Our Gly-Acid Blend features glycolic acid as well as other AHAs, BHAs, and PHAs, known for their ability to exfoliate the skin.

To complement our exfoliating blend, we've enriched our formula with potent botanical extracts such as beet root, blue agave, and betaine that soothe the scalp and ensure the scalp remains nourished, balanced, and healthy.
