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.
-
Purple Brazilian Clay
-
While you may not think that clay could naturally have such a bold color, the beautiful soft purple color of this clay is due to high levels of magnesium. Purple clay benefits are mostly anti-aging. Magnesium helps ensure healthy skin cells, which can make you look younger.
-
Among its many benefits, Brazilian Purple Clay is known for its ability to soothe and calm the skin. It has anti-inflammatory properties that can help to reduce redness and irritation, making it a perfect ingredient for those with sensitive skin.
-
Purple Brazilian Clay can also help prevent your skin from absorbing environmental contaminants and impurities.
Organic Colloidal Oatmeal
-
USDA Certified Organic Colloidal oatmeal is made by grinding organically grown oat grain, or Avena sativa, into a fine powder.
-
For centuries, colloidal oatmeal has been a salve for itchy, dry, or irritated skin. It’s considered an emollient — a substance that softens or soothes the skin — because it packs fats, proteins, vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients shown to benefit the skin (Source, Source, Source)
-
In fact, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) officially categorized colloidal oatmeal as a skin protectant in 2003 (Source).
-
It boasts anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that benefit your skin. Antioxidants fight free radicals, which can damage your skin through oxidative stress if their numbers become too high (Source, Source, Source).
-
One study found that colloidal oatmeal’s unique chemical profile diminishes cytokines, a group of proteins that cause inflammation in your body. These beneficial properties are due to avenanthramides, a group of plant chemicals found in oat kernels (Source, Source, Source).
-
Colloidal oatmeal is used to treat the symptoms of many conditions, including eczema. Eczema, also known as dermatitis, is a cluster of medical conditions that result in skin abnormalities like itchy, scaly, or patchy skin. It has various causes, including allergies, irritants, and stress (Source)
Indigo Powder
-
Psoriasis is one of the conditions indigo has been shown to treat and the topical application of the herb is the most effective route for skin conditions. (Source)
-
Psoriasis occurs with inflammation of the skin, which triggers a cascade of different events leading to plaques on the skin. Indigo naturalis combats several events in the development of psoriasis lesions, also known as plaques. What makes indigo naturalis so effective? There are 3 major components of indigo naturalis: indigo, indirubin, and tryptanthrin.
-
Indirubin affects the increased number of skin cells proliferating at one time in psoriasis. A molecule in cells known as CDC25B and a molecule that signals cells to proliferate known as EGFR both play an important role in the increased skin cell numbers. Indirubin has been found to decrease the amount of CDC25B in the cell and stop EGFR activation. This leads to a decrease in the skin cell turnover, which combats psoriasis plaque formation.(Source)
-
Tryptanthrin decreases IL-17, an important signaling molecule that promotes inflammation and is known to be increased in psoriasis. (Source)
-
Indigo naturalis as a whole herb improves skin cell connections, which are very important for normal skin function. The connections are often disrupted in psoriasis. These tight connections between cells include a protein called claudin-1. Indigo naturalis improves the skin cell connections by increasing the amount of claudin-1. Additionally, the herb has been shown to decrease the inflammation associated with a special cell called neutrophils. Neutrophils are a major cell type involved in psoriasis development. Interestingly, the individual components of indigo naturalis are not effective alone. This tells us indigo, indirubin, and tryptanthrin within indigo naturalis must work together to exert their effects.(Source, Source)
Lavender Essential Oil
-
Therapeutic-Grade Lavender Essential Oil may assist with acne, balancing skin tone, and wrinkle reduction.
-
Lavender is beneficial to the skin since it is soothing, mild, and full of beneficial properties.
-
Lavender oil may help to decrease the appearance of blemishes and give your skin a young shine.
-
It can also assist if you are prone to skin inflammation, sunburns, or mild skin irritations.
-
One animal research discovered that when administered topically, lavender oil healed wounds faster than other treatments, such as saline and iodine, over a five-day period. Researchers attribute this occurrence to an increase in the amount of EGF, or epidermal growth factor, in the epidermis, which is required for tissue regeneration.
-
Lavender oil contains antibacterial and antifungal qualities, which may also aid in the healing process.
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.

