Formulation Deep Dive
ExfoliKate Intensive Exfoliating Treatment by Kate Somerville is a dual-action resurfacing treatment designed to provide immediate chemical and physical exfoliation. The carrier system is a sophisticated emulsion utilizing Silica for mechanical micro-dermabrasion, supported by Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil and Cetearyl Alcohol to provide emolliency and buffer the intensive acid profile. The active performance is driven by a synergistic blend of Lactic Acid (AHA) and Salicylic Acid (BHA) for multi-depth keratolytic action, complemented by Bromelain and Papain (enzymes) to enzymatically digest dead skin cells. The formulation is stabilized with a robust emulsification system including Ceteareth-20 and Glyceryl Stearate, and preserved using a broad-spectrum system featuring Phenoxyethanol and Sorbic Acid.
