Multiple Fruit Extracts: 

A unique blend of Pomegranate, Starfruit, Passionfruit, Kiwi, Mangosteen, Pineapple, Lychee, Indian Jujube and Guava extracts. During the extraction process, Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) and proteases are naturally isolated from the fruits. These components are capable of gently, yet effectively exfoliating the skin to deliver instant softening properties. AHAs are understood to loosen dead cell attachments and reduce cell cohesion at the lower level of the skin to promote cellular renewal. As new skin cells generate, older cells slough off to reveal a smoother looking skin. Factors such as sun damage, age and environmental stress cause this process to slow which results in the accumulation of dead skin cells. The use of AHAs can combat this problem by breaking bonds to increase cellular renewal.
