Key Information
What Earth Science Ayurveda Says
Product Description:
Earth Science Ayurveda AHA 30% BHA 5% PHA 2% Face Peeling Solution sounds like a potent exfoliating serum designed to promote skin glow. Key components include AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acid) for exfoliating the skin's surface and improving fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation; BHA (Beta Hydroxy Acid) for penetrating pores and reducing acne breakouts, suitable for oily and acne-prone skin; and PHA (Polyhydroxy Acid) for gentle exfoliation suitable for sensitive skin types. The brand emphasizes natural and herbal ingredients consistent with Ayurvedic traditions, including botanical extracts and essential oils.

AHA, BHA, PHA
Ingredients Details
Aha
Common Name(s): Aha,alpha-hydroxy acid exfoliant,keratolytic active
CAS Number: N/a
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Exfoliates dead skin cells by disrupting desmosomal adhesion bonds, brightens skin tone, stimulates collagen production, and improves product active penetration through the exfoliated sc.
Why It's Used: Aha exfoliation is the most evidence-backed chemical exfoliation mechanism with 30+ years of clinical use data; different acid sizes allow formulators to select penetration depth and intensity for specific skin types.
How It Works: Aha carboxylic groups donate hโบ disrupting caยฒโบ coordination of desmoglein desmosomal proteins at formulation ph 3โ4, weakening corneocyte cohesion. smaller ahas (glycolic, mw 76) penetrate fastest; larger (mandelic, mw 152) penetrate slower for gentler exfoliation.
Typically Found In: Exfoliating toners,aha serums,anti-aging
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Active ingredient โ alpha hydroxy acid (aha)
Secondary Functions: Brightening,collagen stimulation
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 1%โ15%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes
Halal Status: Yes
Source Notes: Fermentation-derived or synthetic. ph must be โค4.0 for aha activity.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 2/5 โ low to moderate
Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5 โ non-comedogenic
Sensitivity Concerns: Photosensitizing โ mandatory spf use. start at low frequency.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Use with caution โ spf required
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Safe at otc concentrations. eu: โค10% leave-on at ph โฅ3.5. mandatory spf advisory.
Works Well With: Niacinamide,ceramides,hyaluronic acid,spf
Avoid Combining With: Retinol in same step; multiple exfoliants simultaneously
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Glycolic acid is the most clinically studied aha; mandelic and lactic are preferred for sensitive or darker skin types from their larger molecular weight and slower penetration kinetics.

Bha
Common Name(s): Bha
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Delivers targeted skin-conditioning or bioactive benefits through a specific mechanism of action suited to the formulation's intended purpose.
Why It's Used: Specialty actives address specific skin concerns through targeted molecular mechanisms, providing efficacy beyond what base formulation ingredients alone can achieve.
How It Works: The bioactive compound interacts with specific molecular targets in skin cells or the extracellular matrix โ enzymes, receptors, structural proteins, or signaling molecules โ triggering beneficial biological responses.
Typically Found In: Serums,treatments,moisturizers,specialty products
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Specialty actives
Secondary Functions: Skin-conditioning,anti-aging
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 0.01โ5%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes
Halal Status: Yes
Source Notes: Specialty active ingredient; check individual sourcing for vegan status.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1
Comedogenicity Rating: 0
Sensitivity Concerns: Low sensitization potential at recommended use concentrations.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Well-characterized cosmetic ingredient with established safety profile. generally non-irritating at typical use concentrations. suitable for leave-on and rinse-off cosmetics.
Works Well With: Niacinamide,hyaluronic acid,vitamin c,peptides
Avoid Combining With: Incompatible with oxidizing agents; check ph stability
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Specialty actives typically work through enzyme inhibition (e.g., tyrosinase inhibition for brightening, mmp inhibition for anti-aging), receptor activation (e.g., retinoid receptors, ppar-ฮณ for barrier genes), or transcription factor modulation (e.g., nrf2 for antioxidant gene upregulation). structure-activity relationships determine potency and selectivity.

Pha
Common Name(s): Polyhydroxy acid (pha),gentle large-molecule exfoliant,sensitive skin aha
CAS Number: N/a
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides gentle keratolytic exfoliation, skin brightening, and humectant moisture retention simultaneously โ with a skin-irritation profile significantly lower than glycolic or lactic acid from slower penetration kinetics.
Why It's Used: The gold standard for sensitive skin chemical exfoliation โ phas provide aha-class exfoliation efficacy in fitzpatrick ivโvi and rosacea skin types where glycolic acid is too aggressive.
How It Works: Multiple hydroxyl groups on the pha molecule slow sc penetration (fick's law: d โ mw^-0.7) providing gentler keratolytic action. the hydroxyl groups also bind water providing simultaneous humectancy and chelate caยฒโบ to disrupt desmosomal adhesion for exfoliation.
Typically Found In: Sensitive skin,exfoliating toners,post-procedure

SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Phas have a water of hydration shell from multiple oh groups that further slows sc penetration versus equivalent-mw ahas โ the combined larger mw and greater hydration shell providing the gentlest keratolytic delivery kinetics of all acid exfoliants.
