Green Essence: Kaolin Facial Masque
Our Green Essence Kaolin Facial Masque pays tribute to the wild natural bounty of our land and ocean. It’s rich in minerals, antioxidants, polysaccharides, and skin-protecting ingredients like kaolin clay, rosemary, sage and seaweed.
One of the main ingredients in our masque is French Green Clay. French Green Clay is a natural, bio-organic material. Green clay owes its coloration to 2 factors: iron oxides, and... decomposed plant matter mostly kelp seaweed and other algae! Green clay gets its powers from the very cycle of life nature uses to regenerate itself.
Green Essence offers the benefit of detoxifying properties and at the same time it is soothing and relaxing. It will tighten, clean and refresh the skin. Your skin will be hydrated... nourished... oxygenated. The final result is a renewed, rested and youthful appearance.
The highly micronized state of French Green Clay gives it remarkable absorbent properties. It literally drinks oils, toxic substances, and impurities from the skin.
French Green Clay contains numerous valuable elements which include silica, magnesium, calcium, iron, phosphorus, sodium, potassium, copper, zinc, selenium, cobalt, manganese, phosphorous, silicon, micro-algaes, kelp, and phyto-nutrients, that are beneficial for your skin.
French Green Clay is extracted manually from a quarry in Southern France. After it is mined it is brought out into the sun to remove excess water. This prolonged exposure to the life giving sunlight endows the clay with its healing powers. Then it gets grounded with huge hydraulic crushers and subsequently pulverized with mesh equipment into fine powder.
Active Ingredients:
Kaolin Clay
is a favorite for one clear reason: It’s extraordinarily gentle. Most clays used in cosmetics are harsh and drying. Kaolin isn’t. Instead, it cleans and exfoliates without soaking up your skin’s natural oils. It also delivers valuable trace minerals and helps remove impurities.
Rosemary
is a skin toner and stimulates circulation. This fragrant herb gives your skin a rosy glow and tight tone that help skin heal better. Another ingredient, sage, helps balance oily skin and is rich in wrinkle-fighting antioxidants.
Wakame seaweed bio-ferment
is filled with polysaccharides, antioxidants, and minerals that help heal, protect, and fortify your skin. This bio-ferment stimulates collagen production and shields it from damage, so your complexion stays nice and firm.
