Packed with waterless actives, this dry masque is activated with liquid to ensure maximum potency of active ingredients.
LICORICE ROOT EXTRACT
A strong adaptogenic plant extract that has balancing and skin-soothing properties. It inhibits the production of melanin in the skin, helping to reduce discoloration.
L-ASCORBIC ACID - VITAMIN C
A potent antioxidant and dramatic brightener, vitamin C helps to fade discolorations. It improves the appearance of textured skin and firmness. Because it begins to oxidize almost immediately after activation with water, we use it only in powdered form and package it in protective violet glass to maintain its integrity until you mix it for each use.
BENTONITE CLAY
When bentonite is exposed to water, it attracts positively charged surfaces in water to its negative face by electrostatic attraction forces. This phenomenon enables the bentonite to absorb seven to 10 times its weight and swell up to 18 times its original volume to open up pores.
LICORICE ROOT EXTRACT
A strong adaptogenic plant extract that has balancing and skin-soothing properties. It inhibits the production of melanin in the skin, helping to reduce discoloration.
WHITE WILLOW BARK
White willow bark extract provides gentle exfoliation to reveal dewy, healthy-looking skin that is calm and clear. White willow bark is rich in tannins, which are natural astringents to tighten skin and reduce pore size.
ACTIVATED CHARCOAL
Activated charcoal is made by taking hardwoods or coconut shells and burning them while depriving them of oxygen to create unique ‘pockets’ that attract impurities like a magnet. One teaspoonful of activated charcoal or carbon has a surface area of more than 10,000 square feet, which gives charcoal unique absorption properties.
ALOE VERA
Aloe vera is an adaptogen that restores balance, provides protective moisture, and offers a calming sensation to skin.
BAOBAB FRUIT
Baobab’s antioxidant polyphenol content is much higher than other fruits and berries. It's an antioxidant powerhouse and is high in vitamin C.
CHAGA
Wild chaga is a potent adaptogen and contains extremely high levels of antioxidants to offer comfort for sensitive, stressed, and tired-looking skin.
