Clay masks are a traditional way of gently exfoliating and cleansing the skin. They help to remove toxins and dead skin cells, absorb excess oil or nourish dry skin and they improve circulation. They can be used regularly on their own, as part of a cleansing routine or with other products to create a natural spa experience.
Each mask contains white Kaolin Clay as a base, which is the gentlest and great for sensitive and dry skin. It doesn’t absorb so much as it softens super gentle bits for mild exfoliation. It is a gentle cleanser that will help extract impurities and absorb excess oils from the skin without causing any inflammation. It can help with acne breakouts and when used regularly some have found that it can help balance the skin's oil production.
Why use a powder as opposed to a premade mask?
We prefer powders for two reasons. Firstly, ready made masks containing any water or water based product will need to have a preservative added to stop bacteria growing. Without such a preservative the product would be dangerous and not meet Cosmetic Products Safety Regulations. We prefer to avoid the use of preservatives where we can in order to keep our products as natural as possible. Secondly, using powder leaves you with the option of adding the liquid of your choice - this could be water, a floral hydrosol or a milk such as coconut depending on your preference.
Although our products are made from natural ingredients with no added chemicals or preservatives, the majority of our products do contain a small quantity of Sweet Almond Oil (just a precautionary note for Nut Allergy sufferers). None of our products contain Palm Oil, and they never will.
