  • Few drops of carrot seed oil (optional, for extra brightening)

  1. In a clean bowl, mix the white clay and pumpkin hydrolate until a smooth paste forms.
  2. Add honey and carrot seed oil, if using, and mix well.
  3. Apply the mask to clean, dry skin, avoiding the eye area.

Recommendations for Use:

• Perform a patch test before using pumpkin hydrolate on your face, especially if you have sensitive skin. Apply a small amount to your inner elbow and wait 24 hours for any reactions.
• Pumpkin hydrolate can be used undiluted as a toner or facial mist.
• When incorporating it into other formulations, start with a lower concentration (1-5%) and adjust as needed, up to 100%.
• Due to its natural composition, pumpkin hydrolate may have a slight natural aroma and may develop a small organic sediment. This is normal and does not affect the quality of the product. Shaking before use is recommended.
• Store pumpkin hydrolate in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources, to maintain its quality and freshness.
