ALPHA GRAPEFRUIT CLEANSING LOTION

The Botani Alpha Grapefruit Cleansing Lotion is a gentle, creamy cleanser from the Australian skincare brand Botani, which is known for its focus on organic, natural, and plant-based ingredients. It is designed to effectively cleanse the skin while also providing mild exfoliation for a brighter and smoother complexion.¹

Key Features and Ingredients

The cleanser's "dual-action" formula is built on a blend of natural cleansers and gentle exfoliating acids:

• Grapefruit Peel Oil: This is a key ingredient for its purifying and astringent properties.² It helps to clarify the skin, remove excess oil, and gives the cleanser a fresh, invigorating scent.

   

• Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs): The cleanser contains a small, effective concentration of AHAs, likely derived from fruit extracts.³ These gentle acids work by helping to dissolve the bonds holding dead skin cells to the skin's surface.⁴ This mild chemical exfoliation helps to:

   

  • Improve Texture: It refines the skin's texture, making it feel smoother and softer.

  • Brighten Complexion: By shedding dull, dead skin cells, it helps to reveal a brighter and more even skin tone.⁵

     

• Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract: This botanical extract is a powerful antioxidant that helps to protect the skin from environmental stressors and free radical damage.⁶

   

• Calendula Officinalis (Marigold) Flower Extract: This ingredient is known for its soothing and calming properties, which help to balance the exfoliating effect and make the cleanser suitable for more sensitive skin types.⁷

   

• All-Natural and Vegan: Like other Botani products, this cleanser is made with plant-based ingredients and is free from parabens, mineral oils, synthetic fragrances, and other harsh chemicals.

How to Use

The Alpha Grapefruit Cleansing Lotion can be used as part of a morning or evening skincare routine.

1. Dampen Skin: Apply a small amount of the lotion to a damp face.

2. Massage: Gently massage it into your skin using circular motions, allowing the product to break down makeup and impurities.

3. Rinse: Rinse the cleanser off thoroughly with warm water.

Who It's For

The cleanser is formulated to be suitable for most skin types, especially normal, combination, and oily skin. Its gentle exfoliating properties make it an excellent choice for those who want a cleanser that helps to address dullness, uneven texture, and minor congestion without over-stripping the skin.
