What Is Sugarcane Extract?
Sugarcane extract is the natural source of glycolic acid, the smallest and most penetrating alpha hydroxy acid. The extract provides gentle exfoliation along with natural plant-derived moisturising factors.
Unlike pure glycolic acid, sugarcane extract contains additional beneficial compounds including natural sugars that provide hydration. This can make it gentler while still offering effective exfoliation.
The extract helps remove dead skin cells, improve texture, and enhance the absorption of other skincare ingredients.
