SENSORYAustralian Red Clay Detox
Draws out impurities, excess oil, and environmental pollutants while delivering minerals back to the skin for an instant brightening effect.
Triple Native Lime Complex
Rainforest Lime, Caviar Lime, and Desert Lime deliver natural AHAs and antioxidants for gentle resurfacing and radiance.
Kakadu Plum Vitamin C
The world's richest natural source of Vitamin C (up to 100x more than oranges) to brighten skin tone and fight free radical damage.
PHA Gentle Exfoliation
Gluconolactone (PHA) provides mild exfoliation that is gentler than AHAs, helping unclog pores and refine texture without irritation.
Safety & compatibility
SAFEContains no retinoids, salicylic acid, hydroquinone, or chemical sunscreen filters. All ingredients are considered safe for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Contains oils (rice bran, sunflower, castor), fatty alcohols (cetearyl alcohol), and esters (cetearyl olivate, sorbitan olivate) that can feed malassezia yeast. Avoid if you have active fungal acne.
Castor oil rates 1, sunflower oil 0–2, and rice bran oil 2–3. The blend plus clay absorption keeps overall pore-clogging risk low for most skin types.
Free from added fragrance, parabens, sulfates, phthalates, and artificial dyes. Uses gentle kaolin clay rather than aggressive bentonite. Patch test recommended for very reactive skin.
Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein is present. Those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity applied topically may wish to avoid or patch test first.
Contains Gluconolactone (a PHA) at a low concentration. Much gentler than AHAs/BHAs but use sunscreen the day after masking as a precaution.
Ingredient breakdown
INGREDIENTSAloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice #1 IngredientProven
Aloe vera is the base of this formula (listed first), providing deep hydration, soothing properties, and anti-inflammatory benefits. It calms irritation and helps the mask feel comfortable rather than tight as it dries.
- Hydration: Contains polysaccharides that bind moisture to the skin surface.
- Soothing: Well-studied anti-inflammatory properties that reduce redness and irritation.
- Healing: Supports skin barrier repair and accelerates wound recovery.
Australian Red Clay High %Proven
Sourced from the Australian Outback, this mineral-rich red clay detoxifies and purifies the skin while delivering iron oxide and silica. It draws out impurities from pores without the aggressive drying of bentonite clay.
- Detox: Absorbs excess oil, dirt, and environmental pollutants from pores.
- Minerals: Rich in iron oxide, silica, and aluminum which nourish the skin.
- Brightening: The iron oxide content gives an immediate warm-toned brightening effect upon rinsing.
White Australian Kaolin Clay High %Proven
A gentle, fine white clay that absorbs oil without stripping the skin. Less aggressive than bentonite, making it ideal for sensitive and dry skin types. Also boosts localized circulation to fight inflammation.
- Oil Control: Absorbs excess sebum without over-drying (comedogenic rating: 0).
- Circulation: Stimulates blood flow to the skin surface for a healthy flush.
- Gentle: Suitable for all skin types including sensitive skin, unlike harsh bentonite clay.
Kakadu Plum Extract 0.5–2%Proven
Terminalia ferdinandiana, the Kakadu Plum, is the world's highest natural source of Vitamin C — containing up to 5,000mg per 100g of fruit, roughly 100 times more than oranges. A powerful antioxidant and brightening agent.
- Vitamin C: Potent antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals and boosts collagen synthesis.
- Brightening: Inhibits tyrosinase to help fade dark spots and even skin tone.
- Research: Studies confirm strong antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties of Kakadu Plum.
Triple Australian Lime Complex 0.2–0.75% eachPromising
A unique blend of three native Australian citrus fruits — Rainforest Lime, Caviar Lime, and Desert Lime. Each provides natural fruit acids and antioxidants for gentle resurfacing and skin renewal.
- Caviar Lime: Contains natural AHAs (citric acid) in micro-bead form for gentle exfoliation.
- Rainforest Lime: Rich in folate and Vitamin E to protect against oxidative stress.
- Desert Lime: Exceptionally high in Vitamin C and drought-resistant antioxidants that protect skin cells.
Gluconolactone (PHA) 0.15–0.55%Proven
A polyhydroxy acid (PHA) that provides gentle chemical exfoliation. Milder than glycolic acid or lactic acid, making it safe for sensitive skin. Also acts as a humectant and antioxidant.
- Exfoliation: Removes dead skin cells to reveal smoother, brighter skin underneath.
- Moisturizing: Larger molecular size means it sits on the surface, attracting moisture rather than penetrating deeply.
- Anti-Aging: Clinical studies show PHAs can improve fine lines and stimulate skin's own hyaluronic acid production with regular use.

