fruit acids
include apple, grape or lemon and remove old flakes of skin so that the skin looks smooth and fresh again. also reduce pigmentation spots and wrinkles.

fatty acids
the body cannot make essential unsaturated fatty acids itself, but they can be eaten with food (in plant oils, oils or fish). deficiencies can lead to dry skin or dull, brittle hair and nails.

fragrances
in the list of ingredients, these are summarised under the term “perfume“.  it is these that giove the product a pleasant aroma.  typically, they originate from plant sources such as blossoms and fruits. not everyone can tolerate every fragrance, and for this reason 26 items are specifically referred to on the label, e.g. ”Limonene“. Generally, however, everyone loves perfumed products!
