Clay masks have been used since ancient times to draw out impurities and refresh the skin. Cruzan Cosmetics harnesses the deep cleansing properties of clay in their 100% vegan and cruelty-free Equa-Derm Clay Mask. This creamy, non-drying formula reveals a purified, balanced complexion using only plant-based ingredients.
In this post, we’ll explore the key benefits of clay for skincare. We’ll look at the plant extracts and oils in the Equa-Derm Clay Mask that make it gentle yet effective. And we’ll delve into what makes this product an exemplary organic, vegan skincare option.
The Purifying Powers of Clay for Skin
Clays are composed of aged volcanic ash that is rich in minerals like silica, iron, magnesium, calcium and potassium. Different colored clays contain varying blends of these mineral nutrients.
When mixed with water, tiny charged particles in clay help it draw out impurities from skin. This makes clay ideal for cleansing clogged pores, absorbing excess oils, and removing environmental pollutants from the skin’s surface.
Some key benefits provided by clay masks like Cruzan's Equa-Derm include:
- Deep pore cleansing to tackle blackheads and acne
- Regulation of oily skin by absorbing excess sebum
- Detoxification of impurities like makeup residue and pollution
- Tightening pores and improvement of skin texture
- Mineral nourishment from the clays themselves
Kaolin clay, also called white or China clay, is the primary clay used in the Equa-Derm Clay Mask. Its fine particle size makes it especially effective for penetrating into pores to extract debris.
Botanicals That Soothe and Protect
To keep the Equa-Derm Clay Mask gentle, Cruzan blends the kaolin clay with soothing botanical ingredients. These plant extracts work synergistically with the clay to nourish skin.
Organic aloe leaf juice provides hydration and a cooling effect to counter the drying impact clays can have. Meanwhile, vegetable glycerin attracts moisture from the air to keep skin soft.
Antioxidant-rich extracts of blueberry fruit, goji berry, and noni fruit infuse skin with vitamins and polyphenols. This helps defend against the damage free radicals and toxins can cause.
Plant oils like sunflower, moringa and meadowfoam add nourishing fatty acids to replenish the skin barrier. The oils’ emollient properties prevent over-drying of the skin post-cleansing.
Finally, vegetable-derived emulsifiers like cetearyl olivate help create the mask’s luxe creamy texture. This makes the Equa-Derm Clay Mask easy and enjoyable to apply.
