Clarifying • Antioxidant-rich • Balancing
A verdant blend of mineral-rich clays and botanicals, this powdered mask is designed to gently clarify the skin, absorb excess surface oil, and leave skin feeling fresh. Formulated for oily, acne-prone, and combination skin types, it draws upon traditional herbal allies like nettle, matcha green tea, and spirulina to restore balance and glow.
Why You'll Love It
This clarifying formula combines French green clay and kaolin to absorb excess surface oil without leaving skin feeling stripped. Nettle leaf has a long place in herbal care for blemish-prone skin and brings naturally occurring minerals and polyphenols to the blend. Matcha contributes tea catechins, including EGCG, while spirulina brings phycocyanin, chlorophyll, carotenoids, and gamma-linolenic acid (GLA).
Each small batch is hand-blended in our Vashon Island studio using organic and wild-harvested ingredients.
Key Ingredients
- French Green Clay (Montmorillonite) – Deeply cleansing and mineral-rich, helps refine pores and absorb excess oil.
- Kaolin Clay – A softer, gentler clay that mildly exfoliates and balances sensitive skin.
- Nettle Leaf – Wild-foraged whole nettle leaf, traditionally used in herbal skincare for blemish-prone skin and valued for its naturally occurring minerals and polyphenols.
- Matcha Green Tea – Finely powdered green tea leaf containing catechins such as EGCG, compounds studied for their antioxidant activity.
- Spirulina – Whole spirulina powder prized for its phycocyanin, chlorophyll, carotenoids, and gamma-linolenic acid (GLA).
How to Use
Mix 1–2 teaspoons of powder with water or hydrosol to form a smooth paste. Apply a thin layer to clean skin, avoiding the eye area. Keep the mask slightly moist and remove after 5–8 minutes, before it dries hard. Rinse gently with lukewarm water and follow with your usual moisturizing routine.
Use once per week or as needed.
Customize Your Fresh Mask
Start with water or a hydrosol to form a smooth paste. For a richer, more cushioning fresh mask, add a small amount of plain yogurt, honey, or mashed avocado, or a few drops of face oil. Mix only what you plan to use and discard any prepared leftovers.