We recommend using within 1 year of first use for best results, as scents and contents fade and break down faster over time once disturbed.
This is for ALL products: To our current knowledge, we use all ingredients within the FDA (United States Food & Drug Administration) regulations. The safety factor of using any product depends on each individual’s medical condition(s) and sensitivities. Without consulting your medical practitioner prior to use, all consumers assume responsibility for any risks or health hazards from using a product for the manufacturer’s intended purposes. We never recommend allowing a product to be used outside of its intended purposes (i.e. ingesting a product created for external purposes only). We are not licensed healthcare providers: we cannot share medical advice or medically approve a product for any individual’s condition. We can only offer sales advice and we always advise a physician’s pre-approval before using any product.
All Perma-Earth products are only to be used as suggested or implied by their listing descriptions and informational tabs. It is the sole responsibility of the consumer to educate themselves on every product’s ingredients and proper usage before purchase and to seek medical advice from their healthcare provider before use.
If pregnant, nursing, planning to become pregnant, or will use a product on any dependent, please consult with your licensed healthcare provider before using any products. We do have products intended for babies and approved by our own personal pediatricians in our baby shop section. Even in these cases, we still advise a consultation with your personal healthcare provider before using any product on yourself or a dependent. Again, we are not responsible for individual reactions due to a medical condition, allergy, or special sensitivity. We advise everyone to use precaution with trying a product on themselves or a dependent.
TRANSPARENCY
Please note that at Perma-Earth LLC, we pride ourselves on being fully transparent with all of our ingredients, unlike many companies that hide other ingredients under one name or do not disclose the full ingredients list. All ingredients used in the amounts regulated by the INCI (International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients) are clearly listed in every product’s online electronic listing descriptions and tabs via our ecommerce website at perma-earth.com (which you are viewing now). Consumers take the full risk of using the products as-intended by seller (whether suggested or implied) upon purchase.
TESTING
Furthermore, Perma-Earth LLC extensively tests their products in-house on their own limited personnel with their acknowledged consent. We do our absolute best to comply with the most up-to-date safety and usage requirements of each ingredient for the specific purposes of use or benefits intended from use. We also take great measures to maintain proper shelf-stability needs of the product to reduce or eliminate any possibility of microbial growth hazards derived from contamination during use or the natural environment within the specified use period from manufacture date. Please see each product’s expiration information contained in the online listing.
COMMUNICATION
Any consumer may contact us to request more information about suggested uses, specific ingredients of concern used in current formulations, or other manufacturing contact points at any time from us before or after purchase. To which we will do our best to relay the most accurate information to account for public safety concerns without compromising copyrights.
ALLERGENS
ALL PRODUCTS ARE PRODUCED AND STORED IN THE SAME FACILITY, OFTEN USING THE SAME EQUIPMENT CLEANED BETWEEN EACH USE. We cannot fully guarantee that especially sensitive allergic conditions such as to egg or dairy or gluten or latex are not cross-contaminated at a microscopic level. Please keep in mind that the epidermal system is not the same as the digestive system – many digestive allergens such as lactose or gluten intolerance only affects the internal digestive system only if and when ingested – please see your doctor for clarifications with your specific needs before purchase or use. If one has any known topical allergies/sensitivities to any of a product’s stated ingredients, we advise NOT to purchase or use that product.
UNIQUE REACTIONS
As stated prior, Perma-Earth takes all possible measures to pre-test every product on our own staff members and family members before offering a product for sale. Personal dissatisfactions or unique reactions experienced by consumers or their dependents are not the fault of the manufacturer (Perma-Earth LLC), as this is the consumer’s risk of responsibility to educate themselves on their unique sensitivities and to contact the company with any further questions.
For instance, if one has a rare reaction to a preservative, oil, or fragrance – this is a consumer’s sole risk of using the product being pre-informed of the product’s ingredients or description of use prior to purchase. One must also take into consideration the “inferred” use of an ingredient in another product that they have previously deemed safe for use… For instance, if one has no reaction to a “grapefruit scented with essential oils” product and yet has a reaction to an “grapefruit essential oil scented” product, that does not mean that only true grapefruit essential oil was used in the prior product, nor does this guarantee that one will not have a reaction to another grapefruit scented product, as everyone uses different ratios and sources. If one discovers a sensitivity to one of our ingredients, we suggest seeking medical advice and to contact us with as much detail as possible, including clear photographs for us to record and log. Please see our shop policies for further information of disclaimers and directions.
If any consumer has a unique sensitivity or reaction from using our products as intended (whether suggested or implied), please contact us for our records so that we may re-assess safety procedures and also consider changing the formulation if it does not impede with the original intent and purpose of the formula, or discontinue a product entirely. We record ALL reports of sensitivities and reactions for logging and review by the company periodically or on an as-needed basis to assess proper compensations and/or necessary changes to insure the safety and trust of our customers to the best of our abilities.

I love this clay mask. It smells so good. Leaves your skin so soft, and that little bit of extra self care every so often is so nice. I’m really bad about using face masks on a regular basis… I wish I remembered to use them more frequently because I feel like they really make a big difference. Love this one!

I’m in love with this mask! When I read the ingredients I already imagined it would be good, but it was much more than I thought. I mixed the powder with milk, applied it to the skin and after a while I washed my face and was very happy with how soft my face was. What about the smell? Omg My husband who never likes cosmetic smells for the first time in his life loved it. It smells wonderful and deeply moisturizes the skin. This product deserves more than 5 stars
