Composition of the organic certified base peel-off mask formula

Diatomeous earth

Diatomaceous earth is made of fossilized unicellular micro-algae named diatoms. Diatoms live in seas all around the world, sometimes in extreme conditions (the wider diatom population would live under ice sheet). This organism is protected thanks to a silica rich capsule. Silica is a constitutive element of human cells and tend to decrease with age. Cell aging could be explained by a decreasing of silica concentration. Studies show that silicon deprivation has damaging effects on tissue cells while its supplementation has beneficial effects on them.

Alginate

Alginate is a polysaccharide from natural origin, found in large quantities in brown and red seaweeds. Alginate is well-known and widely used in cosmetic for its various properties :
-antioxidant : could help to prevent skin ageing
-wound healing : could enhance cell regeneration.

Organic corn starch

Corn starch is a fine powder with particularly attractive water and oil absorbing properties. It can retain water at the skin surface and scalp as absorbing excess sebum. It is therefore an anti-drying and anti-shine ally.
