Lac-Hydrin:

Lac-Hydrin is an alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) found in fruits, sour milk and sugar cane. AHAs, often called fruit acids, help peel off dead skin cells by dissolving ceramides, which are substances that hold the cells together. Clearing dead cells off the surface of the skin reveals the plump, living cells underneath and contributes to a younger appearance. Dermatologists use strong concentrations of AHAs for face peels.

Lac-Hydrin also increases the thickness of the outermost layer of living skin cells (the epidermis), increasing the skin's ability to hold moisture and thus smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles. The additional benefit is that it doesn’t have sensitivity to sunlight. It was found to reduce fine wrinkles in a study by 90% in persons who used it twice a day for six months.

Mentha Piperita:

It is useful for refreshing and toning the skin.

Myrrh Extract:

Diluted myrrh extract is a good skin conditioner.

Neem Or Indian Margossa Tree:

The bark possesses astringent, toner, antiseptic and blood purifying properties. So it is good for external and internal use.

Pineapple:

Pineapple has AHA in husk and that has the ability to remove corn if kept on skin for long time. So the husk and fruit core is liquefied and blended to form a mash that can be applied as an exfoliant.

Purslane (Portulaca oleracea):

Fresh purslane is a good antioxidant for internal use and a good soothing mask for external use.

Pumpkin is a fruit acid enzyme, an exfoliation accelerator and a powerful antioxidant. Fermented, unfiltered pumpkin offers over 100 nutrients.

Rosemary:
