This mineral-based cleanser is formulated for oily and acne-prone skin. The most abundant ingredients are clay-like materials that mix with water and have absorbent properties.

Minerals are one of the most effective moisturizing ingredients available. Contrary to common belief, mineral will not clog pores.

Besides clay there is silicone that mattifies the complexion and minimizes the look of pores. In addition yucca extract, aloe, oatmeal and clove oil content all have soothing and anti-inflammatory properties.

The antioxidant content is also impressive. The only concerning thing is that this cleanser contains quite a lot of essential oil which can cause skin irritation, even photodermatis, when overdosed.

Safety alert: Cautious
