Powder-to-Foam Exfoliants

Sand & Sky's Water-Activated Powder is Bursting with Australian Fruits

The newest product from Sand & Sky is a water-activated powder polish that features the brand's signature Australian fruit. The Australian Emu Apple Enzyme Powder Polish boasts a bright hue and a unique powder-to-foam formula that promises to brighten and even the skin tone without causing irritation. The clean, glow-boosting product is powered by gentle fruit enzymes and helps to reveal radiant skin without causing sensitivity as some other exfoliants tend to do.

As many skincare products are water-based, brands are experimenting with water-activated formulas that require consumer intervention at the time of use. Since these products undergo a change in state when water is added, they have a dynamic nature that tends to be associated with efficacy.
