A mask enriched with bamboo charcoal, rooibos tea and willowherb to target impurities and keep pores clear. Bilberry, white tea and pomegranate impart antioxidants for a healthy glow, while quince helps limit shine and reduce the visible appearance of pores.
Suitable for normal skin types, especially oily
Close to nature?
No artificial colouring and the company is carbon neutral. Does contain ceteareth-20 (mid range safety grading) and phenoxyethanol (much better than parabens but still low allergy or irritation rating)
