Composition

KEY INGREDIENTS
COMBINATION OF TWO SURFACTANTS
OF A NEW GENERATION DERIVED
AMINO ACID
Ensures effective cleansing with minimal
impact on the skin’s barrier function.
• Surfactant system comprising sodium lauroyl
glutamate and sodium cocoyl glycinate: these are
two anionic surfactants of
amino acids. They act synergistically
to produce a fine, stable lather
contact with water, providing
cleansing action without disrupting the skin’s barrier function. Both
respect the skin’s physiological pH and
leave the skin feeling soft and
comfort after washing, even on
sensitive and reactive skin.
DUAL ENZYMATIC ACTION
PAPAIN-BROMELAIN
Provides selective, non-mechanical exfoliation,
enhanced by glucose as an activator.
• Dual-action enzymatic system of papain
and bromelain: these are two proteolytic enzymes
of plant origin – extracted
from papaya (Carica papaya) and
pineapple (Ananas comosus) – which act in
complementary and synergistic ways. Both
selectively hydrolyse the
denatured proteins that bind the corneocytes
in the stratum corneum, facilitating their removal
without mechanical friction. The result is a
gentle, even and non-abrasive exfoliation
that preserves viable cells. The glucose
in the formula acts as an activator
for both enzymes, optimising their
stability and efficacy at the time of use.
WHITE CLAY (KAOLIN) OF
MINERAL ORIGIN
Its physical absorption capacity helps to
capture and remove impurities lodged within the
pores, promoting deep cleansing
without being harsh. It leaves the skin feeling soft.

Directions for use

Place a small amount of powder in the palm of
your hand, add water and work into a lather. Apply to the face
using circular movements and rinse thoroughly with
warm water.
▪ Daily use: preferably use as the second step in your
evening cleansing routine, once a day.
▪ Use as a gentle exfoliant twice a week: avoid
contact with the eyes. It can also be used as a
body exfoliant 1–2 times a week on damp skin.
