Naturally scented and brings with it a beautifully floral rose scent. Comes with a stainless steel spoon. This facial mask's wonderful skin benefits!: - Activated charcoal can have several benefits for the skin, including: Removing impurities: Activated charcoal can remove oil, dead skin cells, and other debris from the skin's surface. Shrinking pores: Activated charcoal can temporarily make pores appear smaller. Preventing acne: Activated charcoal can help prevent acne breakouts by removing impurities and fighting inflammation with its antibacterial properties. Managing oily skin: Activated charcoal can be especially beneficial for people with oily skin, as it can draw out excess oil and control shine. - Rose clay can have many benefits for your skin, including: Exfoliation: Rose clay can help remove dead skin cells, revealing brighter skin. Oil absorption: Rose clay can absorb excess oil and sebum from the skin, which can help with oily or acne-prone skin. Detoxification: Rose clay can help draw out impurities from the skin. Improved skin tone: Rose clay can help improve skin tone and texture. Increased circulation: Rose clay can help increase circulation to the skin. Nourishment: Rose clay can help nourish the skin and boost its natural radiance. Gentle: Rose clay is gentle enough for all skin types. Softness: Rose clay is soft and respects the pH of the epidermis. - Rose petal powder has many potential skin benefits, including: Soothing: Rose petal powder's anti-inflammatory properties can help calm irritated skin and reduce redness. This makes it suitable for those with sensitive or acne-prone skin. Exfoliating: Rose petal powder's slight coarseness and cleansing properties make it an excellent exfoliating agent. Anti-aging: Rose petal powder can inhibit the inflammatory response produced by exposure to UV rays, which can reduce the effects of aging. Toning and brightening: Rose petal powder may act as a gentle astringent, potentially toning the skin and minimising the appearance of pores. Antioxidant effects: Rose petal powder is rich in antioxidants, which can help combat free radicals that contribute to premature aging and wrinkles. Directions for Use: Using a dry (powdered) clay mask involves mixing it to a creamy consistency, applying it to clean skin, and rinsing it off before it becomes completely dry and itchy. 1. Preparation: Cleanse: Start with a clean face to remove oil and dirt, allowing for better absorption. Using warm water or a warm towel first can help open pores. Mix the Mask: In a clean bowl fill (using the scoop provided) with dry clay and use a small amount of water or liquid (such as tea, honey, rose water, yogurt, or apple cider vinegar-or, for an intensive treatment, we recommend using our Seaweed, Facial Day Concentrate as the liquid part). Create Consistency: Add liquid slowly, mixing until it reaches a smooth, creamy mud-like consistency. 2. Application: Apply Evenly: Use your fingers or a mask brush to apply a thin, even layer to your face and neck, avoiding the sensitive eye and lip areas. Targeted Application: If you have combination skin, apply a thicker layer to the oily T-zone and a thinner layer elsewhere 3. Timing: Wait: Let the mask sit for 5 to 15 minutes. Don't Let it Fully Dry: According to experts, you should never let a clay mask dry to the point of cracking or flaking. Remove it when it is still slightly damp to avoid over-drying and dehydrating your skin. Sensations: Tightening is normal, but if it causes pain or intense burning, remove it immediately. 4. Removal & Post-Care: Softening: Use warm water and a washcloth to gently soften the mask before wiping it off to avoid pulling the skin. Rinse: Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Moisturise: Immediately apply a moisturiser or serum, as clay masks can remove natural oils, leaving skin dry. Using our Sea Minerals, Repairing Facial Day Cream will compliment this facial mask. Recommended Frequency: Oily Skin: 1–2 times per week, Dry/Sensitive Skin: Once every 1–2 weeks. Key Tip: Only mix enough for one treatment to avoid waste. 100% Certified Organic Ingredients: *Charcoal Powder, * Rosa Damascena (Damask Rose) Flower Powder, *Kaolin (Rose Clay) *Certified Organic Discontinue use if irritation occurs.

