Additive

The skin is the protective layer of your body. Things that you put on your skin are absorbed by your body. It is essential to treat the skin well to maintain its elasticity, moisture and vibrance. Each ingredient has its own unique effect on the skin. Select an additive; clay, exfoliant or nutrient.

We use clays from all over the world that are high in minerals. They draw out excess sebum or oils , toxins and dirt. Clays clear the pores of blockage and encourage a more regular flow.

Exfoliants such as oatmeal, loofah, pumice and seaweed are to used to slough off the dead skin layer, allowing for new layer to surface.

Nutrients such as almond oil and shea butter add the extra moisturizer that skin needs being exposed to environmental harshness.
