The Insta-famous Pink Clay Mask has a not-so-secret ingredient – Australian Pink Clay which draws out toxins like a magnet, refines pores, and deeply cleanses the skin. It purifies and tightens pores, clearing congestion and battling breakouts. Kakadu Plum is another local Aussie ingredient and the world’s richest source of Vitamin C, packing a punch in breaking down pesky pigmentation and brightening the skin. See results in as little as 10 minutes.
