Exfoliate your skin thanks to natural exfoliants that leave the skin soft, smooth and moisturized with a delectable aroma.
The inspiration behind the formula for the 🌵Cactus + Copal Oro Facial Exfoliator is deeply rooted in the natural resources of the enchanting Mexican desert. The creators have drawn inspiration from the traditional healing ingredients found in this region, guided by the belief that "what grows together goes together." This philosophy is reflected in the careful pairing of botanical extracts that are indigenous to the area.
Cactus: Contrary to the common perception of cacti as prickly and to be avoided, the Opuntia Ficus-Indica (Prickly Pear, Indian Fig, Nopal) Extract used in this exfoliator is packed with soothing and moisturizing properties. Historically, it was even utilized by the Aztecs for skin health. The resilience of cacti in surviving harsh desert conditions suggests potential benefits for skin hydration. The jelly-like substance within the cactus contains a concentration of moisture, high levels of antioxidants, Vitamin E, and essential fatty acids. These components not only keep the cactus hydrated but also offer a cooling and moisturizing effect on the skin. The antioxidants present in cactus help calm inflammation, contributing to maintaining skin elasticity.
Copal: Copal, an aromatic resin extracted from certain species of the Burseraceae family, provides a therapeutic aroma to the exfoliator. Beyond its pleasant aroma, copal has anti-inflammatory, antioxidative, and antineoplastic properties..
Texture and Aroma: The exfoliator boasts a buttery and concentrated texture with small and coarse granules, ensuring effectiveness without being harsh on the skin. The aroma is described as therapeutic, blending minty and herbaceous essential oils. This unique aroma provides a soothing and refreshing experience.
Skin Concerns: The Cactus + Copal Oro Facial Exfoliator is designed for all skin types, especially beneficial for combination and dry skin. Its mild formulation makes it suitable for weekly exfoliation, helping to reduce irritation and ingrown hairs, revealing bright and fresh skin. However, it is advised not to use on highly sensitive skin, sunburned or irritated skin, active breakouts, or prior to waxing.
Full Ingredients: The formula includes natural ingredients such as Fullers Clay, Kaolin, Pumice Powder, Nopal Cactus Powder, Copal Oro Infused Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, and various essential oils like Clary Sage, Palo Santo, Piñon Pine, and Lavender.
Usage: The recommended weekly ritual involves moistening the skin, applying a pea-sized amount of the exfoliator, diluting with warm water, blending in palms, massaging in upward circular motions, and rinsing with cool water.
