Formulation Deep Dive
Moon Juice Acid Potion is a high-potency, water-based chemical exfoliator designed to accelerate cellular turnover and resurface the epidermal layer. The carrier system utilizes a high concentration of Propanediol and Glycerin for multi-depth humectancy, paired with Glycereth-7 Trimethyl Ether, a specialized ether that enhances the solubility of salicylic acid in alcohol-free aqueous systems while providing a silky, non-tacky finish. The active strategy centers on a 25% AHA/BHA complex, utilizing Glycolic Acid and Lactic Acid for superficial desquamation alongside Salicylic Acid to penetrate lipid-rich pores and dissolve follicular debris. This intensive acid profile is technically balanced by Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) and Allantoin to fortify the skin barrier and mitigate potential inflammatory responses. The formulation is pH-adjusted using Sodium Hydroxide for optimal acid efficacy and utilizes a clean-label preservation system featuring Lonicera Japonica (Honeysuckle) Flower Extract and Lonicera Caprifolium (Honeysuckle) Flower Extract for microbial stability.
