Cosmetic Recipe: "Berry Clear" Antioxidant & Balancing Face Mask

Create a revitalizing and purifying face mask, perfect for oily and problematic skin, featuring the potent benefits of Blackberry Powder.

Instructions for Preparation (Dry Mask Mix):

1. Sanitization: Ensure all your equipment (bowls, spatulas, storage jars) is thoroughly sanitized and completely dry.
2. Weigh Powders: Accurately weigh out the Kaolin Clay, Bentonite Clay, Blackberry Powder, and Colloidal Oatmeal into a clean, dry bowl.
3. Mix Thoroughly: Using a dry spatula or whisk, gently and thoroughly mix all the dry ingredients together until they are completely homogenous and there are no clumps. Ensure even distribution of the Blackberry Powder.
4. Storage: Transfer the finished dry mask mixture into an airtight, clean, and dry jar. Label clearly.

Instructions for Use (User Application):

1. Prepare: In a small, non-metallic bowl, take 1-2 teaspoons of the "Berry Clear" Antioxidant & Balancing Face Mask powder.
2. Activate: Gradually add your chosen liquid activator (Rose Hydrosol or Distilled Water) to the powder, stirring constantly until a smooth, spreadable paste is formed. Add a few drops of vegetable glycerin if desired for extra hydration.
3. Apply: Apply an even layer of the mask to clean, dry skin, avoiding the eye and lip areas.
4. Relax: Leave the mask on for 10-15 minutes, or until it starts to dry.
5. Rinse: Rinse off thoroughly with warm water, gently massaging your skin in circular motions to exfoliate lightly.
6. Follow Up: Follow with your favorite toner, serum, and moisturizer.

Recommendations for Application and Use:

• Inclusion Rate: The recommended inclusion rate for Blackberry Powder in this type of dry mask formulation is 5% for maximum efficacy and noticeable benefits.
• Storage of Powder: Store the dry Blackberry Powder in a cool, dry, dark place in an airtight container to preserve its potency and prevent moisture absorption.
• Final Product Stability: Since this is a dry mask, it has a very long shelf life. Once activated with water, the mixed mask should be used immediately, as it contains no preservatives.
• Skin Sensitivity: While generally well-tolerated, perform a patch test on a small area of skin before applying the mask to your entire face, especially if you have sensitive skin.
• Customization: Encourage users to experiment with different liquid activators, such as green tea infusion for added antioxidants, or chamomile tea for extra soothing properties, to tailor the mask to their specific skin needs.
• Color Impact: Note that the natural color of Blackberry Powder (ranging from yellow to brown) may impart a subtle hue to your finished dry mask, which is characteristic of natural ingredients.
