Dead Sea Mud
EXTRACTION: Harvested
DESCRIPTION: The mud found at the bottom of the Dead Sea, the most saline sea in the world (8.6 times saltier than ocean water), has been used for thousands of years in health and beauty treatments. It consists of a green clay (similar to French clay) suspended in sea water with ultra-fine particles that create a smooth, creamy texture. Clay has the powerful ability to draw impurities out of skin while creating a deep exfoliation of dead skin cells. Mineral oxides give it its rich green colour and help to balance skin's flora. The salt contains high levels of magnesium to nourish skin and maintain hydration. Dead Sea mud has been used for thousands of years in health and beauty treatments.
FOUND IN: Ancient Mud Facial Mask.
Glacial Marine Clay
EXTRACTION: Hand Harvested
DESCRIPTION: Our mineral-rich glacial marine clay is sustainably harvested from the Pacific Ocean in British Colombia. Sourced from the sediment that runs off a live glacier, it is dried and processed into tiny particles that penetrate deep into pores and draw impurities out of skin. When the clay is wet it swells in size and as it dries on skin, it tightens and exfoliates.

Neroli Essential Oil
Neroli essential oil is derived from the fragrant blossoms of the bitter orange tree, Citrus aurantium. The oil has a fresh, floral scent with a hint of citrus, and it's been used for centuries in traditional medicine and perfumery. In recent years, neroli essential oil has gained popularity in skincare due to its numerous benefits for the skin.
Here are some of the key skincare benefits of neroli essential oil:
-
Antioxidant properties: Neroli essential oil is rich in antioxidants, which can help to protect the skin against free radical damage. Free radicals are unstable molecules that can damage skin cells and contribute to premature aging, but antioxidants can neutralize these harmful molecules and prevent or reduce the damage they cause.
-
Anti-inflammatory effects: Neroli essential oil has anti-inflammatory properties, which means it can help to reduce redness, irritation, and inflammation in the skin. This makes it an excellent ingredient for those with sensitive or acne-prone skin.
-
Moisturizing: Neroli essential oil is a natural emollient, which means it can help to moisturize and soften the skin. It can also improve skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
-
Antimicrobial properties: Neroli essential oil has antimicrobial properties, which means it can help to kill bacteria and other microorganisms that can cause skin infections. This makes it a great ingredient for acne-prone skin, as it can help to clear up breakouts and prevent new ones from forming.
-
Aromatherapy benefits: In addition to its skincare benefits, neroli essential oil is also known for its calming and uplifting aroma. It can help to reduce stress and anxiety, which can have a positive impact on overall skin health.
In conclusion, neroli essential oil has numerous benefits for the skin, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, moisturizing, antimicrobial, and aromatherapy properties. It's a great ingredient to look for in skincare products, especially if you have sensitive or acne-prone skin.
BOTANICAL NAME: Citrus (Latin name for citron) aurantium (orange) var. amara
EXTRACTION: Steam distillation
DESCRIPTION: Neroli essential oil, or orange blossom essential oil, is derived from the bitter orange (Citrus aurantium var. amara) tree, grown originally in parts of India, Eastern Africa and the Himalayas. Now, Neroli trees are found growing commercially in Florida, Morocco, France, Tunisia, Egypt, and parts of Asia. Neroli essential oil is extracted from the blossoms of the tree. It has a relaxing and uplifting scent that is light, citrusy and floral with a hint of honey. The name Neroli was coined in the 17th century by the princess of Nerola, Italy, who introduced the essence as a perfume for gloves and baths. It is a beautiful aroma, highly sought after by the perfume industry, while also boasting healing properties for the skin.

Rose absolute is an essential oil derived from the petals of the Rosa damascena flower. It is known for its distinct, sweet floral aroma and is used in various industries, including perfumery, aromatherapy, and skin care. Rose absolute is particularly valued in skin care due to its numerous benefits for the skin.
One of the most significant benefits of rose absolute in skin care is its moisturizing properties. It is rich in natural oils and fatty acids that help to lock in moisture and keep the skin hydrated. This makes it particularly useful for dry, sensitive, or mature skin. Rose absolute can also help to soothe and calm irritated skin, making it a valuable ingredient in products designed for those with sensitive skin.
In addition to its moisturizing properties, rose absolute has anti-inflammatory properties that can help to reduce redness and inflammation on the skin. This makes it an excellent ingredient for those with acne-prone or inflamed skin. It is also believed to have astringent properties, which can help to tighten and firm the skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Rose absolute is also high in antioxidants, which can help to protect the skin from free radicals and other environmental stressors. This can help to prevent premature aging and keep the skin looking healthy and youthful. Additionally, the natural scent of rose absolute can have a calming effect on the mind and body, making it a popular ingredient in aromatherapy and relaxation products.
Overall, rose absolute is a valuable ingredient in skin care due to its moisturizing, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. It can help to soothe and calm irritated skin, reduce redness and inflammation, and prevent premature aging.

