Vasudha Clay Mask: Clay absorption with a creamy, comfortable feel

The role of this product

Vasudha combines kaolin and illite with an emulsion base. Clays can absorb material on the skin surface and temporarily reduce a shiny appearance.

How the formulation works

Glyceryl stearate citrate helps emulsification, while cetearyl alcohol, behenyl alcohol and cetyl palmitate contribute structure and slip. Glycerin and emollients cushion the clay system. Letting a mask crack and pull excessively is unnecessary; a refreshed feel should not require uncomfortable dryness.
