Formulation Deep Dive

First Aid Beauty KP Bump Eraser Body Scrub 10% AHA is a dual-action resurfacing treatment engineered to address keratosis pilaris and uneven skin texture through integrated chemical and physical exfoliation. The formulation utilizes a structured cream base characterized by a blend of Pumice, Water, and Stearic Acid, providing a high-viscosity carrier for mechanical buffing agents while Glycerin and Sorbitol maintain epidermal hydration during the exfoliation process. The active performance is driven by a 10% concentration of Glycolic Acid and Lactic Acid (Alpha Hydroxy Acids) which work synergistically to dissolve desmosomal bonds in the stratum corneum, supported by Salix Nigra (Willow) Bark Extract for pore decongestion and Colloidal Oatmeal to mitigate potential irritation. The system is stabilized using a blend of Cetearyl Alcohol and Steareth-ethoxylates, with formula integrity maintained through a multi-faceted preservation strategy featuring Phenoxyethanol, Potassium Sorbate, and Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate.

Phenoxyethanol GOOD
A broad-spectrum cosmetic preservative that protects water-containing formulas against bacteria, yeast and mold.
Preservative
Potassium Sorbate GOOD
Functions as a preservative (antimicrobial), protecting water-containing formulations primarily against yeasts and molds, with weaker activity against bacteria. Its activity is pH-dependent and strongest in acidic systems (effective below roughly pH 6, optimal near pH 4.4), so it is used in low-pH products and is commonly paired with a second preservative such as sodium benzoate for broad-spectrum coverage.
Preservative
Sodium Benzoate GOOD
Functions as a preservative (antimicrobial), protecting water-containing formulations from yeast, mold, and bacterial spoilage. Its activity is pH-dependent and strongest in acidic systems (optimal below roughly pH 5), so it is used in low-pH products and frequently paired with potassium sorbate for broader, more robust preservation.
Preservative
Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate GOOD
A naturally derived, fermentation-based antimicrobial used for clean-beauty preservation.
Preservative
EDTA NOT RATED
