What some of the ingredients in the product are also used for, if they are contained in medicines.
How Does Vitamin C Work?
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is one of the essential vitamins. It is involved in numerous biological reactions, especially collagen synthesis. A lack of Vitamin C manifests itself on the skin in the form of lichen pilaris, keratosis follicularis, follicular purpura and hyper-pigmentation. Ascorbic acid is added to dermatological externs as an antioxidant.

How Does Babassu Oil Work?
Babassu oil is pressed from the seeds of Babassu palm trees (botanic name: Orbigya oleifera), which grow in South America in the Amazon. It bears nut-like fruit. The seeds of this fruit contain 60 – 70% oil. The natives have been using this oil for centuries as a natural remedy for skin problems. The oil hydrates the skin, thereby preventing the skin from drying out. It contains lauric acid, which has antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects. It also contains antioxidants similar to tocoferol, which has a protective effect on the skin.
