A while ago I got a chance to try some products from Mālayā Organics, a brand that I knew of but haven’t tried before. It was actually the beautiful Lin from Pink Moon Co. who reached out to me and I happily said yes to trying out Mālayā Organics. If you know me, then you know I love trying out new things but I try not to go over board with all the options so for my first product from Mālayā I decided to go with their new Advanced Repair Mask*.
Mālayā Organics was founded by Katya Slepak and the brand is committed to bringing you a 100% natural beauty line using only the highest quality, organic, wildcrafted, biodynamic, and ethically sourced ingredients. Handcrafted in small batches, all of our formulas are made
to ensure absolute freshness and optimal shelf life. The packaging is
recyclable and reusable and we try not to use more packaging than
needed.
Malaya has more than one meaning: in Sanskrit Mālayā has two meanings, a sandalwood forest and a garland of flowers used as a ceremonial wreath. Malaya is a sacred garden in the Shambala tradition. In Tagalog, it is the word for freedom. And in Russian, Malaya is the gentle diminutive form of little or young.
Advanced Repair Mask – Neem Honey Herbal Complex is a potent, youth-boosting formula that softens, calms, and clarifies skin to help achieve your most radiant complexion. This mask has a number of stunning ingredients, first being the wonderful, highly anti-bacterial Wild Neem Flower Honey. Honey in itself is an amazing ingredient that is anti-bacterial, anti-acne and moisturizing and to have a honey that comes from Neem Flowers makes it just that more potent. Neem is packed with healing properties and is known for its anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory benefits. Interesting fact: I treated my toenail fungus (gross, I know) with neem oil years ago and it worked like a charm! I’ve had great results with Neem and Honey so naturally I was very drawn to this mask. Among the ingredients are also detoxifying Clays, Aloe Vera Gel and a proprietary complex of 9 reparative herbs, that gently draw out impurities and exfoliate. There is Blue Tansy, which I love for its soothing and anti-inflammatory properties, Black Currant, Red Thyme Oil, Broccoli Seed Oil and more. The ingredient list is gorgeous!
This mask has a slightly gritty and quite runny consistency, much more than any other honey based mask I have. It mostly smells of Lavender – of Lavender & earth. It’s a strong but lovely scent that relaxes me. I recommend using a wooden spoon to get it out so you don’t stick your fingers in the jar. Apply an even layer and they recommend leaving it on for 15-20 minutes but I tend to leave it on longer, misting with water so it doesn’t dry out. This therapeutic mask helps soothe stressed skin and reveal an even, healthy glow. Your skin will feel noticeably smooth, hydrated, and youthful. I have to say that this mask works beautifully! It soothes my skin, calms the inflammation on the skin (meaning that it can calm down a growing spot and reduces it), it evens out my skin tone, it makes my skin soft, smooth and also a bit moisturized. It just takes care of everything! I love using this mask once a week, or twice if my skin is going through a rough patch.
Advanced Repair Mask can be used on all skin types. I highly recommend it for oily, acne-prone and combination skin. If you want some gentle but effective skin detox, gently exfoliated but also calmed and glowing skin, then this is the mask for you. It’s a beaut!
