A deep black honey-textured facial mask with a gentle scent of sweet almonds and bitter orange leaves. This mask is a perfect treatment for congested problematic skin. Skin is left smoothed, purified and lightly hydrated.
With clean hands, apply mask to cleansed and dry skin, covering the face and neck area. Leave on for 10 minutes and wait for mask to dry — rinse thoroughly.
For best results, use 1-2 times a week.
The MESH Activated Charcoal Face Mask delivers multiple benefits: it effectively addresses skin congestion, leaving the complexion soft and hydrated. Additionally, the mask promotes a smooth and clear appearance, visibly reducing excess oil and shine. Infused with nourishing sweet almond oil, rich in antioxidants, it enhances the overall health and vitality of the skin.
With MESH's 200M LTA Charcoal produced in a carbon-negative system, the mask excels in adsorbing dirt and impurities, promoting a thorough cleansing experience.
Infused with 1.5% Salicylic Acid, it efficiently decongests the skin, addressing issues such as clogged pores and promoting a clearer complexion.
The inclusion of Bentonite clay ensures effective absorption of excess oil, contributing to a balanced and rejuvenated skin tone.
Water (Aqua), Sodium Bentonite, Propanediol, Glycerine, Activated Charcoal (Almond Shell), Cetearyl Alcohol, Ceteareth-20, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil, Salicylic Acid, Ethyl Alcohol, Decyl Glucoside, Benzyl Alcohol, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Citrus Aurantium Leaf Oil (Petitgrain Essential Oil), Xanthan Gum, Sodium Phytate, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract, Linalool*, Geraniol*, Limonene*
Water: Water is wet. But seriously water is multifunctional in skincare primarily as a solvent, assisting making ingredients easier to absorb into the surface levels of the skin and provide hydration. It is essential in all liquid cosmetics that are based on emulsification, such as this one. We use distilled water, free from impurities and minerals.
Sodium Bentonite: A highly absorbing clay, bentonite is highly effective at absorbing excess sebum (skin oil). It is used in this formulation to support the adsorbent properties of 200M LTA Charcoal.
Propanediol: A humectant (moisture magnet) and solvent. This ingredient improves the absorption of ingredients as well as being a superb skin hydrator, ideally suited for people with skin prone to sensitisation. It is a biodegradable ingredient and our source is palm oil-free.
Glycerine: A potent humectant, glycerine is used in this formulation to condition the skin leaving it feeling lightly hydrated. The glycerine we have sourced for this formulation is palm oil-free.
Activated Charcoal: Low temperature activated charcoal (LTA Charcoal) derived from waste almond shells. We use 200M, one of the smaller mesh sizes for maximum adsorption of oxidised skin oil, dirt and dead skin cells. It's a decongestant agent, ideal for the clogged skin.
Note about M: ‘M’ stands for mesh (hey that’s our name!) and is the term used for the size grading of the particles in activated charcoal.
Cetearyl Alcohol: A fatty alcohol that nourishes your skin and stabilises our formula.
Ceteareth-20: An emulsifying agent used in conjunction with Cetearyl Alcohol to nourish your skin and stabilise the formula.
Sweet Almond Oil: A light and nourishing oil from almond kernels, sweet almond oil is a highly functional oil able to soothe the skin and nourish it deeply without feeling greasy or uncomfortable. It is a natural source of Vitamin E, an antioxidant compound helpful in protecting skin from environmental aggressors.
Salicylic Acid: A chemical exfoliator, used in this formula to accompany the adsorbent properties of the LTA Charcoal. Salicylic acid is able to slough off dead skin, unclog pores of oxidised sebum and dead skin and gently resurface the skin. We have used 1.5% in this formula.
Ethyl Alcohol: Used as a co-solvent, ethyl alcohol is a highly effective ingredient to help solvate ingredients and improve the application. Ethyl alcohol is used in low concentrations and when combined with humectants and fatty acids (like this formula) there is extremely low risk of the product excessively drying your skin.
