Oil-soluble exfoliants that clear pores and calm inflammation. Used selectively in AgeBiome™ rituals to decongest the scalp or skin without disrupting balance.

What It Is

Beta Hydroxy Acids (BHAs) are a class of oil-soluble exfoliants—most commonly salicylic acid—known for their ability to penetrate pores, dissolve excess sebum, and remove dead skin cells from within. Unlike AHAs, which work on the skin's surface, BHAs go deeper, targeting congestion at the root of the follicle or pore.

This makes them uniquely effective for oily, acne-prone, or inflamed skin and scalp, where traditional exfoliation may not be enough to restore clarity.

Why It Matters in Skin & Scalp Health

In the AgeBiome™ context, BHAs are considered a targeted tool, not a daily essential. They're used to decongest specific zones—such as oily scalp patches or blemish-prone skin—without disrupting the surrounding biome. This approach supports the Tricho Reboot and Derma Reboot rituals, where precision matters more than intensity.

Used in moderation, BHAs help rebalance oil flow, reduce inflammation, and create the right conditions for peptides and repair actives to do their work more effectively.

Biological Benefits

‍

Why AgeBiome™ includes BHAs in focused ritual applications:

• Penetrates deep into pores and follicles to clear congestion
• Dissolves excess sebum and prevents buildup-related inflammation
• Calms reactive skin prone to breakouts or flaking
• Supports scalp mapping and zone-specific exfoliation
• Prepares oily zones to better absorb active serums
• Reduces micro-obstruction without harming the biome

How It Feels in Ritual

BHAs feel clean, light, and slightly clarifying—without the harshness often associated with acne products. When used in the correct zones and buffered properly, they provide relief from oiliness and congestion without triggering dryness or barrier stress.

What It Means for You

BHAs help you clear the path beneath the surface, so your skin and scalp feel lighter, cleaner, and more in balance—without harshness or overcorrection.

“Not all exfoliation needs to be visible—some of the most powerful resets happen below the surface.”
