ACIDS
Alpha-Hydroxy Acids (AHA's), the naturally occurring weak fruit and food acids, have been an exiting development in the skin care industry. They show excellent results in improving the collagen creation and the exfoliation of epidermis dead cells. The AHA's include glycolic, lactic, citric, malic and tartaric acids. Glycolic acid is present in sugar cane, lactic acid in sour milk, citric acid in fruits, malic acid in apples, and tartaric acid in grapes. Use and effectiveness of these acids was well known by ancient and folk medicine. Ancient youth remedies such as milk baths to smooth the skin or stale wine application to the face to diminish the wrinkles are well described.
The widely used glycolic acid has the smallest molecular size of any of the AHA's and is believed to have the best penetration ability into the skin.
Our products with alpha hydroxy acids also incorporate another important development in modern skin care. Use of atomized oxygen as a penetrative vehicle for Vitamin A Palmitate. Once the Vitamin A Palmitate penetrates the skin, it is converted to weak retinoic acid by the body's natural biochemical processes. This conversion is well documented by Hoffman-LaRoche in Switzerland, which manufactures the retinoic acid-ingredient used to make Retin-A creams.
This group of products containing alpha-hydroxy acids does not replace our home care regimen or the monthly salon visits. It complements our existing extensive product line, and makes it more complete and competitive. We are confident you will benefit from the excellent quality and efficacy of these products and our competitive prices
