Everything you need to know about Dr. Botanicals Charcoal Superfood Mattifying Face Mask

What it is

The Charcoal Superfood Mattifying Face Mask is a skincare product developed under Dr Botanicals' Apothecary collection, known for its vegan-certified, all-natural formulations. This particular mask is designed to assist in the removal of dead skin cells from the skin's surface. It utilizes activated charcoal powder for its exfoliating properties and incorporates shea butter to provide moisturizing and protective benefits to the skin, contributing to a smooth and mattified appearance.

Key ingredients and their functions

• Charcoal Powder - exfoliating agent
• Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter - moisturizing agent
• Kaolin - absorbent
• Glycerin - humectant
• Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil - emollient
• Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil - antioxidant
• Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride - conditioning agent
• Glyceryl Stearate SE - emulsifier

How it works

The face mask operates by combining the exfoliating properties of activated charcoal powder, which helps in the removal of dead skin cells, with the moisturizing and nourishing attributes of shea butter. Kaolin, an absorbent component, aids in managing excess oils on the skin’s surface, while glycerin acts as a humectant to maintain moisture balance. Sweet almond oil and grape seed oil function as emollients and provide antioxidative protection. Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride serves as a conditioning agent that enhances the overall texture of the mask, and Glyceryl Stearate SE blends the ingredients effectively. These elements together contribute to an even and mattified skin appearance.
