What Nature Derma Says
Product Description:
Introducing the Nature Derma 3% AHA BHA Facewash, Exfoliating Foaming Cleanser with 100% Natural Biome Boost TM Solution. Our AHA facewash is a gentle yet effective foaming cleanser that cleans impurities, resurfaces dull, dry skin and fights acne. Our unique formula includes AHA/BHA skin-safe acids that exfoliate dead skin-cells, unblock smaller pores and improve moisture absorption. Grapefruit extracts brighten the skin and reduce blemishes, giving you younger, fresher looking skin. Our revolutionary Natural Biome-Boost TM Solution sourced from Arctium Lappa also known as the Great Burdock Root works on the skin's surface to help maintain a healthy microbiome barrier between your skin and the environment protecting and strengthening your skin. This barrier is further strengthened each time you use the product, thus boosting your skin immunity, improving moisture levels and soothing reactive skin. It is free from sulphates, dyes, parabens, mineral oils, alcohols, fragrances or silicones and dermatologically tested. Use once daily to see visible results. The results depend on the condition of your skin and usage pattern.

Ingredients Details
Aha
Common Name(s): Aha,alpha-hydroxy acid exfoliant,keratolytic active
CAS Number: N/a
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Exfoliates dead skin cells by disrupting desmosomal adhesion bonds, brightens skin tone, stimulates collagen production, and improves product active penetration through the exfoliated sc.
Why It's Used: Aha exfoliation is the most evidence-backed chemical exfoliation mechanism with 30+ years of clinical use data; different acid sizes allow formulators to select penetration depth and intensity for specific skin types.
How It Works: Aha carboxylic groups donate h⁺ disrupting ca²⁺ coordination of desmoglein desmosomal proteins at formulation ph 3–4, weakening corneocyte cohesion. smaller ahas (glycolic, mw 76) penetrate fastest; larger (mandelic, mw 152) penetrate slower for gentler exfoliation.
Typically Found In: Exfoliating toners,aha serums,anti-aging
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Active ingredient – alpha hydroxy acid (aha)
Secondary Functions: Brightening,collagen stimulation
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 1%–15%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes
Halal Status: Yes
Source Notes: Fermentation-derived or synthetic. ph must be ≤4.0 for aha activity.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 2/5 – low to moderate
Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5 – non-comedogenic
Sensitivity Concerns: Photosensitizing – mandatory spf use. start at low frequency.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Use with caution – spf required
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Safe at otc concentrations. eu: ≤10% leave-on at ph ≥3.5. mandatory spf advisory.
Works Well With: Niacinamide,ceramides,hyaluronic acid,spf
Avoid Combining With: Retinol in same step; multiple exfoliants simultaneously
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Glycolic acid is the most clinically studied aha; mandelic and lactic are preferred for sensitive or darker skin types from their larger molecular weight and slower penetration kinetics.

Bha
Common Name(s): Bha
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Delivers targeted skin-conditioning or bioactive benefits through a specific mechanism of action suited to the formulation's intended purpose.
Why It's Used: Specialty actives address specific skin concerns through targeted molecular mechanisms, providing efficacy beyond what base formulation ingredients alone can achieve.
How It Works: The bioactive compound interacts with specific molecular targets in skin cells or the extracellular matrix — enzymes, receptors, structural proteins, or signaling molecules — triggering beneficial biological responses.
Typically Found In: Serums,treatments,moisturizers,specialty products
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Specialty actives
Secondary Functions: Skin-conditioning,anti-aging
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 0.01–5%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes
Halal Status: Yes
Source Notes: Specialty active ingredient; check individual sourcing for vegan status.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1
Comedogenicity Rating: 0
Sensitivity Concerns: Low sensitization potential at recommended use concentrations.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Well-characterized cosmetic ingredient with established safety profile. generally non-irritating at typical use concentrations. suitable for leave-on and rinse-off cosmetics.
Works Well With: Niacinamide,hyaluronic acid,vitamin c,peptides
Avoid Combining With: Incompatible with oxidizing agents; check ph stability
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Specialty actives typically work through enzyme inhibition (e.g., tyrosinase inhibition for brightening, mmp inhibition for anti-aging), receptor activation (e.g., retinoid receptors, ppar-γ for barrier genes), or transcription factor modulation (e.g., nrf2 for antioxidant gene upregulation). structure-activity relationships determine potency and selectivity.
