*Receive a FREE wooden spoon with purchase*
Skin Type: Oily, Acne-Prone, Combination, Sensitive, Normal
Our innovative dual action powder facial cleanser(or face mask!) gently exfoliates and cleanses, leaving your skin feeling fresh, smooth, and rejuvenated. When activated with water, it creates a creamy lather thanks to the moisturizing organic coconut milk powder and calming organic colloidal oatmeal. Rhassoul clay is enriched with minerals like silica, magnesium, and potassium. It is a natural cleanser that removes excess oils and dead skin from the skin’s surface, clearing clogged pores and allowing them to breathe. Studies show that rhassoul clay increases skin elasticity, reduces blackheads, and lessens skin dryness and flakiness. Green tea has powerful antibacterial properties that balance oils and unclog pores without stripping your skin barrier. The polyphenols in green tea fight against bacterial growth that causes acne while antioxidants brighten, soften and detox, leaving your complexion radiant. 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
Organic 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.
Rhassoul Clay
Rhassoul clay, sourced from the Atlas Mountains of Morocco, is a mineral-rich clay known for its exceptional cleansing properties, particularly for oily skin types. When used as a face cleanser, rhassoul clay effectively absorbs excess oil, dirt, and impurities from the skin's surface, leaving it feeling deeply cleansed and refreshed. Its high mineral content, including silica, magnesium, and potassium, helps to balance oil production, reducing shine and preventing clogged pores. Additionally, rhassoul clay gently exfoliates the skin, promoting cell turnover and revealing a smoother, more refined complexion. Its natural astringent properties tighten pores, while its soothing effects calm inflammation and irritation often associated with oily skin. It offers a purifying and mattifying experience, leaving oily skin feeling clean, balanced, and revitalized.
Green Tea Extract
Green tea extract is a powerhouse ingredient for acne-prone skin. Its high concentration of antioxidants, particularly catechins like EGCG, helps to combat inflammation and reduce sebum production, effectively preventing and treating acne breakouts. The antibacterial properties of green tea powder target acne-causing bacteria, promoting clearer skin and preventing future flare-ups. Additionally, its gentle exfoliating action removes dead skin cells and unclogs pores, while soothing any existing irritation. Green tea powder also contains tannins, which help to tighten pores and refine the skin's texture, resulting in a smoother, more even complexion. Overall, incorporating green tea into your skincare routine can help to balance oil production, reduce acne, even out skin tone and improve your overall complexion.
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 rhassoul clay in our product, 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, like the green tea in our cleanser, further enhancing 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 Rhassoul & Green Tea Cleanser as a mask offers a multi-purpose skincare benefit, combining the balancing mineral-rich power of rhassoul clay with the antibacterial properties of green tea 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.