Naturally scented and brings with it a nutty, earthy aroma. Comes with a stainless steel spoon. Legally registered on the Submit Cosmetic Products Notifications Portal (SCPN), UK cosmetic product number: UKCP-48155267 This facial mask's wonderful skin benefits!: - Reishi mushroom offers numerous skin benefits, primarily due to its rich composition of polysaccharides, triterpenoids, and antioxidants. These compounds work to provide calming, hydrating, and protective effects for the skin. Key benefits include: Soothing and Calming: Triterpenes in Reishi have potent anti-inflammatory properties that help calm irritated skin, reduce visible redness, and manage conditions like acne, eczema, and rosacea. Deep Hydration and Barrier Support: Rich in beta-glucans (a type of polysaccharide), Reishi acts as a powerful humectant, drawing moisture into the skin and helping to synthesise ceramides, which strengthens the skin's protective barrier to prevent moisture loss. Antioxidant Protection: Reishi is packed with antioxidants like ergothioneine and glutathione that help neutralize free radicals caused by environmental stressors (like UV rays and pollution), which can cause premature aging. Anti-Aging Support: By fighting free radicals, supporting collagen production, and enhancing skin elasticity, Reishi can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, leading to a firmer, more youthful look. Skin Brightening: Reishi has been shown to inhibit tyrosinase, an enzyme involved in melanin production, which helps to fade dark spots and hyperpigmentation for a more even skin tone. Promotes Healing: The immunomodulatory effects of Reishi's polysaccharides can support the skin's natural healing processes and tissue regeneration. Reishi is a versatile ingredient found in various skincare products like serums, moisturisers, and masks, and is generally considered safe for most skin types, including sensitive or acne-prone skin. - Shiitake mushrooms offer skin benefits like brightening dullness and fading dark spots thanks to kojic acid, while their antioxidants (like glutamine) fight aging signs, and beta-glucans provide hydration, supporting a healthy skin barrier and fighting inflammation, leading to smoother, clearer, and more resilient skin. Key Skin Benefits: Brightening & Even Tone: Kojic acid helps fade dark spots, scars, and hyperpigmentation for a radiant complexion. Anti-Aging: Antioxidants protect against environmental damage, reducing premature fine lines and wrinkles. Hydration: Beta-glucans attract moisture, keeping skin hydrated, similar to hyaluronic acid. Anti-Inflammatory: Compounds in shiitake soothe redness and discomfort, easing inflamed skin. Skin Barrier Support: Supports the skin's natural defence system, keeping it healthy and resilient. Collagen Support: Contains amino acids that help improve collagen quality for firmer skin. Antibacterial Properties: May help inhibit bacteria, contributing to clearer skin. How it Works: Shiitake extract is rich in kojic acid, zinc, selenium, and essential amino acids, which work together to lighten, firm, and protect the skin. Its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties combat free radicals, while beta-glucans lock in moisture. - Dried nettle has many potential benefits for the skin, including: Anti-inflammatory: Nettle can soothe inflamed skin and reduce redness, dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis, and rashes. Antibacterial: Nettle can fight infections, such as pimples, and prevent them from recurring. Antioxidant: Nettle can help with skin aging by reducing the appearance of wrinkles and age spots. Astringent: Nettle can help with oily skin, and is milder than alcohol, vinegar, or citrus. Purifying: Nettle extract can purify the skin. Soothing: Nettle extract can soothe the skin. Directions for Use: Using a dry (powdered) clay mask involves mixing it to a creamy consistency, applying it to clean skin, and rinsing it off before it becomes completely dry and itchy. 1.

With added hempseed oil, vitamin E and rosemary, pine needles & bergamot pure essential oils.

