Ingredients for Exfoliation (Dead Skin Cell Removal)

Ingredients that help exfoliate or remove dead skin cells (colloquially referred to as "ขี้ไคล") fall into two main categories: Physical Exfoliants and Chemical/Enzymatic Exfoliants.

1. Physical Exfoliants

These ingredients are typically powders or small beads that physically scrub away dead skin cells. Examples include:

• Magnetite Scrub / Exfoliator: Scrub beads made from the mineral magnetite, used for skin exfoliation.
• Sugarcane Scrub: Scrub powder derived from sugarcane, available in various mesh sizes for different levels of exfoliation suitable for face or body.
• Hydrated Silica Scrub: Exfoliating powder from Hydrated Silica. It is a fine and generally gentler abrasive compared to some natural scrub powders, also available in different mesh sizes.
• CelluScrub™ Max: Scrub powder from natural cellulose, offering high exfoliation efficiency.

2. Chemical/Enzymatic Exfoliants

These ingredients work by breaking down the bonds between dead skin cells, allowing them to shed more easily without physical scrubbing. Examples include:

• FruitPeel™: Extracts from fruit peels (olive, mango, banana) that gently exfoliate the skin.
• Bio-S Protease™: A natural protease enzyme that helps break down proteins (like keratin in dead skin cells) to aid in exfoliation.
• Malt-Exfo™ (Maltobionic acid, Polyhydroxy acid): Maltobionic acid is a PHA (Polyhydroxy acid), a type of exfoliating acid known for being gentle, which helps in skin exfoliation and provides hydration.

The choice of ingredient depends on skin type and desired effect. If a noticeable scrubbing sensation is preferred, Physical Exfoliants can be used. For a gentler exfoliation, Chemical/Enzymatic Exfoliants might be more suitable.
