It is a first choice active for exfoliating cosmetics because of its particular ability to penetrate the skin. It makes it possible to exfoliate the skin gently, thus increasing the rate of cell renewal and the improvement of the tone and the elasticity of the skin. The skin is smoothed and regains its radiance. In hair care it brings shine to hair.