Rich in vitamin E, fatty acids, and antioxidants, it penetrates the hair shaft to reduce damage, tame frizz, and soothe dry scalps. It works best on thick, dry, or damaged hair. Key Benefits of Olive Oil for Hair: Deep Moisturisation & Softening: Olive oil contains oleic acid, which coats the hair shaft, sealing in moisture and reducing brittleness. Reduced Breakage & Frizz: By smoothing the outer cuticle, it makes hair more manageable, reduces friction between strands, and helps prevent split ends. Scalp Health: It can soothe a dry, itchy scalp and, due to its antifungal properties, may help manage mild dandruff. Increased Shine: It adds a healthy sheen, making hair appear healthier and more lustrous. Potential Growth Support: While not a cure for hair loss, its antioxidant properties can improve overall scalp health, creating a better environment for hair to thrive. - Stinging nettle supports hair health by blocking DHT (a hormone linked to hair loss), strengthening follicles with silica and sulfur, and balancing scalp sebum. It can be used via nettle-infused shampoos, oils, or teas to improve circulation and reduce inflammation. While promising, long-term efficacy is not fully established by clinical research. Key Benefits for Hair: Hair Loss Prevention: Nettle is widely cited for its ability to inhibit 5-alpha-reductase, the enzyme that converts testosterone into DHT, potentially slowing hair thinning. Strengthening Strands: Rich in silica and sulfur, it helps build and maintain the structural integrity of the hair shaft, reducing breakage. Scalp Health: Its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties help soothe itchy, dry, or inflamed scalps and regulate oil production without over-stripping.

Versatility: Suitable for all hair types, including colour-treated hair. - Hempseed oil provides intensive moisture, strengthens hair shafts, and promotes a healthy scalp through its high content of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, proteins, and antioxidants. It is lightweight, non-comedogenic, and helps reduce breakage, frizz, and split ends without leaving a heavy, greasy residue. Key Benefits: Deep Hydration & Shine: Rich in essential fatty acids, the oil penetrates the hair shaft to restore lipid balance, seal cuticles, and add luster. Strengthening & Anti-Breakage: Contains proteins and all 21 amino acids, which are building blocks for keratin, helping to reinforce weak or brittle hair and improve elasticity. Scalp Health: Its 3:1 ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 mirrors the skin's natural oils, allowing it to hydrate the scalp without clogging pores. Antioxidants like Vitamin E and carotene help protect against environmental damage. Growth Support: By improving scalp circulation and providing essential nutrients, it can support a healthy environment for hair growth and density. - Vitamin E oil benefits hair by acting as a powerful antioxidant that reduces oxidative stress, potentially increasing hair growth and reducing hair loss. It deeply moisturises the scalp, reduces inflammation, and adds shine to hair while protecting strands from environmental damage and reducing breakage.

Boosts Shine: Regular application can seal in moisture and increase natural shine. Aromatherapy essential oils with hair benefits!: - Rosemary essential oil promotes hair growth, strengthens follicles, and reduces scalp itchiness by improving circulation and fighting inflammation. It is particularly known to help with dandruff control and may help reduce hair breakage and premature greying. Studies suggest its effectiveness in stimulating growth can be comparable to 2% minoxidil over 6 months. Key Benefits for Hair: Stimulates Hair Growth: Increases scalp circulation, allowing more oxygen and nutrients to reach hair follicles. Reduces Hair Loss: Acts as a natural dihydrotestosterone (DHT) blocker, reducing the hormone responsible for shrinking hair follicles. Soothes Scalp: Reduces itching and inflammation associated with dandruff and scalp conditions. Strengthens and Conditions: Reduces breakage and increases hair density. Antioxidant Properties: Protects hair from damage and provides essential nutrients like iron and calcium. - Pine needle essential oil promotes a healthy scalp and shiny, strong hair by cleansing excess oil, soothing itchiness, and supporting blood circulation. To use it, mix a few drops into your shampoo or combine with a carrier oil for a scalp massage. It is known for its antimicrobial properties that combat dandruff and build-up without disrupting the scalp's natural microbiome. Key Benefits for Hair and Scalp: Scalp Health: Its antimicrobial nature helps remove bacteria, dead skin, and excess oil. This reduces inflammation, itchiness, and conditions like dandruff.
