We use high concentrations of salicylic acid – a powerful anti-bacterial agent – to correct this concern.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTHE ACTIVES\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSalicylic Acid (2%):\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSalicylic acid is a beta-hydroxy acid (BHA). Its keratolytic (peeling) and exfoliating effects help promote desquamation – the elimination of dead skin. This makes it ideal for oily skin, acne-prone skin, skin with imperfections, as well as smooth fine lines and wrinkles.\nSalicylic acid is also known to limit the development of harmful microorganisms, making it an effective ingredient for cleaning and purifying the surface layers of the skin. It also helps prevent the appearance of blackheads and the clogging of pores.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA molecule extracted from plants, salicylic acid was first extracted from willow bark in 1829 by a French pharmacist named Pierre-Joseph Leroux. Salicylic acid is naturally present in several plants, particularly meadowsweet and willow, from which it takes its name.\nThe common aspirin pill is actually a synthetic derivative of salicylic acid (acetyl-salicylic acid). It was first manufactured in 1853 by the chemist C.F. Gerhardt.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eZinc (1%):\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDerived from beetroot, zinc is ideal for oily skin and significantly reduces sebum (oil) secretion.\nCoupled with L-Pyrrolidone Carboxylic Acid, zinc promotes cell differentiation and strengthens the skin's barrier function to protect from future flare-ups.\nA trace element naturally present in the body, zinc is an essential part of many of the body's enzymatic mechanisms from the metabolism of food, supporting our natural defences and the renewal of tissues.\nFinally, zinc is also known to limit the development of microorganisms that cause many skin imbalances.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFULL INGREDIENTS LIST\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003eAqua (Water), Propanediol, Salicylic Acid, Zinc PCA, Sodium Hydroxide, 1,2-Hexanediol, Caprylyl Glycol, Xanthan Gum, Carrageenan, Citric Acid, Tropolone\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe regularly update the lists of ingredients used in the composition of our products.
