Grown Alchemist — a beauty brand that engineers plant-powered solutions using cutting-edge biotechnology — has named Akin Akman as its North American ambassador to promote the new Resurfacing Targeted Body Care range. Akman is Co-Founder and Head Performance Coach of AARMY. He was a former tennis prodigy who trained at IMG Academy under Nick Bollettieri and has over 20 years of coaching experience
Grown Alchemist’s Resurfacing Targeted Body Care range includes a Body Cleanser and Body Lotion formulated with a unique blend of AHAs and BHAs. These products simultaneously smooth texture, unclog pores, and hydrate skin using clinically tested concentrations of naturally derived acids. They are joined by biomimetic hydrators such as squalane and sugar complexes that support the skin's moisture barrier, and they are clinically proven to be suitable for sensitive skin without stripping.
