All About Natural AHAs
Natural AHAs are water-soluble acids made from sugary fruits. They dissolve dead skin cells and impurities to produce a radiant brightening effect. Their ultra-gentle exfoliating action helps to decrease discoloration, hydrate the complexion, and boost cellular turnover. Unlike physical exfoliants, AHAs are gentle on the skin, and even sensitive skin types are encouraged to use them.
Prism Exfoliating Glow Serum contains a 12% blend of fruit extracts that are naturally rich in exfoliating and effective AHAs. These come in addition to a 3% concentration of willow bark extract, a natural alternative to BHAs, which go even deeper to exfoliate even more powerfully. Though powerful, these ingredients are gentle to sensitive skin and can be used day or night without concern.
Here’s a breakdown of the Prism Exfoliating Glow Serum’s AHA mix:
- Vaccinium Myrtillus (Bilberry) Fruit/Leaf Extract: Bilberry has been found to contain a high concentration of vegan Lactic Acid, an AHA known for gently exfoliating with hydrating skin for minimal irritation. It is ideal for addressing sensitive and mature skin concerns. Bilberry is an astringent botanical that improves the tone of your skin and the power of your glow.
- Saccharum Ocinarum (Sugarcane) Extract: Sugarcane is a naturally abundant source of glycolic acid, the smallest AHA molecule, celebrated for its ability to effectively remove dead skin cells. It also acts as an anti-inflammatory, which helps to slow the effects of aging.
- Acer Saccharum (Sugar Maple) Extract: Sugar Maple contains both Malic and Tartaric Acids, both larger AHA molecules that work alongside the smaller AHAs for multi-leveled exfoliation.