Decyl Glucoside: A sugar surfactant and fragrance solubiliser. In this formula, the ingredient is a mild surfactant to help the clean-off of the mask.
Benzyl Alcohol: An aromatic alcohol that is used as part of the preservative system along with phenoxyethanol, ethylhexylglycerin and sodium phytate. It also operates as a stabiliser. Some people have a diagnosed allergic reaction to this ingredient. If you suspect an allergy, discontinue use and consult with your general practitioner before reintroducing into your routine.
Phenoxyethanol: Blended with ethylhexylglycerin, this duo operates as a broad spectrum preservative to impair microbial growth such as yeasts, bacteria and mould fungi. In combination with sodium phytate and benzyl alcohol these ingredients operate as the product’s preservation system.
Ethylhexylglycerin: Blended with phenoxyethanol, this duo operates as a broad spectrum preservative to impair microbial growth such as yeasts, bacteria and mould fungi. In combination with sodium phytate and benzyl alcohol these ingredients operate as the product’s preservation system.
Petitgrain Essential Oil: A woody green scented fragrance oil derived from the leaves of the bitter orange tree. Petitgrain Essential Oil contains potential fragrance allergens linalool, geraniol and limonene (see below).
Xanthan Gum: A natural stabiliser and emulsifier from corn sugar, xanthan gum is used as a thickening and stabilising agent.
Sodium Phytate: A biodegradable chelating agent sourced from phytic acid. Chelating agents are molecules that collect up potential food sources for microbes, helping to preserve the formula. In conjunction with phenoxyethanol, benzyl alcohol and ethylhexylglycerin, this ingredient is part of this product's preservation system.
Rosemary Leaf Extract: An naturally-sourced antioxidant compound to help guard the skin against any environmental damage.
Linalool: A naturally occurring component of Petitgrain Essential Oil. This ingredient is not added separately, however we have listed it here due to it potentially being an allergen to some people.
Geraniol: A naturally occurring component of Petitgrain Essential Oil. This ingredient is not added separately, however we have listed it here due to it potentially being an allergen to some people.
Limonene: A naturally occurring component of Petitgrain Essential Oil. This ingredient is not added separately, however we have listed it here due to it potentially being an allergen to some people.

FAQs
Want to make sure MESH is right for you? These questions are here to help you with all the little details.
A face mask is a treatment product you can use when you need to. We recommend using this product after your regular cleansing routine up to three times a week. After cleansing, dry your skin and apply a thin layer of the mask to the areas you wish you treat (avoiding the delicate eye area). Leave on for up to 10 minutes then rinse thoroughly (lukewarm water is ideal) before patting dry. Continue with the rest of your routine as usual.
Sensitive skin is usually diagnosed by a dermatologist and describes the skin’s inability to operate as a functional barrier. If you have been diagnosed with a contact allergy to any of the constituent ingredients, consult with your doctor before using this product. If you suspect an allergy, consult your physician before continuing using this product. Although we have formulated this product to not be reactive to people’s skin conditions, we can not guarantee everyone can use this product as this is near impossible.
Please consult with your doctor before using this product if you are taking any topical medications. This product is highly unlikely to negatively affect any skincare or cosmetics products. If any negative effect occurs, please contact us at meshskincare.com and we can assess the situation and recommend any solutions.
Adsorption is a different process to absorption. Adsorption is when a substance (eg. activated charcoal) is able to cause particles (such as oxidised sebum) to adhere to the surface of the substance. This is what makes activated charcoal so effective and multifunctional. Although we use it in skincare, activated charcoal is also used in water treatments, treatment in poisonings (anyone want a charcoal milkshake?), chemical spills and removal of odours.
Absorption refers to a substance (eg. bentonite) that uptakes the mass of a compound (eg. sweat, unoxidised sebum). This is why bentonite swells and is used also in the process of wine making by removing proteins to clarify the wine, or as an effective sealant.
MESH is for the natural, conscious minded — formulated skincare to help you unwind, detoxify and clarify your skin with some of nature's most precious ingredients.
