Functions
Energizing agent
Exfoliator
It promotes the breakdown of fat; thus, it's an excellent skin energizer. It accelerates the fat-burning process, boosting energy production by burning the body's fat reserves. It is involved in the transfer of fatty acids through the mitochondria membrane for a process called betta-oxidation, resulting in ATP (cellular energy molecules) production.
It is also a betta-hydroxy acid (BHA) that exfoliates old cells, modulates sebum secretion of oily skin, and mitigates UV tissue damage.

Barley contains a large variety of vitamins, including beta carotene (provitamin A), thiamine (vitamin B1), riboflavin (B2), pyridoxine (B6), cobalamins (B12), pantothenic acid (B5), and folic acid (B₉), which all play an essential role in dermal cells metabolism and necessary for normal functioning.
It is known to help in weight loss and stimulate fat metabolism. Bladderwrack Extract also has a detoxifying effect.
Ceramide AP consists of a Phytosphingosine backbone connected with a long chain of alpha-hydroxy stearic acid (AHA).
Citric Acid is an alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) found in many fruits. It has a polar molecule and able to disrupt the coherence of corneocytes of the epidermis. This process called the chemical peeling type of exfoliation eliminating dull and old cells from the skin surface.
A nourishing, boosting, and energizing complex that stimulates the synthesis of pro-collagen, collagens, tropoelastin, and elastin. Fibro-boost revitalizes skin fibroblasts, promoting elasticity, smoothness, and firmness.
Like other sugars, glucose also captures water molecules enhancing moisture-binging capacity and maintaining skin hydration. In addition, proliferated skin cells like keratinocytes and fibroblasts use it as a fuel converting it into ATP that energizes and stimulates their functions.
Glycolic Acid is a alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) derived from sugar cane. It dissolves and whisks away surface dead skin cells to reveal a brighter, healthier, more vibrant complexion.
Illite is an excellent and safe adsorbent with high abundance and stability. This property allows using formulations to eliminate heavy metals like thallium, lead, six valent chromium, etc.
Malic Acid is one of the alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) found in fruits. It is able to interrupt the attachment of corneocytes of the epidermis and exfoliate dull and old cells from the surface of the skin.
It is a stronger acid than glycolic acid (the most famous AHA used in skincare), but epidermal penetration is lower due to the larger molecule size. Thanks to these properties, mandelic acid is a milder exfoliating agent and does not irritate the skin.
Pyridoxine is one of the forms of Vitamin B6 that acts as a Co-enzyme for cell metabolism.
It can be applied to the skin to carry out a keratolytic action; thus, Subtilisin is an excellent natural substitute for hydroxy acids AHAs, BHAs, and PHAs.
