Le Paillis de Jardin ‘Garden Mulch’ Vitamin C Emulsion Facial Mask
30ml
The Formula:
This vibrant polishing emulsion facial mask embodies our joyful explorations into naturally derived vitamin C and the remarkable properties of bioregional plant constituents.
Crafted with house-distilled essences and slow ferments, each ingredient is carefully selected for its exceptional restorative and efficacious properties. The rich colour of this formula, a dappled landscape of ethereal blue-greens with flecks of bright marigold, reflects the potent botanicals within, promising a ritual that brings you into deepest reciprocity and communion with the land while radiantly nourishing your complexion for the season.
Featuring a treacle texture that is gloriously gooey with a gentle exfoliation and a nourishing and dewy finish. This softening, exfoliating and regenerating mask formula is suitable for All Complexions.
The Ritual:
Our propolis honey-based mask may naturally firm as it cools—one of the many beautiful nuances of working with raw, unprocessed ingredients. To awaken its full potential, scoop a small dollop into your palm and add a few drops of water or Fallen Fruit Luminous Nectar Drops. Warm the blend gently between your fingertips until it softens into a silky, spreadable consistency, then apply to a damp or freshly misted face.
You may choose to:
• Massage it in with slow, circular movements for a more active ritual and gentle exfoliation.
• Let it rest quietly, allowing the roots, resins, and botanicals to draw out impurities and infuse the skin with renewed luminosity.
Follow your skin’s invitation—each use may take a different path.
As always, avoid the eye area and rinse with warm water when complete.
