Paraben Free
Parabens are synthetic chemical preservatives, commonly used in beauty products like shampoo, lotion, and deodorants. Parabens can accumulate in your body, and have been linked to hormonal disruption and reproductive problems. In studies of breast cancer patients, parabens have been found in the tissue of cancerous tumors. If you want to avoid Parabens in your beauty products, keep an eye out for methylparaben, propylparaben, butylparaben, and ethylparaben in the ingredients list.

Phthalate Free
Phthalates are found in toys, electronics, personal care products, plastic wraps, containers, and more. These petroleum based chemicals help soften plastics, and bind fragrances to perfumes, deodorants, creams, and other personal care products. Phthalates are are not chemically bound, meaning they can easily get released into the air, water, or your body, just by using the products as intended. Phthalates have been found to disrupt the endocrine system, which can cause reproductive damage, hormonal imbalances, infertility, mood changes, metabolism changes, and more.

Plastic Free
No petroleum-based plastics are used in this product or its packaging. Plastic can be difficult to properly recycle, may never biodegrade, and is known to leech toxic chemicals into our bodies and environment. Single-use plastics also require extracting and processing of finite resources, so seeking out biodegradable, infinitely recyclable, or durable products and packaging is recommended whenever possible.

Sulfate Free
Sulfates are synthetic chemical ingredients commonly used in beauty products and household cleaners, like shampoos and dish soaps. You can usually identify sulfates in an ingredients list by looking out for the most common types: Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLC) and Sodium Laureth Sulfates (SLES). These chemicals, often derived from petroleum, are used to help form the “lather” we’re used to seeing in our beauty and cleaning products. When used in the shower or sink, these chemicals can flow through the pipes and into our waterways. Synthetic sulfates have been linked to allergic reactions, eye and skin irritation, and hair loss, and some studies suggest they contain carcinogenic ingredients.

Fabulous Product, Great Brand

Love this brands products. Unlike most face masks that have lots of extra wrapping, packaging and trash as a consolation prize this brand is sleek and feel good minimalist. I can enjoy the pampering product and not feel like a monster for adding unnecessary trash to my local land fill. This mask with kick the butt of any break out. I like to apply this mask after a hot water rinse to open pores then allow to fully dry and tighten to remove blackheads and other nasty things. Then I’m shower I gently use wash cloth to rub away masks in circles to help overall smooth skin texture. Then I throughly moisturize after my shower. This mask isn’t overly drying but really makes a difference to turn the tide against breakouts and clogged pores.

Feels great

Easy to apply, just add a little bit of water, then rub onto your face. Smells good and feels amazing, the skin feels rejuvenated and moisturized after application. Good for sensitive skin, too.

LOVE this scrub. Will be

LOVE this scrub. Will be coming back for more. Product instructions online don't match the jar I received but I did not have to mix mine any. 1/2 tsp plus a few drops of water. Don't wash off right way, so your skin gets the moisturizing benefits of the olive oil. Gentle enough for daily use and smells great too!

Another great Fat and the Moon product

Love this product! A pleasant earthy smell on application, add a little water and it goes on with much less mess. Afterwards my skin feels very clean and baby face smooth.
It does need a little mixing first, which is a bit tricky the first few times of use as there's not a lot of ‘room' in the jar.
Will definitely purchase again!

Excellent Texture & Baby smooth skin

It only takes a pea size to cover your whole face; the texture is perfect for scrubbing away all the dead skin and it didn't leave my skin feeling dry. I've used so many face scrubs and this one is my favorite. I will definitely repurchase!

Great, But Messy

I have dry combination skin, and I was looking for an exfoliating face mask for my evening routine. I really LOVE the smell, and the overall consistency is great. The value and quality is worth the price, and it really does moisturize well.

I personally don't mind the separation ( they recently reformulated this per their website so you don't have to mix prior to application), but you may want to ask if this particular jar is the reformulation or the older one. HINT: they both work exactly the same. :)

The only reason this is getting 4 stars instead of 5 is it made a mess on my bathroom counter. I think I'll try a different brand next time, but this one really isn't bad at all. I'll definitely still keep this in mind when shopping around, because it's very competitively priced for other exfoliating masks.

Great feel, great result!

I am absolutely wild for the ingredients, which make my skin feel so soft afterwards and give me a beautiful glow thanks to the olive oil. The application is really easy, yummy smell that reminds me of tamales, and easy storage too. It's a good idea to have a tiny spoon set aside for its use to keep the batch clean. Great size for sharing or keeping to yourself for weekly spa nights. Will buy again when it runs out!

Update, bought another 2 of these (June 2021) as they've made it into my daily face routine. It's the perfect exfoliator that isn't too harsh on my skin, smells great, and is an excellent moisturizer.

Consistency was different than I

Consistency was different than I expected, but my skin felt awesome after using it! Make sure to read the directions first as it is slightly different than a normal face scrub

Definitely scrubby but did not

Definitely scrubby but did not leave my skin feeling scorched like some exfoliants. Skin felt soft, moisturized after use. The oil separates out so you do need to really mix it well, but it worked very well once I got it mixed.
