The science of skin regeneration
Forget the idea of the simple scrub that "scratches" the surface. The formula of MTJBody Scrub, a body smoothing treatment, and Hand Scrub, an exfoliating hand treatment, represents an evolution in the world of body exfoliation: a treatment that blends plant biomechanics with molecular bio-integration (If you want to learn more about the exfoliating routine in the meantime, don't miss this blog post).
Here are three curious and scientific aspects that make this product a true "shock treatment" for cell renewal.
Olive Kernel Biomechanics
Unlike salt, which dissolves during use by changing grain size, the Olive Kernel Microgranules contained in the formula keep their structure intact throughout the duration of the massage.
-
The concept: This allows for constant and controlled mechanical exfoliation. The spherical shape of the plant micro-granules selectively removes only "dead" cells (desquamating corneocytes) without attacking the hydrolipid film.
-
Why it is curious: It is an "eco-engineering" choice. While in some cases microplastics or sea salts are used in scrubs, olive kernel respects the skin's pH and the environment, providing a massage that stimulates surface microcirculation evenly.
The Secret of Rice Bran Oil: The "silk-effect"
The second ingredient in the formula isRice Bran Oil. This is no accident: Rice Bran Oil is one of the oldest secrets of Eastern cultures for achieving "porcelain skin."
-
The concept: Very rich in gamma-oryzanol and vitamin E, this oil does not grease but penetrates deeply.
-
Why it's curious: It acts as a "protective lubricant" during exfoliation. While Olive Kernel removes, Rice Oil instantly repairs. The result is that "silky" (not just smooth) skin feel immediately after rinsing.
Bio-Integration: Hyaluronic Acid and the Amino Acid "code"
This is the real revolution: a rinse-off product that contains actives usually reserved for high-end facial serums, such asHydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid and an Amino Acid complex (Valine, Threonine, Glutamic Acid, Glycine).
-
The concept: Fragmented (hydrolyzed) hyaluronic acid is able to "wedge" itself between freshly exfoliated cells, retaining moisture. Amino acids, on the other hand, are the basic building blocks of collagen.
-
Why it's curious: We're talking about a scrub that "educates" the skin. Instead of just removing the old, it provides to new skin the biological material to fortify itself. It is a pre-aging treatment that transforms the shower into a moment of dermal reconstruction.
Vitamin Shock from Citrus
The formula is enriched with Extracts of Lemon, Tangerine, Bitter Orange and Grapefruit.
-
The concept: These are not just natural fragrances; these extracts are rich in natural alpha-hydroxy acids and bioflavonoids.
-
Why it's curious: They act as an "enzymatic awakening." While olive kernel works mechanically, citric extracts work chemically on radiance, helping to lighten small spots and even out the complexion.
