AHA compounds (alpha hydroxy acids). Heals skin
damaged by the sun, normalizes over-thickened
skin, and increases good epidermal thickness.
The aging process of the skin improves with topical
application of AHAs. 99% of AHAs in cosmetics
are synthetic. AHA concentrations less than 3%
are water-binding agents. Greater than 4% in will
exfoliate skin cells.
Salicylic acid: Skin Savers Face Primer
BHA compounds (beta hydroxy acids). Exfoliates
and assists in the healing process as an anti-irritant,
anti-inflammatory and heals skin blemishes.
Aloe Vera Gel: Skin Savers Shower & Shave Body
Wash
Nature's glycol protein and is super effective
in healing wounds while acting as an anti-irritant.
Soothing and refreshing to your skin. This is
great stuff!
Jojoba Oil: Skin Savers WR and MR Rejuvenator
Natural moisturizer. Makes sure the epidermis
(outer layer of skin) is intact. In the skin's
cellular area it prevents skin cells from losing
water.
Alpha Arbutin: Skin Savers Stain Remover
Is a pure, water soluble, biosynthetic active
ingredient. It is the more effective, faster and
safer approach to skin lightening and skin depigmentation.

marks/stretch marks/pregnancy mask/upper lip discolorations.
Lipids: Skin Savers Lite Lipids
The oil and fat part of skin that prevents evaporation
and provide lubrication to the surface of skin.
Lipids give skin surface texture and feel. Without

lines, and a tight, uncomfortable feeling.
Octyl methoxycinnamate: Skin Savers products
Sunscreen agent which protects from the sun's
UVB rays.
Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E): Skin Savers

The best of all ingredients and is an antioxidant
megastar that loves fat more than water. Some

tocopherol and the tocotrienols) when applied
to the skin.
