Fruit & Earth: A Natural Hyaluronic Acid Facial Mask
Pink French Clay
Result of combining Red Illite and White Kaolin clays rather than being mined in a pink state (White Clay gently cleanses dirt, build-up, and excess oil while mildly exfoliating the skin and refining the complexion for a softer, clearer, smoother look).
Seaweed
Seaweed Powder is obtained from a type of brown algae called Ascophyllum nodosum, also known as kelp or rockweed.
Seaweed benefits include emollient and purifying properties due to a rich blend of nutrients including Vitamins B12 and E, amino acids, iodine, and phenols.
Hyaluronic Acid
Plant derived through fermentation. This high-profile compound is an integral part of the human skin extracellular matrix (ECM, the mass between the cells). Along with collagen and elastin, Hyaluronic acid forms the scaffolding of the dermal tissue. Its primary function is the hydration of the tissue. HA can attach and hold colossal amounts of water molecules. It prevents dermal dehydration, consecutive wrinkling, and sagging.
Aloe Vera
Mucopolysaccharides help in binding moisture into the skin. Aloe stimulates fibroblast which produces the collagen and elastin fibers making the skin more elastic and less wrinkled. It also has cohesive effects on the superficial flaking epidermal cells by sticking them together, which softens the skin. The amino acids also soften hardened skin cells and zinc acts as an astringent to tighten pores. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2763764/
Sea Buckthorn
Free radical scavenging and tissue regeneration properties.
Papaya
Papaya is excellent for balancing the oiliness of the skin & working as an exfoliant on dry areas. Papaya also is often used to give a rejuvenated look to the skin. Papaya contains Vitamin A, which helps to reveal the next layer of the skin and exposes a radiant complexion. Vitamin C is also an antioxidant with wonderful qualities that helps to smooth and soften the skin.
Guava
Guava is revered for both its vitamin content and its ability to slow the signs of aging. This is because Guava is very rich in Vitamin A, B and C, and it helps prevent day to day wear and tear of the skin.
Galactoarabinan (North American Larch Tree)
Arabinogalactan is an oligosaccharide consisting of arabinose and galactose monosaccharides. It is a prebiotic balancing skin microbiota.
A natural, gentle, non-irritating ingredient that is easily absorbed into the skin. It prevents natural moisture from evaporating (transepidermal water loss, or TEWL), provides long-lasting moisture, improves the skin's appearance and texture, smooths and treats wrinkles, and strengthens the skin's natural barriers.
Studies showed that Galactoarabinan stimulates dermal fibroblast activity and proliferation enhancing collagen and elastin fibers production and speeding up the wound healing process.
Like other oligosaccharides, Arabinogalactan also decreases trans-dermal water loss and enhances water-binding ability providing volume, smoothing expression lines, and increasing elasticity.
Citric Acid
This is used as a pH adjuster. Ideally our skin is a bit acidic and our beneficial microbiome thrives when our pH is balanced. It also allows some of the other ingredients in the formula to function fully and properly.
