ABOUT THE INGREDIENTS
Colloidal Oat Kernel Powder +
gives pores a deep cleanse while softening and calming the skin. It adds the gentlest exfoliating effect, sloughing off dead cells to brighten your complexion. Oats contain saponin which provides a cleanse that is milder than the gentlest of soaps. They are anti-inflammatory, calming blemishes, redness, or lesions, and potently antioxidant providing the complexion with added protection long after use. Oats contain a high fat content, leaving skin moisturized and supple.
Chickpea Powder +
has been highly regarded as a gentle natural skincare treatment for centuries in India. It is antibacterial, a subtle exfoliant, and effectively smooths skin’s surface texture while minimizing the appearance of pores. Long used for its skin-lightening effect, it works to even skin tone and reduce hyperpigmentation.
Ground Flax Seeds +
are coarser than their counterparts in our No. 11 formula, giving the mixture a hybrid exfoliating and smoothing effect. Containing fiber and polyphenols, its antioxidants protect against harmful free-radicals that cause premature signs of aging. Most importantly, flax is rich in essential fatty acids, specifically Omega-3’s, which plump skin’s surface and ward off dry skin and flakiness.
Kaolin Clay +
naturally absorbs excess oil and dirt from skin’s surface. Slightly drying, it has a skin-tightening effect, minimizing the appearance of pores without drawing imperative sebum out of them. It stimulates circulation, improving your glow, and gently exfoliates the complexion.
Organic Calendula Powder +
has been used for centuries to heal a myriad of skin conditions. It improves circulation to the face, improving the appearance of wrinkles, refreshing skin tone, accelerating healing to decrease blemish flare-ups. It is slightly astringent, having a toning effect on the overall complexion.
Organic Lavender Powder +
is known for its healing and stress-relieving properties, and has the same effect when applied topically. Both antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory, it calms and balances even the most sensitive of skin. It is never drying, giving a hydrating toning effect to the complexion.
