Micellar water with fruit acids

Malic acid products have a number of beneficial properties for the skin, contributing to:

1. Moisturizing the skin
2. Exfoliate or remove dead skin cells
3. Improving smoothness and improving skin tone
4. Reduction of expression wrinkles

It leads to uniform and controlled exfoliation of dead skin cells, which predetermine such defects as unevenness, dull gray color and prevent the penetration of active ingredients from cosmetics for care.

The keratolytic effect of lactic acid activates the renewal process of the epidermis, thereby rejuvenating the skin. The use of this component for cosmetic purposes also contributes to the leveling of the surface relief of the skin and smoothing out fine mimic wrinkles. The rejuvenating and lifting effect of lactic acid is associated with its ability to stimulate the formation of new skin cells and fibroblasts - cells of the papillary dermis responsible for the production of collagen and elastane.

Lactic acid has a positive effect on the synthesis of other molecules important for skin health - mucopolysaccharides (glycosaminoglycans). Lactic acid is also able to bind water molecules and has a pronounced moisturizing effect, as it is one of the components of the natural moisturizing factor (NMF).

Thus, lactic acid comprehensively helps to improve the elasticity and turgor of the skin - firstly, by increasing the moisture content in it (that is, as a humectant), and secondly, by strengthening collagen and elastin.

The antioxidant properties of lactic acid only enhance the rejuvenating effect of this substance: by reducing the production of free radicals (superoxides and hydroxyls), lactic acid protects the skin from aggressive environmental factors and lifestyle.

This ingredient is also irreplaceable for problems with oily skin prone to inflammation and acne formation: lactic acid has a sebum-regulating effect and helps to "unblock" pores from white and black comedones. Along the way, it exhibits bactericidal and anti-inflammatory properties.

In addition, lactic acid is valued for its effective whitening effect, which also manifests itself in two ways - not only due to exfoliation of the surface cells of the epidermis, but also due to its special biochemical properties. The fact is that this substance contributes to a more even distribution of melanin in the epidermis, and also slows down the synthesis of tyrosinase, an enzyme that increases the production of this pigment.

Along with other AHAs, it actively renews the skin by triggering the process of exfoliating cells (exfoliation). However, it is glycolic acid that has a couple of features that distinguish it favorably from its colleagues in the AHA group:

• low molecular weight;
• low acidity.

This win-win combination allows glycolic acid to penetrate the skin unhindered and instantly trigger a response. Glycolic acid provides:

• Optimal care for oily and problem skin;
• Help with acne treatment;
• Promotes the correction of post-acne scars;
• Ideal care for aging skin;
• Excellent skin lightening and tone leveling;

Ferulic acid protects not only plants from wilting, but also our skin.

It is an antioxidant that can kill several different types of free radicals at once. It is a polyphenolic compound that has an anti-inflammatory and moderate bleaching effect (tyrosinase inhibitor).

Ferulic acid is also used in clay for washing as a direct antioxidant and as a substance that absorbs ultraviolet waves.

Several studies have shown that exposure to ultraviolet light actually only increases the antioxidant activity of ferulic acid. One study also found that ferulic acid is a more effective antioxidant than alpha-tocopherol (vitamin E), beta-carotene, and various ascorbic acid metabolites.

Ferulic acid is used in the product for:

1. To prevent the appearance of wrinkles and other signs of photo- and chronological aging
2. For exfoliation
3. To prevent photodamage of the skin
4. To reduce pigmentation on the skin

As part of mycelial water, chamomile hydrolate plays a key role and is responsible for:

• Powerful anti-inflammatory effect.
• Possesses antiseptic, regenerating and healing properties.
• Helps relieve irritation and redness of the skin, especially prone to allergic reactions.
• It has a cleansing, softening and soothing effect on itching.
• It has a particularly noticeable effect on dry and sensitive skin.
• Recommended as an active additive in products for combating skin diseases - dermatitis, acne, rosacea, psoriasis, eczema, urticaria.

This active ingredient cools and tones, strengthens the delicate skin of the face, neck, décolleté, improves skin color. Hydrolat is used to relieve redness, swelling, and reduce wrinkles around the eyes.
