Formulation view Exfoliating micro-gel with perlite abrasive and multiple AHAs. Decyl glucoside cleanses; charcoal adsorbs. Fruit extracts offer antioxidants. Carbomer gel base with propylene glycol. Preserved with phenoxyethanol. Formulators note combined physical and chemical exfoliation is strong; suitable for thick calluses, avoid for sensitive skin. Monitor total AHA concentration and pH to prevent over-exfoliation; fragrance may increase irritation.

Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Decyl Glucoside
- Mild alkyl glucoside, biodegradable; foam stabilizer, thickens with fatty alcohols, low allergenicity.
- Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate
- Mild anionic surfactant, boosts foam/cleaning; low irritancy, common in wash formulations
- Perlite
- Inorganic porous material used as an absorbent and bulking agent; avoid dust inhalation.
- Carbomer
- Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility
- Mannitol
- Polyol humectant with binding/skin conditioning properties; high levels may cause osmotic irritation
- Charcoal Powder
- Charcoal; adsorbs impurities/oil for cleansers, provides opacity, can be drying or matte.
- Citrus Grandis Fruit Extract
- Pomelo extract with astringent and skin-conditioning properties; contains phototoxic citrus components, assess risk for daytime use.
- Fragaria Vesca Fruit Extract
- Strawberry fruit extract; botanical astringent and conditioner, low concentration, offers antioxidant and soothing.
- Mangifera Indica Fruit Extract
- Moisturizing and antioxidant; rich in VC and polyphenols, gentle and non-irritating
- Passiflora Incarnata Fruit Extract
- Passion fruit extract; claimed for skin conditioning/protection; botanical extract requiring screening for impurities.
- Prunus Armeniaca Fruit Extract
- Fruit extract rich in vitamins and enzymes for skin conditioning; prone to discoloration at high pH, add antioxidants
- Prunus Persica Fruit Extract
- Peach fruit extract with fruit acids and fibers; used as mild physical exfoliant and moisturizer
- Psidium Guajava Fruit Extract
- Botanical extract with astringent and skin conditioning properties
- Rubus Idaeus Fruit Extract
- Raspberry fruit extract with astringent and keratolytic properties; exfoliating, may irritate at high levels
- Mandelic Acid
- Alpha-hydroxy acid for exfoliation and antibacterial effects; mild penetration, less photosensitivity than other AHAs
- Lactic Acid
- AHA pH adjuster at 0.5-5%; exfoliation/humectancy, mild at low conc., irritating at high, avoid conflict with alkaline preservatives.
- Glycolic Acid
- Glycolic acid for exfoliation; requires buffering at concentrations >10%, avoid combination with other acids.
- Cellulose
- Plant-derived thickener at 0.1–1%; requires full hydration, poor cationic compatibility
- Propylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
- Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin
- Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose
- High polymer for thickening and film formation; water-soluble, used in physical sunscreens or gels, tacky at high levels
- Tetrasodium Glutamate Diacetate
- Gluconate diacetate tetrasodium chelator; replaces EDTA, improves stability against metals
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Parfum
- Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.
