AHA PhytoFruit Mix is a concentrated blend of five botanical extracts: Sugar Cane, Apple, Orange, Lemon, and Camellia. These extracts contain several naturally occurring alpha hydroxy acids. Alpha hydroxyl acids have been shown to promote younger, smoother looking skin by increasing the rate of skin cell renewal.
AHA PhytoFruit Mix is recommended for balancing and toning most skin types. It can be particularly useful in anti-aging formulas and formulas for acne or other skin disorders.
We recommend the use of a pH meter when formulating to ensure the finished product pH is no lower than 3.5 - 4.
Avoid UVA/UVB exposure when using products that contain AHAs or BHAs.
Please read the FDA Guidelines for using AHAs and BHAs in cosmetics:
