Love this essence, it calm my POD after 3 days. Only the refill opening could have a more spout-like shape, because when I pour the toner into the bottle, I always spill a lot.

Cleansing & Balancing Face Mask
Size:
- Just mix a little bit of Mask with water to create a gel and apply to clean skin.
- All skin types and concerns.
- Vegan, natural and fragrance-free.
Our water-less, preservative-free and fragrance-free Cleansing & Balancing Face Mask comes in an innovative powder-to-gel formula, that mixes with water to form a light gel. The Mask exfoliates, soothes and hydrates sensitive and problem skin without drying - skin will be left feeling soft, calm, clean and balanced.
The Mask is not clay-based but is instead formulated in base of potato starch, which gives the Mask its gel-texture, and is a great choice for anyone dealing with both sensitisation and e.g. acne, rosacea, POD, congestion and oiliness.
The Mask contains sea salt for gentle exfoliation, immunity-boosting ReConnecting Nature extract from the Finnish forest (so-called "forest dust"), microbiome-balancing and hydrating probiotic Finnish oat xylitol and Finnish fireweed extract.
Did you know: Fireweed is a true gift for sensitive and problem skin, with its soothing, anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, anti-fungal, anti-oxidative and skin-balancing properties. The exctract has been developed by our chemist Jaana, as part of her PhD research.
Sodium carboxymethyl Starch, Maris Sal, Humus Extract, Epilobium Angustifolium Extract, Xylitol
Sodium carboxymethyl Starch
Thickener. Modified potato starch is the gelling agent responsible for the Mask's pwder-to-gel formula.
Maris Sal
Humectant and skin conditioning. Sea salt. Lightly exfoliates and moisturises skin.
Humus Extract
Conditioning. ReConnecting Nature extract. Finnish "Forest Dust". The ReConnecting Nature extract is scientifically proven to boost immunity and is the result of 20 years of research by a team of biochemists from leading Finnish universities. It's dermatologically and tolerance tested and is suitable for all skin types. It promotes skin integrity for an enhanced skin barrier function, faster regeneration and repair, reduces skin redness and irritation and increases levels of age-defying collagen.
Epilobium Angustifolium Extract
Skin conditioning. Fireweed extract. A soothing, balancing, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-inlammatory and anti-oxidative powder made from the Finnish fireweed plant. Our chemist Jaana developed the extract as part of her PhD research.
Xylitol
Humectant and skin conditioning. Xylitol is a sugar alcohol and moisturises and conditions skin, whilst possessing anti-bacterial properties. There is some interesting research that suggests xylitol has the ability to inhibit bacterial biofilm on skin, which in turn may be the cause of many skin issues. The one we use is made in Finland from Finnish oats, and has probiotic properties.
