After cleansing your face and letting it dry, apply a thin
layer of the mask over your face, avoiding the delicate eye area, eyebrows, and lips. Leave on for 10 minutes until the mask dries. Wash off with lukewarm water. It can also be used as a targeted treatment for congested skin.

For best results, use 1-2 times a week.

*naturally occurring in essential oils

Water: Water is wet. But seriously water is multifunctional in skincare primarily as a solvent, assisting making ingredients easier to absorb into the surface levels of the skin and provide hydration. It is essential in all liquid cosmetics that are based on emulsification, such as this one. We use distilled water, free from impurities and minerals.

Sodium Bentonite: A highly absorbing clay, bentonite is highly effective at absorbing excess sebum (skin oil). It is used in this formulation to support the adsorbent properties of 200M OA Carbon.

Propanediol: A humectant (moisture magnet) and solvent. This ingredient improves the absorption of ingredients as well as being a superb skin hydrator, ideally suited for people with skin prone to sensitisation. It is a biodegradable ingredient and our source is palm oil-free.

Glycerine: A potent humectant, glycerine is used in this formulation to condition the skin leaving it feeling lightly hydrated. The glycerine we have sourced for this formulation is palm oil-free.

Activated Charcoal: Our patented oxygenated activated carbon derived from waste almond shells. We use 200M, one of the smaller mesh sizes for maximum adsorption of oxidised skin oil, dirt and dead skin cells. It's a decongestant agent, ideal for the clogged skin. 

Note about M: ‘M’ stands for mesh (hey that’s our name!) and is the term used for the size grading of the particles in activated charcoal.

Cetearyl Alcohol: A fatty alcohol that nourishes your skin and stabilises our formula.

Ceteareth-20: An emulsifying agent used in conjunction with Cetearyl Alcohol to nourish your skin and stabilise the formula.

Sweet Almond Oil: A light and nourishing oil from almond kernels, sweet almond oil is a highly functional oil able to soothe the skin and nourish it deeply without feeling greasy or uncomfortable. It is a natural source of Vitamin E, an antioxidant compound helpful in protecting skin from environmental aggressors.

Salicylic Acid: A chemical exfoliator, used in this formula to accompany the adsorbent properties of the OA Carbon. Salicylic acid is able to slough off dead skin, unclog pores of oxidised sebum and dead skin and gently resurface the skin. We have used 1.5% in this formula.

Ethyl Alcohol: Used as a co-solvent, ethyl alcohol is a highly effective ingredient to help solvate ingredients and improve the application. Ethyl alcohol is used in low concentrations and when combined with humectants and fatty acids (like this formula) there is extremely low risk of the product excessively drying your skin.

Decyl Glucoside: A sugar surfactant and fragrance solubiliser. In this formula, the ingredient is a mild surfactant to help the clean-off of the mask.

Benzyl Alcohol: An aromatic alcohol that is used as part of the preservative system along with phenoxyethanol, ethylhexylglycerin and sodium phytate. It also operates as a stabiliser. Some people have a diagnosed allergic reaction to this ingredient. If you suspect an allergy, discontinue use and consult with your general practitioner before reintroducing into your routine.

Phenoxyethanol: Blended with ethylhexylglycerin, this duo operates as a broad spectrum preservative to impair microbial growth such as yeasts, bacteria and mould fungi. In combination with sodium phytate and benzyl alcohol these ingredients operate as the product’s preservation system.

Ethylhexylglycerin: Blended with phenoxyethanol, this duo operates as a broad spectrum preservative to impair microbial growth such as yeasts, bacteria and mould fungi. In combination with sodium phytate and benzyl alcohol these ingredients operate as the product’s preservation system.

Petitgrain Essential Oil: A woody green scented fragrance oil derived from the leaves of the bitter orange tree. Petitgrain Essential Oil contains potential fragrance allergens linalool, geraniol and limonene (see below).

Xanthan Gum: A natural stabiliser and emulsifier from corn sugar, xanthan gum is used as a thickening and stabilising agent. 

Sodium Phytate: A biodegradable chelating agent sourced from phytic acid. Chelating agents are molecules that collect up potential food sources for microbes, helping to preserve the formula. In conjunction with phenoxyethanol, benzyl alcohol and ethylhexylglycerin, this ingredient is part of this product's preservation system.

Rosemary Leaf Extract: An naturally-sourced antioxidant compound to help guard the skin against any environmental damage.

Linalool: A naturally occurring component of Petitgrain Essential Oil. This ingredient is not added separately, however we have listed it here due to it potentially being an allergen to some people. 

Geraniol:  A naturally occurring component of Petitgrain Essential Oil. This ingredient is not added separately, however we have listed it here due to it potentially being an allergen to some people. 

Limonene:  A naturally occurring component of Petitgrain Essential Oil. This ingredient is not added separately, however we have listed it here due to it potentially being an allergen to some people.
