Why Kale Deserves a Place in Your Skincare Routine
We’ve always believed that skincare should feel simple, intentional, and rooted in plants that truly nourish. Every ingredient we use has a purpose, chosen for what it offers your skin, not for trend appeal. That’s why our Clarifying Kale Mask begins with one of nature’s most powerful greens: kale.
When we were first formulating this mask, we kept coming back to kale because it offered everything we wanted in a single ingredient — clarity, calm, and genuine results.
Kale is one of nature’s most nutrient-dense plants, packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and phytonutrients that help bring the skin back into balance. It’s the perfect foundation for a mask that clarifies without stripping, refreshes without irritating, and leaves the skin calm, smooth, and genuinely renewed.
Why Kale Belongs in Skincare
Kale is rich in vitamins A, C, and K, chlorophyll, and antioxidants that support the skin’s natural renewal process. These compounds act at the surface level, helping to neutralize everyday oxidative stress from pollution and buildup, and supporting a fresher, more balanced look.
It’s especially helpful for combination or blemish-prone skin, yet gentle enough for sensitive types when used properly. Think of it as a green reset button for skin that needs a calm, clean slate.
A Thoughtful Blend of Plant Power
Our mask pairs air-dried kale with a blend of mineral clay and organic botanicals to purify and calm while keeping the skin’s moisture barrier happy.
Full ingredient list:
Montmorillonite (French Green Clay), Brassica Oleracea (Kale), Aloysia Citriodora (Lemon Verbena) Powder, Lonicera Japonica (Honeysuckle) Flowers, Azadirachta Indica (Neem Leaf) Powder*, Thymus Vulgaris (Thyme Leaf)*
*Organic**
Each ingredient plays a clear, purposeful role:
- French Green Clay (Montmorillonite): Helps draw out excess oil and surface buildup while leaving skin balanced and refreshed.
- Kale (Brassica Oleracea): Provides surface-level antioxidant support to help the skin feel calm, balanced, and renewed.
- Lemon Verbena: Adds a light, natural freshness and mild toning effect for a clean, revived feel.
- Honeysuckle Flower: Helps soothe and comfort the skin while providing antioxidant protection.
- Neem Leaf: Supports a clearer-looking complexion while keeping skin balanced and comfortable.
- Thyme Leaf: Offers purifying benefits that help keep pores feeling clean and refreshed.
Together, these ingredients create a balanced synergy, clarifying and softening the skin without tightness or dryness.
Why We Use Air-Dried Kale Powder
We chose air-dried kale powder over juice or extract because it stays true to the whole plant. Air drying is a gentle process that preserves kale’s color and a broad range of phytonutrients without harsh heat or chemicals. When you mix the mask with water, those compounds rehydrate and activate, offering fresh, surface-level antioxidant support in every use.
A Small Ritual for Clearer, Calmer Skin
To use, mix a small scoop of powder with water (or your favorite hydrosol) until it forms a creamy, yogurt-like paste.
Apply evenly over clean skin, avoiding the eye area.
Let it sit for about 10–15 minutes, just until the edges begin to dry.
Be sure not to allow the mask to fully harden or crack; that tight, pulling that can happen when the mask fully dries can actually dehydrate and irritate the skin and even cause micro-tears.
For a softer, barrier-friendly experience, you can:
- Add a few drops of your favorite facial oil to the mixture to buffer the clay’s intensity, or
- Lightly mist your face once or twice with our Replenishing Toner while the mask is on to keep it from drying completely.
Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and follow with toner and facial oil to seal in moisture.
Use once or twice per week (max) as part of your regular routine or less often, anytime your skin feels congested or in need of a refresh.
