The Science Behind This Formula

The Nujevi Mask Cleanser combines Dead Sea mud with phytic acid and microemulsion technology for deep cleansing and gentle brightening in a single product. Dead Sea mud is rich in minerals (magnesium, calcium, potassium) that draw impurities from pores through ionic exchange. Phytic acid, a natural tyrosinase inhibitor derived from rice bran, provides gentle exfoliation without the cytotoxicity of glycolic acid at comparable concentrations. The microemulsion base ensures active delivery into the pore.

Development Timeline

The phytic acid technology is covered by US Patent 8,460,687 B1.

Key Ingredient Breakdown

What Makes This Cosmeceutical-Grade

Penetrating base. The formula is engineered with a delivery system designed to carry active ingredients beyond the stratum corneum to the viable epidermis, where living cells respond.

Oregon Tilth certified organic. One of the strictest organic certifications in the United States — achieved at therapeutic active concentrations, which most organic-certified brands cannot maintain.

FDA-registered manufacturing. The facility meets federal standards for drug-licensed production, a higher bar than cosmetic-only manufacturing.

Formulated by PhD scientists. Dr. Volynsky (PhD organic chemistry) and Dr. Libaridian (PhD pharmaceuticals, R.Ph.) with a combined 50+ years of formulation research.

Deep Cleanse + Pore Refinement in One Step

The Nujevi Mask Cleanser combines Dead Sea mud — a mineral-rich natural clay — with microemulsion technology to deliver deep cleansing and pore refinement in a single product. Used as a mask, it draws out impurities and excess sebum. Used as a cleanser, it provides gentle daily exfoliation through the physical action of the mud particles.

Ingredient Science: Dead Sea Mud + Phytic Acid

The formula is enriched with phytic acid, a naturally derived tyrosinase inhibitor that provides gentle brightening benefits alongside the deep-cleanse action. It is free of parabens, fragrance, and GMOs, and is suitable for normal to oily skin types.

Usage: As a mask, apply to dry skin and leave for 5-10 minutes before rinsing. As a cleanser, massage onto damp skin and rinse. Use 2-3 times per week.
