How it works
Kaolin lifts surface oil. Green montmorillonite reaches deeper, binding to debris inside the pore wall.
Pores look refined. Blackheads have less to hold on to.
Mineral clays and aquatic algae draw out what daily cleansing leaves behind.
Two mineral clays do the lifting. Biominerals, a gentle polish, and three organic botanicals keep skin balanced while they work.

Pores look refined. Blackheads have less to hold on to.
Trace minerals replenish what the clay pulls out, so skin rebalances while it purifies.
Skin reads bright and alive, not flat or stripped.
Lactic acid loosens the bond between dead cells. Diatomaceous earth sweeps them away without abrasion.
Noticeably smoother skin after the very first rinse.
Three organic plant extracts that hydrate and calm the barrier while the clays do the lifting.
Deep purification without the tight, over-dry aftermath.

¹ Ingredients from organic farming.
² Pure mineral pigments.
Smooth onto clean, dry skin. Avoid the eye area. A thin layer is all you need.
Leave on for 5 to 10 minutes. You'll feel it tighten as the clay gets to work.
Warm water, gentle circles, pat dry. Follow with your usual moisturizer.
Ten minutes. Twice a week. That's the whole ritual.
† Rinse while the mask is still slightly tacky, not fully cracked. Over-dried clay can pull moisture from skin along with the oil.
Veloura is formulated and made in Europe, where cosmetic safety laws are the strictest in the world. What we leave out matters just as much as what we put in.
Europe bans over 1,600 cosmetic ingredients. The US bans just 11. Veloura is formulated under EU cosmetic regulation, so every bottle meets the higher standard by default.
Clay works fast on the surface and compounds with consistent use. Here's what most people notice, and when.
Surface oil and buildup lift off with the rinse. Skin feels smooth and balanced, not stripped.
Blackheads loosen and lift as the clays pull them out with each use. Pores look visibly smaller.
With less congestion building up, fewer blemishes surface. Skin tone looks more even and bright.
Consistent use keeps pores clear and oil in check. What used to be a fix becomes a maintenance habit.

By month two, this is just part of your routine.
Sensitive skin, pregnancy, how often to use it, how it actually works. No fluff, no runaround.
Yes, and the reason is in the formula. Most clay masks rely on clay alone, which over-dries because there is nothing to balance the pull.
This one pairs kaolin and montmorillonite with a biomineral complex, aquatic algae, aloe vera, and three calming botanicals. The clays do the lifting on oil and buildup. Everything else keeps skin balanced while they work.
One more thing. Rinse while the mask is still slightly tacky, not fully cracked. Over-dried clay pulls moisture from skin along with the oil. That step alone changes the whole experience.
The formula contains zero retinoids, zero salicylic acid, and zero hydroquinone. The actives are mineral clays, plant botanicals, a biomineral complex, and a gentle lactic acid polish. All ingredients commonly considered safe during pregnancy and nursing.
That said, we are not your doctor. Every pregnancy is different, and we would always rather you run this past your OB before starting. If they give the green light, you are good.
Pore strips rip the top off the plug and leave the rest behind. Results last a day or two before pores refill.
Charcoal masks can work, but most formulas are harsh and strip your barrier along with the gunk.
Twin mineral clays pull congestion from depth while the biomineral and botanical base keeps skin calm and hydrated. Cleaner at the root, less damage on the way out.
Two to three times a week is the sweet spot. Clean pores without throwing your skin out of balance.
Each session is about ten minutes from start to rinse. Apply a thin layer, let it work for five to ten minutes, rinse while still slightly tacky. That is the whole ritual.
Mild congestion, twice a week is plenty. Heavier oil or regular breakouts, three is fine. More than that is not better.
After the first rinse, skin feels cleaner and softer. Not tight.
By week two, pores start to look refined and blackheads begin to lift. Around week four, breakouts come less often and tone starts to even out.
Month two and beyond is where it becomes the new baseline. Clearer skin stops being a good day and starts being a normal day.
Yes. Clay mask night is its own night. Go easy on other actives the same evening because your skin is already getting a deep clean plus a gentle lactic acid polish.
Retinol and stronger AHAs are best kept to non-mask nights. Vitamin C in the morning works fine alongside this routine.
If you use prescription treatments, check with your derm on how to sequence. Most prescription routines layer with this just fine on a twice-weekly schedule.
The formula was built with reactive skin in mind. No sulfates, no added fragrance, no menthol. The base is aloe, sage, and cucumber. Calming first, active second.
Start with five minutes instead of ten for your first few uses. Rinse while the mask is still tacky. If you are extra reactive, patch test on your jawline for two uses before going full face.
Rosacea and eczema-prone customers have had good results at once a week. Go slow, listen to your skin, and adjust from there.
Fair question. Most clay masks fail for one of three reasons: the clay is underdosed, the base is drying, or people use it once and give up.
