CHIRAL/CHIRALITY Chiral is the delivery system used by Scosh Skincare. It delivers ingredients into the skin so they do not lay on top of the skin. Every molecule found in nature is Chiral. (‘kī-rul’, is Greek for hands.) Chiral molecules are identical mirror images of each other, meaning they have a "left" and a "right" chemical orientation, much like our hands. The skin is comprised of millions of chiral receptors, which dictate instructions to the cells. Only through receptors can the body access nutrients, drugs, and locally applied products. Applying the wrong chiral twin to the skin results in either poor response, irritation or no effectiveness. It’s like trying to put a right-handed glove on your left hand, it simply doesn't work. For a product to be optimally effective, it must be received by a specific receptor, therefore chirally correct. Scosh products fit because they are chirally correct. They are more concentrated, more effective and less irritating than any other product available today. The chiral process is so effective that the FDA mandated all new pharmaceuticals must be chirally formulated (if possible) prior to being introduced to the public. In 2001, the Nobel Prize in Chemistry was shared by three scientists who devised techniques for and the use of chiral catalysts.

FREE RADICAL
 

Free radicals are atoms or molecules in your body with an unpaired electron…making them highly unstable. Because electrons normally come in pairs, the free radicals collide with other molecules in an attempt to steal an electron, and may start a chain reaction, wreaking havoc on your DNA and cells and leading to all kinds of diseases. Free radical scavengers, or antioxidants, bind with the free radicals before they can do their damage.

Source: Rhubarb
Benefits: Glycolic acid reduces corneocyte cohesion and corneum layer thickening where excess dead skin cell buildup can be associated with many common skin problems.

It also appears to improve skin hydration by enhanced moisture uptake as well as increased binding of water to the stratum corneum. This leads to a sloughing of dead skin cells that has demonstrated effectiveness in helping clear the pores of acne-prone skin; smoothing the fine lines in older, photo-aged skin; and diminishing the signs of actinic keratosis, commonly referred to as age or liver spots. Provides relief to thick, dry skin. Promotes healthy glycine (simplest of all proteins, builds amino acids) production/utilization for collagen and elastin.
