Our clay and buttermilk masks are called “Clay-Opatra” because the famously beautiful Egyptian Queen Cleopatra bathed in buttermilk daily to maintain her gorgeous skin. These buttermilk and clay masks will be your new favorite facecare routine!

Ingredients:

Powdered Cultured Buttermilk

• Buttermilk gives your skin a natural extra boost of beautifying proteins and AHA’s (alpha-hydroxy acids) to renew and nourish your skin from the outside-in.

• AHA’s increase cellular turnover and encourage skin’s rejuvenation, making your skin act and appear more youthful.

• The main AHA in buttermilk is a protein called Lactic Acid.

• It would take an entire article to explain all of the nutritious benefits of buttermilk… so we did! Read our article about the vast nutrient contents of buttermilk here.

White Kaolin Clay

• While a kaolin clay face mask isn’t ideal for dry skin, it may help those with oily skin and those who are acne-prone.

  “Kaolin absorbs sebum and prevents pore clogging. It’s used to draw out impurities and toxins from the pores. [It then] clears the skin of excess oil, dirt, and pollution without causing any redness or irritation,” says Alessandra Caceres, a licensed aesthetician.

• Because of its antibacterial properties, kaolin clay may be useful in treating acne, too.

  The minerals in kaolin clay can remove oils, secretions, and contaminants from the skin. They serve as cleansing and refreshing agents by absorbing moisture and impurities and by reducing blemishes.

  A 2012 study (Source) offered preliminary evidence that a healing clay facial mask can be an effective treatment for mild acne.

• However, one 2012 study (Source) tested the effectiveness of topical clay application on collagen fibers in rat skin. The study showed that clay may increase collagen fibers, which may account for its benefits.

Silk Protein Powder

• Silk is one of the softest, yet strongest materials on Earth. If you’ve ever heard the phrase “soft as silk” and experienced silk’s superior luxury fabric, you will understand why this is so.

• Silk is made from the silk moth cocoon’s after they hatch and leave their fibrous home behind, which has became highly prized since ancient times for its many uses in beauty and textiles.

• But what can it do for the skin? Since early history, silk powder has been used to protect, enhance, and beautify all skin types to shield it from harmful light and environmental pollutants, while also building the strength and tone of the skin’s surface, improving its texture and flexibility.

• Great for nourishing, calming, and enhancing the skin’s natural beauty with its brightening, toning, and strengthening proteins, you will feel the difference in just one use!

Vanilla Oleoresin

• Pollution, dust, and an oily diet are the biggest enemies of your skin. B-vitamins present in vanilla essential oil, such as niacin, thiamin, B6, and pantothenic acid, aid to maintain healthy skin.

• The vanilla essential oil also has antioxidant properties that help to protect the skin from signs of aging, as well as pollutants and chemicals in the environment.

Fragrance Oils

Phthalate-Free and Paraben-Free Fragrance Oils are included for a familiar and comforting scent. Did you know that most body care shoppers make their purchase decisions based solely on scent satisfaction? The olfactory system is directly related to emotions and memories, which is why scents are such an important factor for many. Please keep in mind that not including phthalates and parabens will reduce the scent hold, decreasing the linger time and strength compared to what many are used to with store-bought products. Learn more about our safer fragrance oils HERE and read about this product’s scent and scent strength in the product’s scent tab.
