What is Salicylic acid?

Nature’s remedy for clear skin

It’s sounds so science-y, but this awesome spot-buster is actually found in plants. Salicylic Acid has been known about and used for thousands of years, sourced first from the bark of willow trees. Did you know it’s also an important part of aspirin?

How does it work?

We use Salicylic Acid in all our Purifying spot and oil control products. It treats problems in three ways

1. Naturally removes the top layer of cells to reduce spots and open up pores

2. Anti-septic action to help get rid of bacteria that causes pus

3. Calms and helps reduce inflammation and redness

Of course, we also add our Bio-Active Rooibos and Baobab extracts to help protect, soothe and reduce excess oiliness in your skin.
