And more:
- it contains Indian Linden oil (also known as neem oil), which is an extremely interesting oil. It contains a wealth of natural plant compounds called flavonoids and polyphenols, which have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. Therefore, the oil helps fight skin infections ranging from acne to yeast infections, eczema and psoriasis. The high amount of fatty acids in Indian lime oil also prevents and heals acne scars. It is nourishing and emollient, so it soothes irritation and softens the skin. The oil is also non-comedogenic, removing skin impurities and tightening pores. It can be used alone or in combination with other natural products, such as clay. However, it has one less desirable property: an extremely strong smell, which can even smell bad to some! And yet it carries with it so many beneficial properties that we can forgive it,
- it contains white clay, which is a natural clay used in cosmetics because it can absorb excess oil from the surface of the skin. This can help reduce shine and give the skin a matt appearance. It is mainly used to draw oil out of the skin, removing dirt and other impurities from the pores. This is why kaolin is a popular ingredient in clay masks for oily and acne-prone skin. White clay is often used to reduce irritation and redness. This property has not yet been fully explored. It is good to bear in mind that white clay can also dry out the skin, which can cause dryness and irritation. If your skin is irritated, white clay should not be your main skin soothing product. It is also used in exfoliating products as it forms a paste with very fine particles. These particles serve as a gentle abrasive that can exfoliate the top layers of the skin and remove dead skin cells, make-up, excess oil, dirt and other impurities that may have accumulated on the surface during the day,
- contains powdered activated charcoal, which has an extremely large active surface area, making it suitable for trapping micro-particles such as dust, dirt, chemicals, toxins and bacteria. It is suitable for deep cleansing of the skin and its pores.
- It contains other selected natural oils in an extremely lubricating and rich combination,
- is prepared following a careful process to preserve the naturally occurring ingredients in all the selected ingredients.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS
Neem oil (INCI: Melia azadirachta seed oil)
Neem oil is an extremely interesting oil: it contains a wealth of natural plant compounds called flavonoids and polyphenols, which have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. This is why the oil helps fight skin infections ranging from acne to yeast infections, eczema and psoriasis. The high amount of fatty acids in Indian lime oil also prevents and heals acne scars. It is nourishing and emollient, so it soothes irritation and softens the skin. The oil is also non-comedogenic, removing skin impurities and tightening pores. It can be used alone or in combination with other natural products, such as clay. However, it has one less desirable property: an extremely strong smell that some find highly unpleasant. However, its healing and protective powers work like magic so the smell should be forgiven.
MY BLACK FACE CLEANSER contains certified organic cold-pressed neem oil.
Sweet almond oil (INCI: Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil)
Sweet almond oil is rich in vitamin E, squalene, glycosides and ß-sitosterol, so it has the power to smooth and nourish the skin. We like to use it as a massage oil because of its pleasant lubricity as it absorbs slowly into the skin. At the same time, it has the ability to retain moisture in the skin. It is a light oil, suitable for sensitive, irritated or dry skin.
MY BLACK FACE CLEANSER contains certified organic cold-pressed sweet almond oil.
GLYCERIN (INCI: Glycerin)
Glycerol, also called glycerol or glycerine, is a simple polyol. A polyol is an organic compound containing several hydroxyl or OH groups. This structure allows glycerol to act as a humectant. A humectant draws moisture from the air into the upper layers of the skin, thereby improving water content and hydration. Due to its low molecular weight, glycerin can penetrate deep into the skin and improve moisture at deeper levels than other humectants. It is also a component of the skin's natural moisturising factor (NMF). It plays a pivotal role in maintaining skin's moisture balance, helping it keep smooth and comfortable even in drier climates.
MY BLACK FACE CLEANSER contains certified organic palm-oil free glycerin.
Decyl glucoside (INCI: Decyl Glucoside)
Decyl glucoside is a naturally occurring surfactant used in shampoos, body washes, detergents and liquid soaps. Surfactants are a series of ingredients that help to remove dirt and oil from the skin, thus rinsing it away. Decyl glucoside also has the ability to create a foamy lather, giving a pleasant sensory experience. As it is gentle on the skin compared to some of the other surfactants used, decyl glucoside is a good choice for sensitive skin types. Decyl glucoside is derived from vegetable sources of fats, alcohols and sugars, such as those found in coconut and palm oil, and corn sugar.
CAPB (INCI: Cocamidopropyl Betaine)
CAPB is a surfactant derived from renewable raw materials. It is a synthetic form of betaine and its main function in the product is as a surfactant or cleaning ingredient. It is well tolerated by both skin and mucous membranes. In surfactant mixtures, it has a slightly thickening and bactericidal effect. CAPB is an excellent surfactant for shampoos, shower gels and bubble baths.
Vitamin E (INCI: Tocopherol)
Vitamin E is added to MY BLACK FACE CLEANSER to protect all greases from deteriorating too quickly or becoming rancid. Although it has other good properties in addition to its antioxidant properties, it is present in this product in such a concentration that it can be extremely protective towards the selected fats.
Kaolin clay (INCI: Kaolin)
Kaolin clay is a natural clay and is used in cosmetics because it can absorb excess oil from the skin's surface. This can help reduce shine and give the skin a matt appearance. It is mainly used to draw oil out of the skin, removing dirt and other impurities from the pores. This is why kaolin is a popular ingredient in clay masks for oily and acne-prone skin. Kaolin clay is often used to reduce irritation and redness. This property has not yet been fully explored. It is good to bear in mind that kaolin clay can also dry out the skin, which can cause dryness and irritation. If your skin is irritated, kaolin clay should not be your main product for soothing the skin. It is also used in exfoliating products as it forms a paste with very fine particles. These particles serve as a gentle abrasive that can exfoliate the top layers of the skin and remove dead skin cells, make-up, excess oil, dirt and other impurities that may have accumulated on the surface during the day.
Active charcoal (INCI: Charcoal Powder)
Activated charcoal in the form of powder has an extremely large active surface, so it is suitable for catching micro particles such as dust, dirt, chemicals, toxins and bacteria. Therefore, it is suitable for deep cleansing of the skin and its pores.
Diatomaceous Earth (INCI: Diatomaceous Earth)
Diatomaceous earth is a type of dust made from the sediment of fossilised algae. Because the cells of these algae contained a lot of silica, the dried sediment extracted from these fossils also contains a very high amount of it. These sediments are found all over the world. Today, there are many uses for diatomaceous earth, from construction to improving the health of skin, nails, teeth, bones and hair. In cosmetics, it is mainly used to remove unwanted dead skin cells.
Tea tree essential oil (INCI: Melaleuca Alternifolia Leaf Oil)
The essential oil of tea myrtle (or homemade tea tree) has an effective proven antibacterial, antifungal and anti-inflammatory properties. Therefore, it is very suitable for cleansing and treatment of oily as well as damaged skin.
MY BLACK FACE CLEANSER contains certified organic tea tree essential oil.
Blood orange essential oil (INCI: Citrus aurantium dulcis peel oil)
Like the oranges from which it is extracted, it has a fresh, sweet citrus scent. The scent of the oil makes the application of skincare products such as lotions and creams more pleasant. One of the greatest benefits of citrus peel oil for the skin is its ability to help exfoliate the skin. It is high in AHAs (alpha hydroxy acids) which allow it to act as an exfoliant and reduce the effects of sun damage on the skin. The oil also helps to strengthen and thicken the outer layer of the skin, smooth fine lines and wrinkles and reduce dryness and flaking.
MY BLACK FACE CLEANSER contains certified organic cold-pressed blood orange essential oil.
