Overview

What it is

This product is a face scrub formulated with salicylic acid and crushed walnut shell powder. It is designed to cleanse the skin and exfoliate the surface, aiming to refine the appearance of the skin's texture.

Key ingredients and their functions

Salicylic Acid - exfoliant
Juglans Regia (Walnut) Shell Powder - exfoliating agent
Glycol Stearate SE - emulsifying agent
Glycerin - humectant
Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate - cleansing agent
Zea Mays (Corn) Kernel Meal - abrasive agent
Cocamidopropyl Betaine - foaming agent
Prunus Armeniaca (Apricot) Fruit Extract - skin conditioning agent

How it works

The face scrub incorporates salicylic acid, which functions as an exfoliant to help clean the skin surface. Crushed walnut shell powder contributes to exfoliation by physically scrubbing away dead skin cells, providing a more refined texture. Ingredients like glycol stearate SE and cocamidopropyl betaine assist in creating a creamy and foamy texture for better application, while glycerin helps to keep the skin hydrated. Zea mays (corn) kernel meal acts as an abrasive agent, enhancing the exfoliation process. Prunus armeniaca (apricot) fruit extract may condition the skin, contributing to an overall improvement in appearance and feel.
