Cleansing Grains Recipe
Cleansing Grains are dry, powder-based formulations made from botanical ingredients. They are mixed with water just before use to create a soft paste that acts as a gentle daily cleanser and exfoliator.
Ingredients:
- 25% Oats (finely ground; soothes, calms, anti-inflammatory, gently exfoliates, and cleanses the skin)
- 20% Arrowroot Powder (or rice starch/powder; helps bind the mixture and gently exfoliates the skin)
- 20% Ground Almond Meal (gently exfoliates, nourishes, and softens the skin with vitamin E and fatty acids)
- 20% Milk Powder (softens, hydrates, and gently exfoliates the skin with natural lactic acid)
- 15% Ground Rice/Rice Flour (brightens skin tone, reduces blemishes, and controls excess oil production)
Storage:
- Store in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture from entering the container.
- When stored correctly, cleansing grains can last up to 6 months.
- Since this formula does not contain broad-spectrum preservatives, it is essential to avoid water or moisture from contaminating the container.
How to Use:
- Take about 1 teaspoon (5ml) of the dry cleansing grains in your hand or a small cup.
- Add a few drops of water and mix into a paste. The more water you add, the more liquid the paste becomes; less water results in a thicker paste.
- Dampen your face with water, then gently apply the paste, massaging in circular motions while avoiding the eye area.
- Rinse your face with water and gently pat dry with a towel.
Important Notes:
- Never allow water to enter the container, as it will encourage bacterial growth.
- This is a natural, soap-free facial cleanser that provides a mild exfoliation, leaving your skin smooth, refreshed, and radiant.
- Suitable for daily use as part of your skincare routine.
This Cleansing Grains formula is a perfect alternative to conventional face washes, especially for those with sensitive skin or looking for a more natural skincare approach.
