Unlike most drying, chemical-based acne cleansers that increase irritation and dryness, our botanical based cleanser leaves your skin smooth, soft and free of chemical irritation.

Salicylic acid is a beta hydroxy derived from the bark of the willow tree. Its unique molecular structure allows it to work on the skin surface and effectively penetrate and exfoliate within the pore. It creates far less irritation than alpha hydroxy acids, making it a welcome alternative for those with sensitive skin. Glacier Silica was created thousands of years ago by the grinding of crystal matter beneath ancient glaciers into a flour consistency. This finely ground quartz crystal flour is a gentle exfoliating agent to remove debris from the skin surface and deep within the pores themselves.