Where it fits in your routine
ROUTINEUse 1–3 times per week after cleansing. Apply on clean, dry skin. Follow with your regular toner, serum, and moisturizer after rinsing.
How to use
HOW TO USECleanse Your Face
Wash with your regular cleanser and pat skin dry. The mask works best on clean, dry skin.
Apply a Thin Layer
Squeeze a pea-sized amount and spread a thin, even layer across the face. Avoid the eye and lip area. A little goes a long way — one tube provides approximately 30 uses.
Wait 8–12 Minutes
Relax while the mask dries. For sensitive skin, reduce time to 5–6 minutes. The clay will tighten gently as it works.
Rinse with Lukewarm Water
Use lukewarm water and a dark washcloth to remove the mask (red clay can stain light fabrics). Gently massage in circular motions while rinsing.
Moisturize & Protect
Follow with your favorite serum and moisturizer. Apply sunscreen the next morning to protect freshly exfoliated skin.

- You have a wheat/gluten sensitivity (contains Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein)
- You prefer a completely oil-free skincare routine
Skin type compatibility
SKIN TYPESDual clay formula effectively absorbs excess oil and unclogs pores. The aloe base prevents the mask from over-stripping, keeping oil production balanced.
The aloe vera base, glycerin, rice bran oil, and sunflower oil make this much more hydrating than typical clay masks. Follow up with a rich moisturizer for best results.
Ideal balance: clays mattify the T-zone while nourishing oils and aloe hydrate drier cheeks. One of the most popular skin types among reviewers for this mask.
Fragrance-free with gentle kaolin instead of harsh bentonite. Multiple reviewers with sensitive skin report no irritation. Reduce mask time to 5–6 minutes as a precaution.
Effective for pore detox and brightening post-breakout marks. However, not fungal acne safe due to oils and esters. Works well as a spot treatment on active blemishes.

Pure bentonite clay powder you mix with apple cider vinegar. Incredibly effective for deep pore cleansing on oily/acne skin but far more drying and intense. No moisturizing ingredients, no botanicals. DIY mixing required. Not suitable for sensitive or dry skin.

