Inside the Formula - Coconut Lactic Peel

The Radiance-Reviving Ritual Your Skin’s Been Waiting For

When skin starts to feel a little lackluster—dull, dry, or rough to the touch—it’s often a sign that a fresh layer of healthy, vibrant skin is waiting just beneath the surface. That’s where our Coconut Lactic Peel comes in. This deliciously coco-nutty, 5% sugar-based lactic acid mask works in under 15 minutes to smooth, hydrate, and reveal a more radiant complexion.

Think of it as a gentle yet high-performance polish for your skin. Lactic acid, a plant-derived alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), works by dissolving the bonds between dead skin cells so they can be whisked away—without the harshness of scrubs or stronger peels. At the same time, it infuses hydration deep into the skin, leaving it feeling velvety-soft and comfortably moisturized. The result? Smaller-looking pores, a refined texture, and a natural, healthy glow.

But we didn’t stop there. We paired this gentle exfoliant with a potent botanical blend: Goji berry—one of the most powerful antioxidant-rich superfoods in the world—helps protect skin from oxidative stress, while green tea calms and supports overall skin vitality. Coconut milk, with its lush fatty acids, replenishes your skin’s barrier so hydration stays locked in where it belongs.

And because lactic acid is one of the safest brightening agents for deeper skin tones, you can enjoy a more even, luminous complexion without the worry of irritation or post-inflammatory dark spots.

The Science Behind the Glow

Sugar-Based Lactic Acid – Our lactic acid is produced through the natural fermentation of plant sugars, creating an exceptionally pure and gentle AHA. On a cellular level, it works by loosening the desmosomes—the protein structures that hold dead skin cells together—allowing the outer layer of dull, compacted cells to be shed. This not only smooths texture and brightens tone but also triggers your skin’s natural renewal process. Unique to lactic acid is its humectant nature—it binds water molecules to the skin, hydrating as it exfoliates, unlike harsher acids that can strip moisture away.

Organic Coconut Milk – Naturally rich in medium-chain fatty acids, coconut milk reinforces the skin’s lipid barrier, which is crucial for locking in hydration and protecting against environmental stress. It also contains natural sugars and amino acids that act as humectants, pulling moisture into the skin. Its creamy emulsion soothes inflammation, making it a perfect pairing with lactic acid to ensure your exfoliation experience is deeply hydrating and never harsh.

Goji Berry Extract (Made Fresh in Our Lab) – Our goji berry extract is created in-house to ensure maximum potency and freshness. Goji berries are extraordinarily high on the ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) scale, meaning they have exceptional antioxidant power. They are packed with polysaccharides, amino acids, and vitamins C and E—compounds that help defend skin cells from oxidative damage caused by UV exposure and pollution. In skincare science, this translates to less collagen breakdown, reduced inflammation, and more resilient, youthful-looking skin over time.
