This Mask truly knocks it out of the park in efficacy. It is incredibly hydrating, softening, and soothing. The ingredient deck is completely different than before, and the clay has been replaced altogether with roots and flowers. It is filled with plants that are rich in mucilage, humectants, saccharides – plants that support a deep lymph flow, healthy fascia, hydration, and plump, supple connective tissue health. Roses and Marshmallow now take center stage really making this mask a hydrating mask, as well as ideal for damaged barriers in need of repair. Antioxidants and healing phytonutrients are abundant as well from plants like Hibiscus, Cornflower and Buddleia. Reishi Mushroom is present, which adds polysaccharides for hydration, nutrient delivery into deeper layers of the skin, as well as boosting the surface immunity of our skin. The Tamanu Oil and Pomegranate Oil are still there offering a wide array of beneficial omegas and providing a gentle delivery system of many of these nutrients into the skin. Essential oils are micro-dosed in this Mask, such as German Chamomile for cooling inflammation relief and White Rose for barrier strengthening and repair. How to Use Apply 1 teaspoon or less of Gentle Mask to mask bowl, and trickle a bit of water in with your fingertips to preferred consistency. Mix with a brush into a slightly runny paste and allow to steep like tea for a few minutes. Allowing the Mask to steep will cause it to thicken and will further activate ingredients. Once ready to apply, moisten face and hands. Apply gently to face and neck with fingertips or preferably a mask brush. Leave on for 10-30 minutes, then rinse. Keep mask hydrated to keep mask active and to prevent drying on the skin. The longer the mask is left on the more frequently it will need to be rehydrated to stay active. Re-hydrate it with a brush, fingertips, or a mister bottle of water. Use within 12 months of opening and within 24 months of manufacture date on the bottom of the jar. Keep jar dry to prevent spoilage. Tip Laurel Says - Science: Essential Oils as medicine: There is so much controversy in the industry today over essential oils, and whether or not they should be utilized in skin care. The truth is that essential oils are misused. They are one of the most potent medicines that herbalists have in their arsenal, but trained herbalists would never recommend how they are being used today: undiluted, improper concentrations, ingested, etc. Our products are quite different. We use essential oils with great care and caution, and they are a part of the plant medicine that makes our formulas so effective. Contrary to some recent media articles, there are studies that show that certain essential oils like Rose can actually repair the skin barrier. It’s all about which essential oils are chosen and how they are used, as opposed to one extreme or the other. The total percentage of essential oils in our Gentle Mask is .25% (one quarter of one percent). There are whole plants that have higher percentages of essential oils than this. This is considered a ‘micro-dose’ and cannot have a negative impact on the skin’s barrier or the microbiome. In fact, we find that all our products that contain essential oils have a positive effect on both.
