Brazilian Peel Clear from Advanced Home Actives

Classics.net photo
I am so totally on Sephora's fishing list!  A new flyer just showed up in my inbox touting the benefits of something called Brazilian Peel Clear. Now that I use products with safe ingredients I don't even think about stuff like that.

I do however get a lot of feedback from you wonderful readers asking for the actual ingredients in the "latest and greatest" beauty products. Also... this was just the type of product I would have gone for big time before I realized I needed to detox and started checking ingredients.

Do I still need to say that the first step for me is always entering a product's ingredients into Skin Deep? Here's what I found when I did...

Other MODERATE concerns: Organ system toxicity (non-reproductive)
Other LOW concerns: Ecotoxicology, Data gaps, Enhanced skin absorption

What makes this a Brazilian product or even associated with Brazil? Is it worth the hazard risk? Those are questions I can't answer. I'll never try a product with a hazard rating of seven (7).
