The Exfoliant I solution is designed to loosen dead skin cells immediately upon contact.
The Exfoliant I solution is titrated as an alkaline solution and is formulated with a pH of approximately 8.3. Enhancement of the stratum is the first step in the exfoliation process and begins to take place immediately upon initial contact of the Exfoliant I solution. As the solution begins to dissipate throughout the cellular parenchyma of the skin, the strato-cornico response is reactive and stimulatory.
The ingredients in Exfoliant I solution work together to reduce the skin’s natural barrier known as the acid mantle. First, the enzymatic activity of natural papain and coconut acids dissolve keratinized cells. Next, as a result of the use of a high pH, alkaline solution (Exfoliant I), followed by a low pH, acidic solution (Exfoliant II), the skin attempts to return to its normal pH balance. This leaves the epidermis in a semi-permeable state.
