Chemist At Play Exfoliating Body Wash – 236ML (2% Lactic Acid + 2% Zemea + 0.5% Vitamin E)

Description

The Chemist At Play Exfoliating Body Wash (236ML) is a targeted body cleanser formulated to gently exfoliate, smooth rough and bumpy skin, and improve overall skin texture and tone. It’s designed to be effective yet gentle, focusing on providing a revitalized and radiant skin feel.

Key Features and Ingredients:

• 2% Lactic Acid (AHA): A gentle Alpha Hydroxy Acid that provides chemical exfoliation. Lactic acid works by dissolving the bonds between dead skin cells, allowing them to shed more easily. This helps to:
  • Smooth rough and bumpy skin: Addresses concerns like keratosis pilaris (“chicken skin”) by preventing dead skin cell buildup.
  • Even out skin tone: Helps to reduce the appearance of dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and dullness on the body.
  • Moisturize: Lactic acid is also a humectant, meaning it helps to draw and retain moisture in the skin, preventing dryness often associated with exfoliants.
• 2% Zemea (Propanediol): A highly effective humectant (moisturizer) that works synergistically with Lactic Acid and Vitamin E. Zemea helps to draw and lock in moisture into the skin, ensuring that the body wash cleanses without stripping away essential hydration. It contributes to a soft, supple feel after showering.
• 0.5% Vitamin E (Tocopheryl Acetate): A powerful antioxidant that helps protect the skin from environmental damage caused by free radicals. It also supports skin repair and provides additional moisturizing benefits, contributing to healthy and nourished skin.
• Ceramides: As a ceramides-based skincare brand, Chemist At Play incorporates ceramides into this body wash. Ceramides are essential lipids that form a crucial part of the skin’s natural barrier. They help to:
  • Repair and strengthen the skin barrier: Reducing moisture loss and protecting against external irritants.
  • Ensure intense hydration: By effectively locking in moisture.
  • Improve efficacy of other actives: Help the other beneficial ingredients work more effectively.
• Gentle Exfoliating Scrub (often with Murumuru Butter granules): While primarily a chemical exfoliant, some versions or older formulations of this body wash may contain very fine physical exfoliating particles (like rice bioscrub or Astrocaryum Murumuru Bioscrub). These tiny granules gently melt with body heat as you rub, aiding in the physical removal of dead skin cells without harshness.
• Sulfate-Free Cleansing: Formulated with mild surfactants (like Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Sodium Lauroyl Methyl Isethionate) that cleanse effectively without stripping the skin’s natural moisture barrier, preventing dryness and irritation.
• Vegan & Cruelty-Free: Aligns with clean beauty standards, free from animal-derived ingredients and animal testing.
• Free From Harmful Chemicals: It is silicone-free, paraben-free, gluten-free, mineral oil-free, and dye-free, minimizing potential irritants.
• Dermatologically Tested: Indicates the product has undergone testing under dermatological supervision for safety and efficacy.

Benefits:

• Smoothes Rough & Bumpy Skin: Effectively reduces the appearance of rough texture, making the skin incredibly soft and velvety.
• Removes Dead & Dull Skin: Gently exfoliates to reveal fresher, brighter skin underneath, combating dullness and promoting radiance.
• Evens Skin Tone: Helps to fade pigmentation, dark spots, and tan, leading to a more uniform and even complexion.
• Intensely Hydrates: Provides deep and lasting moisture, preventing dryness and leaving the skin feeling supple and comfortable.
• Strengthens Skin Barrier: Ceramides work to fortify the skin’s protective barrier, improving its resilience and ability to retain moisture.
• Suitable for All Skin Types: Especially beneficial for those with bumpy texture, dry, or dull skin, but its gentle nature makes it suitable for sensitive skin too.
• Lathers Well: Creates a rich lather for a luxurious and effective cleansing experience.
