rhassoul clay + white turmeric + raw cocoa

This transformational cleansing mask is packed full of precious superfoods, roots, and adaptogens - raw cacao, ceylon cinnamon, cardamom, chaga mushroom, + maca – which encourages circulation, stimulates cell renewal, and deep cleans leaving your skin radiant. Kaolin and rhassoul clays, activated once wet, create an energetic polarity that pulls dirt, toxins and debris from pores; ideal for sensitive skin without disrupting natural oil balance. Treasured white turmeric (mango ginger) from a Hawaiian family farm brightens skin, eases inflammation and provides protective phytochemicals. Vital for collagen production, camu camu is nature’s highest source of vitamin C, combined with sodium bicarbonate to refine and balance skin pH. Detoxifying sea salt keeps skin clear and bright alongside calming rose and marshmallow

RASA is Sanskrit for “essence” or “sap”, describing the essence of human experience or the full flavor of life; Rasa describes a state of complete absorption, and in this state, the mind is quieted and feeling takes over the body. 

Get to know your skin

use:  intuitively use as much as you need, everyone’s skin is unique. We recommend adding 2 teaspoons or less of dry powder to a masking bowl or palm of hand, and gradually add water to create a pudding like paste. Allow powder to absorb liquid for about 10 seconds to activate ingredients.

Apply to slightly damp skin and leave on for 5-15 minutes. You might experience a tingling sensation – this is ok! Facial skin undergoes a purifying deep clean with weekly use. Keep mask from fully drying on the skin so ingredients remain active and skin isn’t overdried. Pro-tip:  a spritz of hydrosol is perfect for this!

Rinse gently with warm water, finish with cool water and pat dry.

highly recommend:  devote time for silence, prayer, meditation, or dancing to really great music during your masking ritual, and follow-up with a good misting of your favorite Hydrosol and a few drops of RESTORE Beauty Oil.

For use as an exfoliating cleanser when time doesn't allow for the full masking experience, simply add 1 teaspoon cleansing powder to your hand with an equal amount of water and apply to face. Massage in gentle, circular motions, then leave on for about 1 -2 minutes and rinse thoroughly.  

how I use this in my weekly ritual: 
I tend to use the RASA Cacao Mask in the shower as more of a cleansing exfoliant, and it makes rinsing off a breeze. When I go for the full masking experience, I've been loving the Rose Geranium Hydrosol to keep moist and then when I'm ready to rinse, I take a steamy washcloth, apply to my face and relax for another minute!

Be sure to keep jar dry to prevent spoilage.                                                                            Use non-metal spoons/bowls/utensils when working with clay due to reactivity.

*OILY SKIN:  this cleanser is excellent for pulling and adhering to debris and excess oil. Try mixing powder with Chamomile Hydrosol, witch hazel or aloe vera for a clearing, astringent effect.

*DRY SKIN:  try mixing powder with Rose Hydrosol, honey, aloe vera or whole milk organic yogurt for a deeply moisturizing effect, especially for the changing season
