Product Summary
Ingredient callouts
- This product contains acids (lactic acid 1.50% - 1.90%). Their concentration is low, and they will not have a strong exfoliating effect. Instead, they work to support the skin natural acid mantle and to attract water (as humectants). Lactic acid is particularly good in attracting water to the upper layer of the skin and improving the skin barrier.

Does not contain the most effective ingredients for moisturization. The humectants (glucose, propylene glycol) can help attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Keep in mind though that this product lacks emollients that can reduce the moisture loss over time. You might want to use a separate product emollients and occlusives like dimethicone, oils, or butters on top.
Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Could be helpful in restoring the skin barrier function
Helps oil and water mix together and can enhance the penetration of other ingredients into the skin. It can be irritating
An exfoliating and moisturizing alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA). Typically causes less irritation than other AHAs, for example, glycolic acid. At high concentrations (about 15%), lactic acid can help reduce lines and wrinkles. Recent studies show that lactic acid can support the "good" bacteria living on skin's surface (healthy skin microbiome)

Potential irritants
Works as a foaming cleansing agent
Helps water and oil mix together. Used as a cleansing ingredient. Could be an allergen
Oil of a very fragrant pink rose used as fragrance in cosmetics. Extensive research has shown it has mixed benefits. In the pro column, inhaling this flower’s scent seems to have relaxing properties and the plant’s petals contain skin-soothing and antioxidant compounds that can benefit skin. On the flipside, the numerous chemicals that create this rose’s distinctive fragrance pose a risk of causing skin aggravation.
