Purifying Powerclay (2 oz.)
About
Purifying Powerclay Face Mask is a detoxifying, clarifying clay mask formulated to deeply cleanse, purify, and rebalance skin — especially beneficial for oily, combination, or breakout-prone skin. It’s designed for those looking to clear out impurities, minimize breakouts, calm irritation, and leave skin feeling fresh, matte, and balanced.
What It Is
This is a dual-clay detox mask combining bentonite clay and kaolin clay — two of the most effective natural clays for absorbing excess oil, drawing out impurities, and cleansing pores. Alongside the clays, the formula includes botanical extracts, herbal actives, humectants, and soothing agents for balanced skin detox without over-drying.
Rather than a harsh, stripping mask, Purifying Powerclay aims to cleanse deeply while calming and nurturing — making it suitable for frequent use when skin needs a reset.
Key Benefits
-
Deeply cleanses pores & draws out impurities — the clays act like a “magnet” to sebum, dirt, and environmental pollutants, helping clear clogged pores.
-
Controls excess oil & shine — helps reduce breakouts — by absorbing surplus sebum and balancing oil production, it lowers the likelihood of clogged pores that lead to blemishes.
-
Soothes inflammation, calms redness & supports skin barrier health — thanks to herbal and botanical extracts like licorice root, horsetail, burdock root, and beta-glucan, which help calm skin and reduce irritation.
-
Refines texture & leaves skin feeling fresh, matte, and clean — the mask helps smooth surface texture and give skin a clean, refreshed finish post-wash.
-
Antioxidant & botanical support — with plant extracts that provide antioxidant, antimicrobial, and skin-soothing properties, supporting overall skin health and helping to prevent oxidative stress from environmental factors.
Key Ingredients & What They Do
Here are some of the standout ingredients — and why they matter.
| Ingredient / Component | Function / Benefit |
|---|---|
| Bentonite Clay | A highly absorbent clay that draws out sebum, toxins, and impurities — helps deeply cleanse pores and reduce oiliness. |
| Kaolin Clay | Gentle clay that absorbs excess oil and impurities without being overly drying — helps refine skin texture and leave a cleaner, balanced feel post-mask. |
| Burdock Root Extract (Arctium Majus Root) | Known for its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties — helps calm skin, support healing, and reduce breakout triggers. |
| Horsetail Extract (Equisetum Arvense) | Offers antioxidant and skin-soothing benefits — supports skin barrier health and helps calm irritation or redness. |
| Licorice Root Extract (Glycyrrhiza Glabra) | Helps soothe and brighten skin, even out tone, and reduce post-breakout discoloration or visible redness. |
| Beta-Glucan & Humectants (e.g. Glycerin, Sodium PCA) | Provide hydration and barrier support — ensuring that while the mask detoxifies and absorbs oil, skin doesn’t get stripped or overly dry. |
| Antioxidant-rich extracts & botanical actives (e.g. Turmeric, Watermelon Extract, Spirulina Powder) | Contribute antioxidant and anti-inflammatory support — helping skin resilience and protecting against environmental stress. |
Why It Stands Out
Purifying Powerclay Mask stands out because it thoughtfully combines powerful detoxifying clays with skin-soothing botanicals and barrier-supportive hydrators — creating a mask that deeply cleanses and decongests pores while protecting the skin’s health and balance.
Unlike many clay masks that can leave skin tight or dry, this formula uses humectants, herbal extracts, and antioxidants to calm, soften, and nourish — making it suitable not only for oily or acne-prone skin, but also for anyone needing a detox without harsh stripping.
