Featured Ingredients

Natural Oceanic Clay:

• Detoxifying:  Rich in minerals and rare elements, this oceanic clay is highly-charged, meaning it carries a strong  interactive force that makes it very reactive; and therefore, a powerful ion exchanger.  When the clay is applied to the skin, the impurities, which are positively charged, get bound to the clay’s powerful negative charge much like a magnet and ultimately get rinsed away with the removal of the clay.
• Exfoliating: the fine colloidal size particles of the clay will enhance the removal of dead surface skin cells. The adsorptive and ion exchange capacities of the natural oceanic clay could also lead to the more efficient removal from the skin surface of inorganic and organic cationic residues from sweat and sebum.  It exfoliates the skin, promotes blood circulation and stimulates the regeneration of damaged or troubled skin
• Rehydrating: The clay also uses its osmotic strength to pull moisture up from deep inner tissues to hydrate the skin.  Unlike the other cleansing agents, this oceanic clay deeply cleans the skin without drying it but making it more moisturized.

Cucumber Extract:

Seamollient™
