Our facial masks are made from all-natural ingredients that have been used in South Asian skincare routines for centuries. The ingredients are Green dhal (Vigna radiata), Besan (Cicer arietinum L.), Karboga Rice (Psoralea corylifolia), Dried Lemon Peel, Tanner’s Cassia (Senna auriculata), Rose Petals, Vetiver (Chrysopogon zizanioides), Spanish Cherry Flower (Mimusops elengi), White Turmeric (Curcuma zedoaria), Amla (Phyllanthus emblica), Dried Orange Peel, Fuller’s Earth (Multani Mitti), Sandalwood (Santalum Album), Kasturi Manjal (Curcuma aromatica). 

We encourage you to do your own research on any of the ingredients that you’d like to learn more about, but our Ingredients section covers most of everything you’d need to know.

The reason we sought out to create an all-natural, soothing formula is we were tired of the skincare cycle in which many skincare consumers find themselves trapped. Many big companies often put together a great-smelling, seemingly high-end product that simply doesn’t do what it’s supposed to do. Many often add parabens, silicones and drying alcohol to their products, which can harm your skin. Parabens, meant to be used as an artificial preservative, can cause skin irritation and even contact dermatitis. Silicones, used for hydration and giving products a silky smooth texture, can create a barrier that traps comedogenic (blackhead-causing) substances in your skin, especially if you are prone to breakouts. And drying alcohol, often used by manufacturers to lower costs by serving as a cheap solvent and quick-drying agent, can dry out your skin and disrupt its barrier. These three ingredients are common in products as they allow the first layer of the product being applied to dry down faster, allowing you to immediately put on another layer of something else, like makeup. 

These ingredients often present themselves as long chemical names on the packaging, and most customers would have a difficult time pronouncing them, much less be aware of their potential adverse effects. Skincare consumers may be enticed to use a product simply because of its attractive aesthetic, only to experience a breakout. Even worse, they may be told that there’s a “purging period” that they must endure before their skin gets better. After it doesn’t get better, they move on to look for a new product, and the cycle repeats.

Don’t get tricked into thinking your reaction to their chemicals is a purging period. “Purging” refers to using a skincare product that draws out the gunk and bacteria from your skin, causing it to rise to the top and appear as acne. Purging periods are temporary and can be a sign that the product is doing its job. But if you are having major breakouts, and you are experiencing itchy or irritated skin or significant discomfort, you aren’t in a purging period. You are experiencing an adverse reaction to the ingredients in that product, perhaps chemicals or artificial additives. And you definitely shouldn’t be fooled into thinking a great-smelling product automatically signifies effectiveness – many companies add artificial fragrances, which are proven to cause dermatitis. Check out the link below from the National Eczema Association on this topic.

You may be asking yourself why a skincare company would intentionally harm their customers’ skin. The answer is that this is not their direct intention. Harming your skin is a byproduct of their main intention, which is to entice you into buying their products and more importantly, continually returning and trying various products. 

That’s why we’re completely transparent with our products, and make sure we source clean, natural, and time-tested ingredients. There’s nothing we add to lure you in – the aroma from our facial masks is from a blend of fruits and flowers. After a brief forearm allergy test (the instructions for which are on our packaging), you’re good to go! As soon as you wash off your facial mask for the first time, you will immediately feel the difference in the softness of your skin. And given a bit of time and consistency, you’ll be able to see it too.

To be clear, we would never promote our facial masks as an alternative or substitute for medication. There are dermatological conditions out there that require real medication, and unfortunately cutting out stress and chemicals, as we do, may not always do the trick. If you are experiencing a significant skin issue, you should see a dermatologist. Our products may be able to help when used in addition to the course of treatment recommended by your doctor; if you have any concerns about use of our facial masks, be sure to check with them.