Frequently asked questions
FAQYes. The Asarai Earth Tones Face Mask contains no retinoids, salicylic acid, hydroquinone, chemical sunscreens, or any other ingredients flagged as unsafe during pregnancy or breastfeeding. The formula is based on aloe vera, natural clays, plant oils, and gentle botanical extracts, all of which are considered safe. The gluconolactone (PHA) present is at a very low concentration and is generally regarded as safe for pregnant and nursing women. As always, consult your healthcare provider if you have specific concerns.
No. This mask is not fungal acne safe. It contains several ingredients that can feed the malassezia yeast responsible for fungal acne, including Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Oil, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Castor Seed Oil, Cetearyl Olivate, Sorbitan Olivate, and Cetearyl Alcohol. If you are currently dealing with fungal acne, consider alternatives like the Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay (100% bentonite with no oils or esters) which is fungal acne safe.
It's best to avoid using Earth Tones on the same day as strong exfoliants like retinol, AHAs (glycolic acid, lactic acid), or BHAs (salicylic acid) to prevent over-exfoliation and irritation. The mask contains its own gentle exfoliant (gluconolactone PHA) and citrus lime extracts. You can safely alternate days — for example, use the mask on Monday and Wednesday, and your retinol on Tuesday and Thursday. Vitamin C serums can be used after the mask for an extra brightening boost, as they complement the Kakadu Plum in the formula.
Earth Tones is formulated to work across all skin types. It excels for oily and combination skin due to its oil-absorbing clays, but the aloe vera base and nourishing plant oils make it gentler and more hydrating than most clay masks — so dry and sensitive skin types can use it comfortably too. The brand was developed by naturopaths specifically with a universal approach in mind. For sensitive skin, simply reduce the application time to 5–6 minutes.
Most users report visible brightening, smoother texture, and smaller-looking pores immediately after their first use. The "glow" effect is one of the most frequently praised aspects in reviews. For longer-term benefits like more even skin tone, reduced breakouts, and sustained radiance, consistent use of 1–3 times per week for 2–4 weeks is recommended. Many reviewers noted that by week 3–4, they felt confident reducing their makeup use significantly.
Apply Earth Tones after cleansing as the second step in your routine, 1–3 times per week. Cleanse your face, apply the mask to dry skin, wait 8–12 minutes, then rinse off. After rinsing, continue with your normal routine: toner, serum, moisturizer, and sunscreen (morning). It can be used in both AM and PM routines, though evening is most common to allow the gentle exfoliation to work overnight.
Earth Tones has a low comedogenic rating of 2 out of 5. While it does contain oils (rice bran oil rates 2–3, castor oil rates 1, sunflower oil rates 0–2), the clay base actively works to absorb oil and draw out pore-clogging impurities. The mask is a wash-off treatment (not leave-on), which further reduces any pore-clogging risk since the oils are rinsed away after 8–12 minutes. Most users, including those with acne-prone skin, report clearer, less congested pores after use.
The mask has an estimated Period After Opening (PAO) of 12 months. Each 50ml tube provides approximately 30 uses when applying the recommended pea-sized amount. If used 2–3 times per week, one tube lasts roughly 10–15 weeks (about 2.5–3.5 months). Store in a cool, dry place and keep the cap sealed tightly between uses. The aluminum tube packaging helps protect the formula from air and light exposure.
Verdict: The Asarai Earth Tones Face Mask delivers on its promise of instant brightening and a healthy glow, earning its reputation as the "Break Up with Makeup Mask." The naturopath-developed formula strikes an impressive balance — powerful enough to detox and refine pores, yet gentle enough for sensitive skin thanks to its aloe vera base and kaolin clay. The Australian native botanicals (Kakadu Plum, triple lime complex) set it apart from generic clay masks. The main drawbacks are its premium price point ($56 for 50ml) and the fact that it's not fungal acne safe. If you're looking for a luxurious, pregnancy-safe clay mask that visibly brightens and won't over-dry your skin, Earth Tones is a standout choice in the Australian beauty space.

Understanding Silicones
If you've ever used a skincare, makeup or beauty product that's made your skin look and feel smoother tempoarily - it's likely contained Silicone. They are a popular class of ingredients found in cosmetics due to their smooth, soft, easy-to-spread and smooth properties that help creates an artificial layer/barrier on top of skin or hair (commonly found in conditioners).
For the same reasons they are popularly used, they are also commonly avoided. Anecdotally, many individuals have reported that Silicones cause/excerbate breakouts, irritation, cause a feeling of skin being unable to breathe, cause clumping of cosmetic products and find it difficult to wash off. As a result, those who find them problematic are avoiding them and increasingly, cosmetic companies are avoiding them as well.
If you have had bad experiences with Silicones in the past, or suspect they are problematic then look out for the tick on the Silicone-free label.
Disclaimer
The Silicone-free label only includes the most common Silicone ingredients that have indentified been reported by individuals that could potentially cause issues.
These include: Amodimethicone, Behenoxy Dimethicone, Bis-Aminopropyl Dimethicone, Cetearyl Methicone, Cetyl Dimethicone, Cyclomethicone, Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Dimethicone Copolyol, Dimethiconol, Methicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Stearoxy Dimethicone, Stearyl Dimethicone, Trimethylsilylamodimethicone.

