Activated Charcoal

Known for its detoxifying properties, it can absorb thousands of times its own weight. Activated charcoal acts like a magnet to dirt and oil on your face. It sticks to the dirt/oil kind of like a magnet and removes them when you rinse off the mask. It can also make you pores appear smaller, because as dirt and oil setting in your pores it makes them look larger.

Rose Petal Powder

Helps to balance skin tone, antioxidants and has a soothing fragrance.

Bentonite Clay

This clay is used to draw out toxins from our skin. It also helps to absorb the excess sebum, is a mild exfoliate and helps to unclog pores.

Aloe Vera

Good for sun burns, acne and dry skin. Aloe Vera is packed with Vitamin A and Vitamin C, antioxidants, and enzymes. Vitamin A and C are necessary for your body to produce collagen. Vitamin C is also know to help fade acne scars.

Vegetable Glycerin

A natural humectant, which means that it draws moisture to the skin. Due to the increased moisture, it can make skin smoother and more supple. Learn more about humectants here!
