The green clay mask is a cream based mask utilising the emulsifying system Montanov 68. The base of the emulsion contains detoxifying green tea hydrosol known for its ability to protect against free radical damage. I have used hydrating cupuacu butter to draw and seal moisture to the skin. It is fragranced with refreshing rosemary and peppermint essential oils. I made two versions of this mask, both very similar. The first contains French green clay, kaolin and bentonite clay. The second is with only green clay.

This mask was made in February 2022 and has approximately 6 months real life stability testing.
