10% Phytic Peel is produced by Cocos, a Ukraine-based brand of natural cosmetics and household chemicals, for safe and effective at-home chemical skin peeling. It gently removes dead cells from the skin surface, makes it soft and smooth, helps to restore the skin’s natural protection from the environment, and stimulates collagen and elastin synthesis, slowing down the ageing process. pH 3.5.
As you may have guessed from the name, the key active ingredient of this chemical peel is phytic acid, also known as inositol hexakisphosphate or inositol polyphosphate. Although it is not a hydroxy acid, it has a similar exfoliating effect. Since its molecules are larger than the molecules of hydroxy acids, phytic acid ensures more delicate cleansing, which makes it perfect for dry, sensitive, and teenage skin.
Unlike most other chemical peels, phytic peel doesn’t increase the skin’s sensitivity to UV rays, which means that you can use it even in summer. Besides, it is highly unlikely to irritate the skin or cause redness, and it takes the skin less time to recuperate after this type of chemical peel.
