Clarifying • Antioxidant-rich • Balancing
A verdant blend of mineral-rich clays and botanicals, this powdered mask is designed to gently clarify the skin, reduce excess oil, and soothe inflammation. 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 detoxifying formula combines French green clay and kaolin to draw out impurities without stripping your skin. Urtica dioica (nettles) provide gentle support for inflamed or blemish-prone skin, while matcha green tea offers antioxidant protection and a calming touch. Spirulina adds a burst of vital nutrients to replenish tired, stressed complexions.
Each small batch is hand-blended in our Vashon 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 – Traditionally used to soothe inflammation; rich in minerals and polyphenols that support skin clarity.
- Matcha Green Tea – High in catechins like EGCG, helps calm visible redness and provides antioxidant support.
- Spirulina – A freshwater algae prized for its chlorophyll and GLA content, supporting skin vitality and resilience.
How to Use
Mix 1-2 teaspoons of powder with water, hydrosol, or your favorite medium (see suggestions below) to form a smooth paste. Apply to clean skin, avoiding the eye area. Leave on for 5–10 minutes or until just dry—do not let it fully harden. Rinse gently with warm water and follow with your usual moisturizing routine.
Use 1–2 times per week.
