Key Ingredients and Benefits
The "mud mask" effect is achieved through a powerful blend of ingredients:
White Clay (Kaolin): This is the primary ingredient that gives it a "mud" or clay-like consistency. Kaolin clay is excellent at absorbing excess sebum, mattifying the skin, and drawing out impurities without being overly harsh.
Salicylic Acid: A beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) that penetrates deep into pores to exfoliate and fight against blackheads, whiteheads, and acne.
Zinc Derivative: This ingredient is known for its purifying and sebum-regulating properties, helping to control shine and prevent new blemishes from forming.
Pumice: These are fine, natural exfoliating particles that provide the scrubbing action, helping to remove dead skin cells and refine the skin's texture.
