• Primally Pure Soothing Mask, small 1 oz jar of clay face mask

Soothing Mask

"A gentle clay mask for the days your face feels cranky."

Our take
$38 Price at Primally Pure, checked Nov 2026.
The short answer

Worth it if your skin runs red and you like a gentle, botanical clay mask. Kaolin clay absorbs excess oil without the tight, stripped feeling of stronger clays, and the oils keep it comfortable. It's a nice weekly reset, not a fix for ongoing irritation. Patch test first if you react to plant extracts.

What it is

Primally Pure's calming clay mask with kaolin clay, evening primrose oil and gotu kola, for skin that feels red or irritated.

  • Key ingredients: kaolin clay, evening primrose oil, gotu kola
  • Size: 1 oz
  • Format: clay mask
How to use
Apply a thin layer to clean skin, leave it on for 10 to 15 minutes, then rinse with warm water and follow with moisturizer. Once or twice a week is plenty.

Our Take

Why it made the edit.

Why we love it
A short ingredient list, a calm feel, and it rinses clean without leaving skin tight.
Skip it if
You react to botanical oils, or you want a deep-cleaning clay for very oily skin.
The catch
1 oz goes fast if you use it often, and plant-heavy formulas don't suit every sensitive skin.
