Strawberries are a rich source of vitamin C, antioxidants, and naturally occurring salicylic acid, a beta-hydroxy acid (BHA). BHA's help loosen dead skin cells, allowing new, healthy cells to come to the skin's surface. Because BHAs are oil soluble, they penetrate pores more effectively than water soluble alpha-hydroxy acids. People with known salicylic acid sensitivities should avoid BHA's, and rely on AHA's instead. Drum dried, preservative free, reddish pink powder without seeds. Rejuvenate your skin with this Strawberries & Cream Facial formula.
