C/3 Nourishing Mask with Shea Butter & Orange Floral Water
C/3 Nourishing Mask with Shea Butter & Orange Floral Water
A maximum efficiency undiluted organic-certified and vegan face mask containing 89.10% of active natural ingredients.
Apply generously to clean skin on the cheeks, forehead and neck, then spread gently. Leave on for 10 minutes then remove the excess with a tissue, do not rinse.
A little secret between us: you can use C/3 as a night cream with a less generous application and without removing the excess after 10 minutes... an impression of a Thousand and One Nights before falling asleep!
Benefits
The hydrating power of shea butter makes C/3 an extremely nourishing mask. The orange blossom water acts as a natural stimulant for the skin and helps it regenerate smoothly, and withstand external aggressions and signs of ageing.
The high concentration in palmitoleic acid brought by the macadamia oil also contributes to moisturise your skin and to help prevent the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Avocado oil and shea butter provide extra antioxidants, hydration and softening effect, deeply and durably.
Night after night, you will wake up to a more hydrated, soft and rejuvenated skin.

MORE DETAILS ON C/3’S BOTANICAL ORGANIC FORMULA
Citrus aurantium amara flower water (orange floral water)
Orange floral water is astringent, i.e. tightens pores to improve skin texture. It is also known to help the epidermis better withstand external aggressions and signs of ageing. Its vitamin C is known for activating microcirculation and toning the complexion.
Macadamia ternifolia seed oil (macadamia oil)
Macadamia oil is a very good moisturizer to start with. This lightweight oil that contains palmitoleic acid works as a moisturizer to keep your skin smooth and beautiful. It is a very gentle oil and very similar to our sebum. The palmitoleic acid, which the human body decreasingly produces as we age, will help prevent the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Butyrospermum parkii butter (shea butter)
Shea butter is a natural fat derived from the nuts of the shea tree that has been used for centuries in West African cultures for its medicinal and cosmetic benefits. Shea butter contains a high concentration of vitamins A, E, and F, which work together to nourish and moisturize the skin. Its fatty acids also help to protect the skin's natural oils and improve its elasticity. Shea butter is particularly beneficial for dry, sensitive, or ageing skin as it can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It is also a great ingredient for those with eczema, psoriasis, or other skin conditions, as it can soothe and heal irritated skin. Overall, shea butter is a fantastic natural option for a healthy, hydrated, and glowing skin.
Coco-glucoside
Emollient of natural origin, it softens and smoothens the skin, and acts as a skin feel and texture agent. An ideal natural substitute for silicone.
Glycerin
It is a natural moistening additive, which maintains the moisture content of the skin or formula itself. Its moisturizing and softening effects one from its ability to capture water molecules and lock them in the cells of the epidermis. It is found in its natural state in cherries, but also in all-natural fats like those of the skin.
Coconut alcohol
It acts as an emollient, therefore retains moisture in the skin. It is also used as an emulsion stabilizer to combine water and oil in products.
Persea gratissima oil (avocado oil)
Avocado oil is used as an emollient (which softens and smoothens the skin) and as an active moisturiser. It is rich in antioxidants, namely phytosterols, and contains substantial amounts of Omega-9 oleic acid (essential fatty acid).
Benzyl alcohol
Antimicrobial preservative and solvent. One of the few preservatives allowed in organic products. It is naturally present in apricots, almonds, apples, asparagus, etc.
Titanium dioxide
It is a natural mineral powder used in large particules as a white cosmetic dye. Not to be confused with the same (and controversial) ingredient in nanoparticles.
Citrus sinensis peel oil expressed (orange essential oil)
Orange essential oil is astringent, i.e. tightens pores to improve skin texture. It is also known to help the epidermis better withstand external aggressions and signs of ageing. Its vitamin C is known for activating microcirculation and toning the complexion.
Zinc oxide
It is a mineral salt in the form of opaque powder, used to thicken the formula and also as a natural dye.
Dehydroacetic acid
Used as an antimicrobial and fungicide preservative.
Limonene, citral, farnesol, geraniol, linalool
These are not ingredients in the formula, but naturally occurring allergens mostly from essential oils which have to be indicated on packaging over a certain threshold as per European regulations. According to the European Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS), 1% to 3% of the European population may be allergic to these natural substances.
