It took us seven years, but it's here: our water-less, preservative-free and fragrance-free Cleansing & Balancing Face Mask, in an innovative powder-to-gel formula! Simply mix with water to form a lovely gel, and apply to clean skin.
The Mask cleanses, exfoliates and balances sensitive and problem skin without drying (get this - it's not clay-based but rather is made in a 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 (hence its nick name "forest dust"), microbiome-balancing and hydrating probiotic Finnish oat xylitol and as the resident new kid on the block, Finnish fireweed extract.
We're especially stoked to introduce you all to the fireweed. For one, it's a god-send for sensitive and problem skin, with its soothing, anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, anti-fungal, anti-oxidative and skin-balancing properties, but also because our absolute rock star of a chemist Jaana DEVELOPED THE FIREWEED EXTRACT HERSELF as part of her PhD research! For us, it doesn't get cooler than that.
Oh, and skin will be left feeling soft, calm, clean and balanced.
Formulated for sensitive & problem skin. Can be used around the eyes. Fragrance-free. No added preservatives. Vegan & natural ingredients. Developed in our own Helsinki lab & made in Finland.
