No added Parfum. Iron oxide pigments (CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499) supply a soft warm finish and are EU-approved cosmetic colourants. Lactic Acid is present at pH-adjuster trace level only and is not an exfoliating active in this rinse-off format. Patch test recommended for first use. Clay masks may produce a transient tightening sensation during wear that subsides on rinse. Avoid contact with eyes.

Its 1:1 phyllosilicate sheet structure delivers physical adsorption of sebum and surface residue without the expansive swelling of smectite-group clays, with quantified water absorption of 1,000 milligrams per gram\u003csup\u003e1\u003c\/sup\u003e. A 4-week prospective clinical study of a kaolin-bentonite mask in 75 oily-and-combination-skin subjects documented sebum reduction of 68.97% immediately and 29.90% at week 4 by Sebumeter measurement\u003csup\u003e2\u003c\/sup\u003e. That clinical reference is a multi-ingredient formulation, while the Opuliss formula pairs Kaolin with Montmorillonite, Diatomaceous Earth, and Charcoal in a different formula.
