Volcaninc ash is rich in minerals and is used in skin care as an antioxidant and antibacterial exfoliant to help clarify skin, removing dirt, impurities and excess sebum. It offers protection to the skin barrier, while its antimicrobial properties help heal skin and help calm inflammatory skin conditions. The mineral-rich Kisameet glacial clay in British Columbia’s Kisameet Bay has been used for centuries by the indigenous Heiltsuk peoples for its cleansing, nourishing and healing properties. While nourishing the skin with an abundance of micro- and macro-minerals, the clay works to strengthen the skin barrier and maintain a pH balance that banishes dirt and impurities. Salicylic acid is a beta hydroxy acid [BHA] derived from the bark of the willow tree. Because it is oil-soluble, salicylic acid can penetrate more deeply into the layers of the skin than other exfoliants, unclogging pores and dissolving skin debris and (at a lower concentration) sloughing off seborrheic dermatitis. For this reason, it is a common ingredient in formulas that target acne, especially whiteheads and blackheads. Niacinamide, a highly effective form of the essential nutrient vitamin B3, visibly minimizes enlargened pores and improves skin texture thanks to its ability to reduce and balance the overproduction of sebum. Its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties reduce inflammation and moderate acne. The skin is strengthened by an increase in collagen and hyaluronic acid production while the skin´s barrier is improved to lock in moisture and hydration, reducing signs of ageing, plumping fine lines, and significantly lessening skin discolouration as well as protecting from free radicals and other environmental pollutants. Niacinamide can also have a beneficial impact on calming rosacea and fading sun spots, hyperpigmentation and melasma.
