Key Ingredients of SAM Koji Plus Bar
The soap is formulated with a
"dynamic duo" of brightening agents along with moisturizing
botanicals:
Ø Kojic Acid: Derived from fermented rice
(Koji), it inhibits melanin production, directly attacking dark spots and
pigmentation.
Ø Alpha Arbutin: A powerful, safe agent that
reduces the appearance of hyperpigmentation and promotes a radiant complexion.
Ø Organic Shea Butter & Coconut Oil: Rich in
vitamins and fatty acids that nourish, soften, and moisturize the skin.
Ø Organic Olive Oil & RSPO Palm Oil: Provide
additional hydration to keep skin smooth.
How to Use SAM Koji Plus Bar
Ø Wet: Wet your skin with lukewarm water.
Ø Lather: Lather the SAM Koji+ Bar in your hands and apply the foam
to your skin.
Ø Massage: Gently massage the lather onto
your skin in circular motions.
Ø Sit: Let the lather sit on the skin for a few minutes (about
1–3 minutes) for best results.
Ø Rinse: Rinse thoroughly with water and pat dry with a clean
towel.
Ø Aftercare: Crucial step: Always
follow up with a good moisturizer, as Kojic acid can be drying.
Recommendations:
Ø Start by using it 2-3 times a week, gradually increasing to daily use
if your skin tolerates it.
Ø Sunscreen is essential during the day, as brightening
products increase UV sensitivity.
