Clay Face Masks
Just Clay, Oats, Honey, and What Your Skin Actually Needs
The thing about powdered masks: you get to decide. Water for simple. Honey for sticky-sweet. Green tea when you're feeling virtuous. Milk when your face needs gentler. Every time you mix, it's the freshest version possible—no preservatives sitting in a jar for months, no guessing what's actually still active.

These aren't the clay masks that crack your face into a permanent scowl. Coconut powder, kaolin clay, ground oats, honey. The Calming one has lavender. Clarity gets pink clay and buttermilk. Sea+Tea brings kelp and green tea. All three get made in our Owings Mills lab in batches small enough that we know exactly what went in.
The bowls people mix them in vary wildly. Some keep a dedicated ceramic dish. Others use whatever's clean. The ratio's forgiving—more powder for thick, more liquid for spreadable. It dries but doesn't suffocate. Rinses clean. Leaves skin that feels like you actually did something, not like you just smeared expensive mud around for Instagram.
Mix With Whatever Makes Sense
Water's the obvious choice. Honey makes it stickier and more conditioning. Milk or yogurt for sensitive days. Green tea if you're already brewing some. Aloe vera gel straight from the bottle. The powder keeps indefinitely, so you're never locked into one method.
Made in Maryland, Minimal Ingredients
Small-batch production in our USDA-standard Owings Mills facility. Coconut powder, clay (white kaolin, pink kaolin, bentonite, or Moroccan lava depending on the formula), ground oats, honey powder. Lavender in Calming. Buttermilk in Clarity. Green tea and kelp in Sea+Tea. That's it.
Three Formulas, Different Needs
Calming for faces that react to everything—lavender, white clay, oats, gentler all around. Clarity for oil and breakouts—pink clay, buttermilk powder, more draw. Sea+Tea for everyone else—green tea, kelp, balanced clay blend. None of them strip. All of them rinse clean.
Actually Smells Like the Ingredients
Open the jar and it smells like oats. Or lavender if it's Calming. Or faintly like tea if it's Sea+Tea. Not perfume pretending to be botanicals. The scent you get is what's actually in there—ground plants, clay minerals, nothing synthesized.
Dry Mask FAQs
Start with a 2:1 ratio—two parts powder to one part liquid. You can always add more of either. Some people like it thick enough to stay put. Others want it spreadable like yogurt. Mix in a small bowl with a non-metal spoon until it's smooth.
Sea+Tea works for most combination situations. Or get two and spot-treat—Clarity on the oily zones, Calming on the dry patches. The powder format makes it easy to use different masks on different areas without wasting product.
No, it's honey powder mixed with maltodextrin—adds the conditioning properties without the actual stickiness. Everything rinses clean with warm water and a washcloth. No residue, no film, no need to scrub.
Calming was specifically formulated for sensitive skin. No fragrance oils, no dyes, no preservatives. Just lavender powder, white clay, oats, and honey. That said, if you react to any of those base ingredients, obviously skip it.
The oats and honey help prevent that desert-dry feeling most clay masks leave behind. Leave it on 10-15 minutes—long enough to dry but not so long it's pulling moisture out. Follow with whatever moisturizer you normally use.
Depends on how much face you're covering and how thick you go. Most people get 8-12 full-face applications from the 1oz jar. More if you're just doing T-zone or spot treating.
No. It just sits there being clay and oats. Dries gradually. Might feel slightly tight as it dries. No bubbling, no tingling, no "is this supposed to burn?" moments. Just absorbs oil, sits on dead skin cells, comes off when you wash it.
