*Receive a FREE wooden spoon with purchase*
Skin Type: Dry, Mature, Sensitive, Normal
Our innovative dual action powder facial wash is a gentle yet effective cleanser (or face mask!) that exfoliates and cleans, leaving your skin feeling fresh, smooth, and rejuvenated. With only four ingredients, it activates with water, creating a creamy lather thanks to the moisturizing organic coconut milk powder and calming organic colloidal oatmeal. Kaolin clay deeply cleans and absorbs impurities and extra oils, all without that tight feel so your skin’s natural moisture barrier is unharmed. Papaya is rich in antioxidants and excellent at balancing oiliness in the skin. Its powerful enzyme papain is a gentle skin exfoliator that removes dead cells and brightens the skin. An abundance of beta-carotene and plant compounds found in papaya improves the skin's glow and complexion. Depending on your purpose and how much water you add, you can use it as a purifying face mask, a creamy cleanser or even a gentle body exfoliant.

Coconut Milk Powder
Coconut milk powder is rich in nutrients like vitamins C, E, and B, as well as minerals such as magnesium and potassium, making it a beneficial ingredient for skincare. Its moisturizing properties hydrate the skin, leaving it soft and supple. Additionally, the fatty acids in coconut milk powder help to nourish and protect the skin's barrier, while its anti-inflammatory properties can soothe irritation and promote a healthy complexion. Its gentle nature makes it suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.
Colloidal Oatmeal
Colloidal oatmeal in a facial cleanser offers numerous benefits for the skin. Its finely ground oat particles gently exfoliate, removing dead skin cells and unclogging pores, leading to a smoother complexion. Its anti-inflammatory properties soothe irritated skin, making it ideal for sensitive or acne-prone skin. Additionally, colloidal oatmeal helps to maintain the skin's natural barrier, retaining moisture and preventing dryness, leaving the skin feeling hydrated and refreshed after cleansing.
Kaolin Clay
Kaolin clay is a gentle yet effective ingredient renowned for its ability to cleanse and nourish dry, sensitive skin. Its fine texture gently removes impurities and dead skin cells without stripping away the skin's natural oils, making it ideal for delicate skin types. Kaolin clay's mild exfoliating properties help to promote a smoother, more radiant complexion, while its soothing and calming effects reduce redness and irritation often associated with dry, sensitive skin. Additionally, kaolin clay's ability to draw out toxins and absorb excess oil provides a deep cleanse without causing further dryness or discomfort. Overall, kaolin clay in a face cleanser offers gentle purification and hydration, leaving dry, sensitive skin feeling clean, refreshed, and revitalized.
Papaya Fruit Extract
Papaya fruit extract offers a range of benefits for the skin. Rich in enzymes like papain, it gently exfoliates the skin, removing dead cells and promoting a brighter, more even complexion. Its natural fruit acids help to unclog pores, reduce acne, and minimize the appearance of blemishes and scars. Papaya extract also contains vitamins A, C, and E, which nourish the skin, boost collagen production, and protect against environmental damage, leaving the skin looking youthful and radiant. Additionally, its anti-inflammatory properties soothe irritation and redness, making it suitable for sensitive skin types.
Maltodextrin
In our clay cleansers, maltodextrin plays a crucial role as part of the composition of coconut milk powder. Its primary function is to prevent clumping, ensuring a smooth and even texture in the final product. Organic maltodextrin, a natural polysaccharide derived from plants (in this case, tapioca), acts as a stabilizing agent, absorbing excess moisture and maintaining the powder's free-flowing consistency. This helps in the easy blending and application of the cleanser, enhancing the user experience by providing a consistent and effective skincare routine.
A note about the ingredient maltodextrin- due to switching suppliers for our coconut milk powder, maltodextrin will now be listed as an ingredient as it is an ingredient listed in the organic coconut milk powder we purchase. As we make the transition, your order may have a cleanser without maltodextrin as an ingredient on the product label. This is because we still have stock left with the previous coconut milk powder and are phasing it out. Maltodextrin functions as a moisturizer and texture enhancer, preventing clumping of the coconut milk powder.
Why Powdered Clay Cleansers?
Powdered clay cleansers offer a unique and effective way to cleanse and revitalize the skin. These cleansers typically contain natural clays such as the kaolin in this cleanser, which possess remarkable absorbent properties. When mixed with water, the powder transforms into a creamy paste, gently exfoliating the skin and drawing out impurities, excess oil, and toxins from deep within the pores. The fine texture of the powder ensures a gentle yet thorough cleanse, making it suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and acne-prone skin. Additionally, powdered clay cleansers often include botanical extracts and vitamins, such as the papaya featured in our product, that further enhance their nourishing and soothing benefits. Regular use of powdered clay cleansers can leave the skin feeling refreshed, purified, and rejuvenated. As an added bonus, their longer shelf life and reduced environmental footprint make it a sustainable choice to include in your skincare routine.
Double Duty- Cleanser to Clay Mask
Using your Kaolin & Papaya Cleanser as a mask offers a multi-purpose skincare benefit, combining the gentle cleansing power of kaolin clay with the rejuvenating properties of papaya enzymes and the calming effects of oatmeal. When used as a mask, this cleanser provides a more intensive treatment, allowing the active ingredients to work deeper into the skin and maximize their effectiveness. Perfect for a weekly self-care ritual, it helps to maintain clear skin while addressing issues like dullness and congestion. Get creative and make your own unique combinations by adding yogurt, rose water and/or honey to customize the mask for individual concerns.
Using a wooden spoon for handling
Wooden spoons are recommended for handling clay powders because they are non-reactive, ensuring the purity and integrity of the clay. Unlike metal utensils, wooden spoons do not introduce any foreign substances that could potentially affect the properties or performance of the clay. Additionally, their smooth surface minimizes the risk of abrasion, preserving the delicate texture and consistency of the clay powder.
