Brighten Cleanser & Mask

We know it’s a little unusual to wash your face with a powder, but it’s actually the simplest, most effective way to get the most out of a face wash. Because these cleanser / masks are water-less, you only get the good stuff. Brighten is a daily face wash, a gentle exfoliator, and a nutrient-rich face mask all in one. These facial superfruits even skin tone, draw out oil, clarify congestion, balance pH, tone, and lift impurities from the surface without leaving you dry. It’s a juggling act for sure, and these plant powders work wonders. Plus, with one less product on the shelf, you’ve got more room for what your really need—space.

THE PUREST FACE WASH ON THE PLANET

Many foaming face washes and creamy cleansers use surfactants to give you that 'squeaky clean’ feeling. Translation? It leaves skin dry and depleted. They’re often loaded with hard-to-pronounce preservatives, irritating alcohols, and synthetic binders, which can take a toll on your body’s immunity. Our cleanser/masks are water-free powder concentrates packed with finely ground herbs, fruits, and mineral-rich clays. For your daily face wash, simply add one part water to one part powder. Or boost your cleanser with an elixir that’s right for you. Feeling dry? Add a dash of milk or yogurt. Want to buff up your happy glow? Mix in fresh juice or green tea. Want to create a spa treatment at home? Blend in raw honey, avocado, or coconut oil. No other cleanser or soap can give you that kind of versatility.

BRIGHTEN PLANTS INCLUDE:

Pumpkin: Packed with fruit enzymes and alpha-hydroxy acids and loaded with antioxidants Vitamin A and C, Pumpkin helps soften and soothe the skin and boost collagen production. The zinc in pumpkin seeds is brilliant for acne sufferers and can help control oil production. It’s also high in essential fatty acids and Vitamin E, which are necessary to maintain good barrier function of the skin.*

Pomegranate: An effective anti-inflammatory fruit that’s high in essential fatty acids, pomegranate possesses potent anti-aging compounds, which help in stimulating keratinocyte cells (skin cells), thereby aiding cellular regeneration.*

Acai: Extremely high in vitamin C, acai helps fight free radical damage and supports youthful radiant skin. A 2006 study conducted by the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry found that acai had by far the highest oxygen radical scavenging activity of any food measured to date, strongly supporting the acai's antioxidant properties. Research has also found the acai berry to be one of the most beneficial natural ingredients for the treatment of hyperpigmentation.*

Mangosteen: A delicious fruit from South East Asia, mangosteen has a deep purple hard shell that, once peeled, reveals a sweet, tangy, meaty fruit. One of its superstar compounds is due to high levels of xanthones. These compounds are able to produce anti-inflammatory effects that can soothe and heal many common skin disorders, including acne and age spots. Research has also found that the xanthones in mangosteen inhibit viral infections and certain carcinogens that can age skin.*

Guava: This tropical fruit is said to help improve the tone of skin due to the astringency in its fruit. Because of this, it naturally tightens, lifts, and firms skin. And with its high vitamin content, carotenoids, and potassium, guava also naturally detoxifies the skin and wards off the onset of wrinkles.*
