The earth meets the deep green.
A mineral-rich clay mask powered by chlorella algae — one of nature's most nutrient-dense superfoods, now working for your skin.
Every jar contains roughly 40 masks worth of pure chlorella algae clay — each one mixed fresh with your included rose water mist and measured with your hand-crafted spoon, so what touches your skin is always intentional, always potent. No preservative-laden pre-mix. Just pure chlorella extract meeting your skin at full strength, delivering its collagen-boosting, antioxidant-rich nutrients exactly where they need to go — directly, immediately, and without compromise.

Chlorella vulgaris is a single-celled freshwater microalgae that has been studied for over a century. It contains an extraordinary concentration of vitamins, peptides, amino acids, antioxidants, and the rare Chlorella Growth Factor (CGF) — a complex of nucleic acids and peptides found nowhere else in nature. We use it because it does what few ingredients can: feed, protect, and rebuild skin at the cellular level.
Chlorella carries the complete B vitamin complex, each playing a distinct role in skin health. B3 (niacin/niacinamide) is perhaps the most potent: it regulates melanin transfer, softens fine lines, and reinforces the skin barrier. B2 supports cellular energy turnover. B12 aids in skin repair and reduces inflammation. Together, they fuel the metabolism that keeps skin renewing itself.
Niacinamide effectively reduces the appearance of hyperpigmentation and age spots, leading to a more uniform skin tone, per research published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology. Separately, niacin has been shown to protect keratinocytes from UV-induced DNA damage by replenishing cellular ATP through NAD⁺ synthesis.

Chlorella's peptide profile is dense with proline, glycine, and lysine — the same amino acids that form the backbone of collagen. But the peptides don't just build; they protect. Research demonstrates that chlorella-derived peptides shield skin fibroblasts from UV-induced cell death, actively preventing DNA fragmentation at the cellular level.
In a published study, human skin fibroblasts treated with chlorella-derived peptide after UVC irradiation showed complete protection from cytotoxicity — while untreated cells in every control group experienced damage. CDP inhibited caspase-3 activity (the enzyme that triggers cell death) and prevented UV-induced DNA fragmentation.

CGF is a proprietary compound found exclusively in chlorella. It's a concentrated mix of nucleic acids (RNA/DNA fragments), peptides, amino acids, and polysaccharides that signal skin cells to regenerate. Research on human skin fibroblast lines confirms that CGF directly stimulates the expression of Type I and Type III collagen — the structural proteins responsible for firmness and elasticity.
Quantitative PCR analysis confirmed that CGF extracted from Chlorella vulgaris increased collagen I and III gene expression in human fibroblast cell line Hu02, indicating direct stimulation of collagen synthesis.

What it does for your skin
B3 regulates melanin transfer to reduce dark spots and uneven pigmentation over time.
Chlorella peptides and carotenoids neutralize free radicals and protect against UV-induced DNA damage.
CGF triggers fibroblasts to express more Type I & III collagen for firmer, more elastic skin.
Bentonite and kaolin clays draw out impurities and excess oil without stripping the barrier.
Colloidal oatmeal and chlorella's antioxidants reduce redness and oxidative stress markers.
CGF's nucleic acid complex signals accelerated cell turnover and supports skin regeneration.
What to expect
With use 2–3× per week. Consistency — not intensity — drives the change.
Bentonite and kaolin pull oil and impurities to the surface in one session. Skin feels fresh and matte — without the stripped, tight feeling of harsher masks.
Colloidal oatmeal keeps redness down between sessions while B3 begins regulating melanin transfer — tone starts to look more even and rested.
Repeated CGF exposure compounds. Collagen support shows up as improved firmness and elasticity — skin that behaves younger, not just looks cleaner.
Apply a generous, even layer to clean, dry skin — avoiding the eye area.
Allow to set for 10–15 minutes. As the clay dries, it draws impurities upward while the chlorella actives absorb.
Remove with a warm, damp cloth using gentle circular motions. Do not rinse while fully dry — re-dampen the mask first.
Follow immediately with your serum and moisturizer on freshly cleansed skin. Use 2–3× per week for best results.

Farm-to-Face
For a long time, we couldn't find what we were looking for. There were harsh prescription treatments on one side, and feel-good natural products with little science behind them on the other. Nothing in between — especially not for sensitive skin.
So we did the research ourselves.
My wife has always been passionate about skincare — the rituals, the ingredients, what actually works and why. I came at it from a different angle. I'd struggled with acne most of my life, and I'd also become fascinated with microalgae — not just as an ingredient, but as one of the most important organisms on the planet. The more scientists study it, the clearer it becomes: algae is going to play a significant role in how humans live and eat sustainably. That felt worth paying attention to.
When we started combining those two interests — her deep knowledge of what skin actually needs, and my obsession with what algae is capable of — something clicked. We spent months researching, formulating, and testing on ourselves. What we discovered is that the skin doesn't need more actives thrown at it. It needs ingredients that work with it, delivered in a way the skin already understands.
These products came out of that process. They're what we actually use. Every morning, the two of us still do our skincare rituals together — and that hasn't changed since the beginning.
