative stress. Wattle Seed is extremely potent in Gallic Acid, a compound naturally rich in free radical fighting antioxidants used to prevent the signs of ageing, encouraging elasticity and supple skin. Wattle Seed has a thin molecular consistency which allows it to easily absorb into the skin. Wattle Seed is also used for its cleansing, pore refining and anti-inflammatory properties, as well as its high amino acid content which promotes youthful looking skin.

Does the coconut oil in this product cause irritation or breakouts?
Using coconut oil in our formulas should not cause any breakouts or skin reactions. This is due to the way we blend various oils in our formulas. For instance, the use of Camellia Seed Oil ensures that the coconut oil and other oils penetrate deeply into the skin and do not sit on the skin surface which is what can lead to breakouts.