CanadaSurprisingly Harsh on Sensitive Skin
Love the smell and feel of this mask when applying it. However, with a thin layer and only 5 minutes on, I started to feel some uncomfortable tingling. Washed the mask off right away and my skin is hot, angry red. Unfortunate experience, but absolutely love all the other Cocoon products I use. The mask just isn't for me.
Cocoon Apothecary
Good morning Anastasia, I am sorry that your skin had such a strong reaction to our Ancient Mud facial mask. This product is very concentrated and has a high salt content, and this reaction is not unexpected, especially the first time trying the product. This product can feel active/tingling on the skin and cause redness as it brings the blood close to the surface of the skin. If you are willing to try the product again, I would recommend you start with a facial toner so your face is damp and then apply the mask. Your skin may still have a strong reaction, but this should dissipate with continued use. I am sorry your experience wasn't as expected. Please let me know if you have any further questions, I am happy to help. Christine Cocoon Apothecary
CanadaSmooth & Glowy!
This mask left my skin smooth and glowy!
CanadaBurns a bit
After the burning sensation, its great. This feeling will not prevent my from using it though.
Cocoon Apothecary
Hi Jen, I am sorry to hear you experienced a burning sensation when using the Ancient Mud. This product is very active and intense as it has deep sea minerals in it. So it is not uncommon for it to feel active on the skin with a high tingling sensation or burning sensation on first use. This will improve on the second, third etc. use as your skin becomes used to the minerals and salts in the mud. Please ensure you you mix the product well before use. The mask does a deep exfoliation and combined with other forms of regular exfoliation may leave the new cells to feel aggravated with the dead sea mud as there are natural salts within it. I hope this information will help you to continue to enjoy the Ancient Mud Facial Mask. We do appreciate your feedback. Christine Cocoon Apothecary
CanadaJust what i needed.
Absolutely love this product. My face felt so tight and soft after. I will be adding this to the rest of your skincare products.
CanadaMud fun!
Love it! Makes the skin so soft you won’t need moisturizer at night.
CanadaAncient Mud Facial Mask Review.
I really like this mask. It forms my skin but also makes it smooth. The only downside is the smell.
CanadaAncient Mud
Love this product. Dries quickly, easy to use, very gentle exfoliation, My skin feels smooth and fresh afterwards with no redness or burning.
CanadaI love it!
First time trying this product and I'm beyond satisfied. I really love it and will definitely buy it again, this is a must in my skin care routine
CanadaGreat product!
I love the way this product makes my skin feel!
CanadaBeautiful mask!
I love all the products I have and this is one of them! My face had some type as dermatitis as the doctors call it when not sure how to peg the rash I had on my cheeks. I combined this with two other products from here and my skin within three weeks has healed beautifully, my complexion looks amazing. Soft-healthy and smooth skin! I cannot say enough about this company and their beautiful skin care line! So grateful!!! Thank you for creating such a product where there is so much heart in behind it!
Cocoon Apothecary
Thank you for your review! We are so happy you love the products. We can't wait to hear how you love the other products :)
CanadaMaybe not for sensitive skin but!!
If you are using this mask and have sensitive skin it may not be the best choice to put all over your face. My skin reacts to products easily and after using this mask it leaves my skin red and dry. However! You can definitely go in after with a hydrating mask( which is what I did the second time trying it and it went much better!) I think it would be really good for a T zone area or spot treatment area.!

I love it when I break out, it’s like a spa treatment at home
Cocoon Apothecary
We are so happy you are loving it!! Enjoy
Canada4th Time Trying!
I recently purchased and tried the Mud-mask, and I absolutely love it! I have genuinely noticed an improvement on the colour of my blackheads as well as the texture on my forehead! In only four uses! (about a month) It smells natural and refreshing, it feels amazing! I have acne prone skin and I have been using Cocoon's Products for just about a year now, and my skin has improved so much! The product goes on dark green and turns to a light green when it's dry, in about ten minutes. One time I left it on for far to long and my skin was a little red afterword's, so I defiantly recommend following the instructions if you have sensitive skin! My bad!
CanadaSuperb
Love this mud. My face feels moisturized after wearing it. It's great for my oily skin.
CanadaMost Mazing Mud Mask !!
Absolutely love this product. Silky smooth to put on...dries to a nice flexible texture...leaves skins feeling rejuvenated! HIGHLY recommend!
Cocoon Apothecary
We are so happy to hear you love it!!
CanadaFace Restoration!
Oh my! What can I say?!?!? I just absolutely love when I take time to pamper myself with the Ancient Mud Mask. There is just no better way to feel refreshed and restore my face!
CanadaMust Have Product!
My boyfriend and I both love this mask! I have been using it for over 6 years now - it is intense the first few times you use it, but no other mask product makes my skin as glowy and fresh after use as this one. This is a staple product for your beauty shelf, as far as I'm concerned!
CanadaAncient Mud Facial Mask
If you have acne prone skin like me, the Ancient Mud Facial Mask is a must have! I use it in two ways, as a weekly face mask, and as a double cleanser after using the Petal Purity Exfoliating Cleanser. This will erase your pores and get rid any gunk that's sitting underneath your skin. I hope that in the future the packaging is updated to a tube because the product moves around during shipping and it can be a tad scary if you're a first time buyer and don't know this. The results are beyond worth it! Will buy again in the future :)
CanadaLove this product!
This is my 2nd purchase of the Ancient Mud - I love how smooth it makes my skin. Love it as part of a weekly routine.