Understanding the Identified Contact Allergens
The EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) has identified and established 26 cosmetic ingredients that are likely contact allergens (potential to cause skin allergies) as demonstrated in clinical or epidemiological studies. The EU's SCCS have recommend cosmetic companies to disclose them on the labels if used and in cases where the concentration exceeds 0.001% in leave-on products and 0.01% in rinse-off products, then they must be labelled.
Look out for the tick on the EU-Allergen free label to know your cosmetic is free from any of the 26 identified cosmetic ingredients.
For more information regarding the EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety, please visit their official website.
Disclaimer
The EU Allergen Free label is for the 26 ingredients identified by the EU SCCS and products will be only flagged if a suspected ingredient is on it's ingredient list. It is possible for cosmetics to contain one of the suspect ingredients without it appearing on the ingredient list due to it not reaching the concentration threshold to disclose it and cosmetic manufacturers choice to not disclose it.
Also note, the EU Allergen Free label is not personalized for your own allergies you may have and it does not constitute as medical advice. For your specific case, always consult your medical professiona such as dermatologist, physician, pharmacist, or health care provider - please read our medical disclaimer for more information.
Fungal Acne (Molassezia) Safe
Fungal Acne (Molassezia) Safe
Understanding Fungal Acne (Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia Folliculitis)
Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia folliculitis or simply known as Fungal Acne is a persistent acne-like condition that commonly responds poorly to traditional acne-treating methods. Unlike most cases of Acne where bacteria is the culprit, Fungi is the culprit of Fungal Acne (Hence the name!). There are certain classes & groups of ingredients that have been shown to promote and feed the growth of the Fungal Acne, Fungi such as fatty acids, oils, esters, polysorbates and fermented ingredients.
For more information regarding Fungal Acne, please visit Simple Skincare Science (f.c) - #3 of our Recommend Skincare Resources for an amazing comprehensive guide!
Please Read: How to use the Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Label
At SkinCarisma, we've done our best to identify as many ingredients as possible but note the fungal-free label may not be 100% accurate due to the complexconditions and combination of ingredients that malezzeria can thrive on.
Additionally, products that may contain ingredients that have shown to feed Malassezia may not neccessarily exacerbate the condition due to concentration of ingredient used in the product, this information is simply not available on the products.
As a result, please note this is only an experimental label that can be best used to possible identify problematic products you have used in the past. It is in no way a perfect identifier nor a predictor in whether or not it will exacerbate or cause fungal acne. It will continue to be worked on as more information and research comes to light.
If you find any ingredients you believe should be included, please email us at snails@skincarisma.com.
Disclaimer
Due to the lack of substantial research into this area it is very likely there are other ingredients and class/groups of ingredients that could feed Fungal Acne which have not been indentified.
The Fungal-Safe label does not constitute as medical advice. For your specific case, always consult your medical professiona such as dermatologist, physician, pharmacist, or health care provider - please read our medical disclaimer for more information.
What are Notable Effects & Ingredients?
Ever used a product that promised a certain effect but provided no results? It might not have contained any notable ingredients that could have been responsible for that promised effect. It doesn't matter what the marketing or packaging «promises» it can do, if it doesn't contain anything that can help - then the likelihood of it helping is low.
We help you identify key notable ingredients that have been shown to help with effects such as acne-fighting, brightening, UV-protection, wound healing & anti-aging to help you achieve your skincare goals smarter. Please note that different notable ingredients have varying levels of research behind them, some are extremely well proven yet some have mixed research in their efficacy.
Pro Tip Alert!
Just because a product doesn't contain any notable ingredients doesn't mean it's bad. And a product with notable ingredients (or even many) doesn't necessarily guarantee the efficacy of the product performing these effects either. There are other factors such as ingredient quality, concentration and formulation that will ultimately determine this.
Be smart and use this as just a starting point for you to make more informed and smarter choices and compare it with reviews to see if the product is right for you

What is the Ingredient Safety Breakdown?
Ingredient Safety Breakdown refers to the percentage % of ingredients in different risk categories as classified by EWG (Environment Working Group) if they are available. There are almost endless cosmetic ingredients and they are one of the few organisations globally that have assigned ratings to a lot of the more commonly used ingredients which is why we reference them.
Pro Tip Alert!
EWG is seen by many to be more on the alarmist side in their assignment of health ratings resulting in rating ingredients as riskier than they actually are. We recommend using this a reference point rather than a strict guide of ingredient safety and to always do further research if into ingredients that you may find suspect.
