Fuller’s Earth - Fine grey clay powder which is excellent for an oily facial mask. Glycerine - is a natural “humectants” meaning it attracts moisture to the skin therefore making lotions and creams nice and slippy.

Oatmeal - makes for a great exfoliater and a great base for a facial mask for any skin type. Rosewater - is a skin-smoother which makes a lovely skin toner or can be added to moisten facial masks. Shea Butter - makes a great base for any cosmetic cream or lotion but can equally be as good used on it’s own.
