Ishga Hydrating Hair & Scalp Mask is a multi use treatment designed to nourish hair, scalp and body. Combining mineral rich clay, botanical oils and marine actives, it helps cleanse, rebalance and hydrate.
Fine green clay works to draw out impurities and excess oil, supporting a fresh, balanced scalp and skin. Hyaluronic acid and glycerine attract and retain moisture to enhance hydration and comfort, while apricot kernel oil and castor oil soften hair, improve texture and add natural shine. Antioxidant rich fucus serratus seaweed helps protect against environmental damage and supports scalp health.
Key Active Ingredients and Benefits
Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic Acid (HA) allows nutrients to reach deeper levels of the skin by maintaining extra cellular space. Can bind up to 1000x times its own weight in water which boosts and maintains skin hydration levels, accelerates tissue repair and cell regeneration. Environmental pollution can decrease the levels of hyaluronic acid in the skin, causing fine lines, reduced elasticity, wrinkles and dark spots. By including hyaluronic acid in the skincare routine, this can replenish the levels resulting in improved skin texture and appearance. Low molecular HA weights penetrate the skin to deliver nourishing and regenerative qualities to the deeper layers of the skin. HA with higher molecular weights forms a hydration barrier on the surface of the skin delivering instant visible results, improving skin texture and hydration levels whilst also protecting against pollutants in the environment.
Glycerin
Glycerin is a humectant which means it attracts moisture to the skin. It helps the skin absorb water from the air reducing any dry and dull patches. Using glycerin regularly can help to make the skin smooth and prevent problems associated with dryness.
Apricot Kernel Oil
Apricot Kernel Oil enhances skin elasticity and leaves a soft and smooth quality. It is absorbed easily and is ideal for those with sensitive skin. It also brightens, reduces fine lines and decreases any puffiness of the skin.
Castor oil
Castor oil contains antibacterial, anti inflammatory, and moisturising properties which are beneficial to all skin types.
Fucus Serratus Seaweed Extract
Fucus Serratus Seaweed is one of the key ingredients ishga uses, due to its remarkable benefits for the skin. It contains high levels of natural antioxidants known as polyphenols. These antioxidants provide protection against damage to the skin by neutralising free radicals (damaging atoms in the air). Fucus Serratus Seaweed has also been found to regenerate skin cells, promote natural collagen and hyaluronic acid production in the skin, and deliver hydrating properties to lock in moisture.
Lemongrass
Has skin healing properties and is an effective cleanser for all skin types. Its antiseptic and astringent properties make lemongrass oil ideal for getting even and glowing skin.
Juniper Berry
Has astringent, calming, purifying, antiseptic and skin healing properties that contribute to its health promoting effects. Can help to fight against breakouts and acne and control excess sebum in the skin.
Lavender
Contains relaxing properties to ease stress, soothe the mind and improve low mood. Helps to ease muscle cramps and aches.
Rose Geranium
Can help to balance the skin's natural oil production. It can minimise the appearance of enlarged pores and brighten skin, and is excellent for those with acne.
Green Clay
Deep cleansing & detoxification. Helps absorb excess sebum (oil) and impurities, deeply cleansing the scalp and hair without stripping moisture, promoting a fresher and balanced scalp.
