Key Benefits

Deep pore cleansing – Bentonite clay’s negative charge draws out positively charged impurities and excess oil
Dissolves stubborn makeup – Oil-based formula melts waterproof mascara and mineral sunscreen
Balanced-feeling skin – Jojoba oil’s profile is compatible with skin’s natural oils for a balanced feel
No greasy residue – Emulsifies completely with water for clean rinse

Gentle daily use – No harsh foaming agents or synthetic detergents
Triple-texture experience – Transforms from solid to oil to milk

The Science Behind Clay Cleansing

Bentonite clay carries a negative ionic charge that acts like a magnet for positively charged impurities and excess oils. When combined with botanical oils, you get deep pore cleansing power without the drying effect of traditional clay masks.
