Milk & Red Sandalwood Facial Mask

PURIFIES PORES AND CALMS SKIN!
Used for centuries in the Indonesian herbal tradition, red sandalwood is a remedy for calming and cooling skin stressed by environmental aggression or skin conditions. This unique softening mask combines the exceptional soothing properties of red sandalwood with the softening benefits of pure milk. Milk’s natural exfoliating power in the form of lactic acid works with the skin’s own mechanism to gently refine and soften skin texture.
Fragrance-free. Suitable for oily, combination, and sensitive skin.
*Note: This is one of the only two JUARA Products not yet paraben-free. The other is the Glow-on-the-Go Travel Kit. The rest of the line is 100% Paraben-free.
Key Ingredients:
Milk
Milk protein has excellent water-binding properties, making this ingredient an ideal moisturizing agent. It also has film-forming capacity, which helps give skin radiance and a soft touch. When milk protein is hydrolyzed, its smaller components are also referred to as milk amino acids or casein amino acids. Part of the alpha hydroxy acid family (AHA), lactic acid is naturally found in milk and has intense hydrating benefits as well as exfoliating properties. By gently removing the dry, clean outermost layers of skin while moisturizing the new layers, lactic acid has the ability to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and help promote a radiant, more even-toned complexion.
Sandalwood
Sandalwood has been used in Southeast Asia for centuries as a topical anti-inflammatory agent to help treat skin conditions including acne, eczema, sunburn, or whenever skin suffers from itching and irritation. These calming and cooling properties have made sandalwood powder an ideal remedy for delicate and sensitive skin, or any skin type stressed by environmental aggression.
All Ingredients
Rice (Oryza sativa) Starch, Kaolin, Milk Powder, Red Sandalwood (Pterocarpus santalinus) Powder, Cetearyl Ethylhexanoate, Propylparaben, Methylparaben.
