In-depth look at the active components of the ingredients in the Anti-Acne Active Formula

Acai

INCI: Euterpe oleraca

Acai pulp oil is rich in:

  • Flavonoids
  • Essential Fatty Acid (Oleic Acid) and
  • Phytosterols

These are powerful antioxidants that provide some protection against
environmental damage to the skin, provide action against free radical
damage during the inflammatory process and promote skin benefits such
as moisture retention and regeneration of the skin.

Andiroba

INCI: Carapa guianensis

Andiroba contains:

  • Fatty Acid (Omega 9)
  • Limmonoids

Omega 9 promotes regeneration of the epidermis, maintaining the natural
moisture of the skin. The anti-inflammatory action is promoted by the
Limmonoids found in the unsaponifiable fraction.

Copaiba

INCI: Copaiba officinalis or Copaiba balsam

Copaiba contains:

  • Beta-caryophyllene (sesquiterpene)

Beta-caryophyllene is a natural germicide obtained from the balsam part of the Essential Oil, excellent for preventing infections and inflammations.
