Skin Education

You’ve probably heard a lot about SPF, broad-spectrum protection, and UVA/UVB filters. But here’s a new skincare hero quietly making waves in the beauty industry — SeaBoost™. It’s not just another hydrating agent. It’s a marine-powered, skin-loving ingredient that brings deep hydration, mineral nourishment, and long-lasting softness — even in the harshest sunlight.  And yes, we’ve made it a star ingredient in our Clay of Heaven Daily Advance SPF 50 Sunscreen.  Because we believe sun protection should do more than just block UV rays  it should nourish, hydrate, and heal your skin too. What Is SeaBoost™?  SeaBoost™ is a bioactive marine complex derived from nutrient-rich sea plants, minerals, and marine extracts. Think of it as ocean therapy for your skin bottled.  It’s packed with:  ● Marine polysaccharides (natural water-binding agents)  ● Essential minerals like magnesium, calcium, and potassium  ● Amino acids and marine antioxidants  Together, they mimic the ocean’s ability to retain moisture, restore balance, and soothe environmental damage. Why Your Skin Needs Hydration Even in a Sunscreen Most sunscreens focus purely on protection. But in doing so, many leave your skin:  ❌Dry and chalky ❌Sticky or heavy ❌Tight and uncomfortable ❌More prone to post-sun irritation  Here’s the truth:  UV exposure doesn’t just burn your skin  it dehydrates it deeply. That’s why we chose to include SeaBoost™ in our sunscreen: to defend and deeply hydrate at the same time.  The Skin Benefits of SeaBoost™ 1. Intensive Hydration SeaBoost works like a magnet drawing moisture into the skin and locking it in for hours. Your skin feels soft, plump, and bouncy even after long sun exposure.  2. Soothes & Calms It helps reduce redness, irritation, and that uncomfortable tight feeling after being out in the sun making your sunscreen feel more like skincare.  3. Nutrient-Rich Barrier Support The marine minerals in SeaBoost reinforce your skin’s barrier, helping it stay stronger and more resilient under UV and pollution stress.  4. Fights Free Radicals SeaBoost contains marine antioxidants that protect skin from oxidative damage caused by sun, heat, and environmental toxins.   How We Use SeaBoost™ in Our Daily Advance SPF 50 Sunscreen  At Clay of Heaven, we believe your sunscreen should be your first skincare step, not just a protection layer. That’s why our SPF 50 formula includes SeaBoost™, blended with other powerful ingredients like:  ● Bakuchiol – A natural retinol alternative  ● Rice Water – For brightening & hydration  ● Uvinul® A Plus + Avobenzone – For strong UVA/UVB defense  ● Octyl Salicylate + Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate – Lightweight, broad-spectrum protection  Together, these ingredients create a multitasking sunscreen that:  ✅Protects ✅Hydrates ✅Calms ✅Brightens ✅And feels AMAZING on your skin Who Is This Sunscreen For? If you have:  ● Dry or dehydrated skin  ● Sensitive skin that reacts to harsh sunscreens  ● A need for high sun protection without the white cast  ● Skin that feels tight or dull post sun exposure  you’ll love the lightweight, hydrating touch of SeaBoost in every drop of our sunscreen. Perfect for daily wear under makeup or on bare skin.    Final Thought: Your Skin Needs Protection and Hydration, Why Not Both?  Your sunscreen should be more than just a shield. With SeaBoost™, we’ve turned it into a nourishing skin ritual.  So every morning when you apply your Clay of Heaven Daily Advance SPF 50 Sunscreen,  you’re not just guarding your skin you’re feeding it with marine moisture, calming nutrients, and long-lasting softness.  Your skin deserves this upgrade. ✨Dive into hydration. Glide into glow.

When you think of skincare hydration, there’s one name that rises above the rest Hyaluronic Acid.  But don’t let the word “acid” scare you , this isn’t something harsh or exfoliating. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. Hyaluronic Acid is like a tall glass of water for your skin. No matter your skin type  oily, dry, combination, or acne-prone  this miracle molecule plumps, hydrates, and smoothes your skin from within.  And yes, we’ve infused it into both our Glow Up Serum and Resurface Serum for a very specific reason: To make hydration a non-negotiable part of your daily glow.    What is Hyaluronic Acid (and Why Is It So Hyped?)  Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is a naturally occurring molecule found in your skin, eyes, and connective tissues. Its superpower? It can hold up to 1000 times its weight in water.  That means just one gram of HA can bind 6 liters of water, delivering hydration deep into your skin layers. As we age or face daily stress (hello, sun exposure, pollution, and lack of sleep), our natural HA levels drop leading to: ● Dullness ● Fine lines ● Dry patches ● Loss of bounce and firmness That’s where topical HA steps in  like your skin’s personal hydration hero. Why Your Skin Needs Hyaluronic Acid Every Single Day. ✅Deep & Lasting Hydration HA works on both the surface and deeper layers of your skin, attracting moisture and locking it in leaving your skin supple, soft, and dewy.  ✅Plumps Fine Lines Dehydration often shows up as premature fine lines. HA plumps up those areas, making skin look smoother and more youthful  instantly.  ✅ Improves Skin Barrier With proper hydration, your skin’s protective barrier strengthens, reducing sensitivity, redness, and inflammation.  ✅Perfect for ALL Skin Types Whether you’re dry, oily, or breakout-prone, HA delivers hydration without clogging pores or feeling greasy.  ✅Enhances Other Actives Hydrated skin absorbs other ingredients better  so your Vitamin C, Salicylic Acid, and Niacinamide work more effectively.  How We Use Hyaluronic Acid in Our Clay of Heaven Formulas  We don’t use just any hyaluronic acid  we use cosmetic-grade HA, carefully layered into two of our best-selling serums: Glow Up Serum (With 10% Ethyl Ascorbic Acid) In this formula, HA plays the role of balancer. While Vitamin C and Alpha Arbutin work to brighten and even out your skin tone, HA ensures your skin remains plump, hydrated, and irritation-free.  Perfect for morning use Combats dullness, dryness, and fatigue Delivers a lit-from-within glow Resurface Serum (With SalSphere® Salicylic Acid + Tea Tree)  This one’s made for acne-prone skin, which often ends up dehydrated due to harsh treatments. HA in this serum prevents the “drying effect” of exfoliants, restoring your moisture levels without causing oiliness.  Keeps skin calm and soft Prevents sensitivity or flakiness from actives Ideal for AM use to start your day refreshed  How to Use Hyaluronic Acid the Right Way Pro tip: HA works best when applied on damp skin followed by a moisturizer or sunscreen to lock in hydration.  Steps: 1. Cleanse your face 2. While skin is still damp, apply serum with Hyaluronic Acid 3. Follow with sunscreen   Final Thought: Hydration is Not a Luxury, It’s a Necessity. Dry, flaky skin? Oily, yet dehydrated skin? Fine lines? Makeup not sitting right? It all goes back to one thing hydration. With Hyaluronic Acid in your daily routine, you're not just moisturizing You’re deeply nourishing, strengthening your barrier, and helping your skin thrive. That’s why Clay of Heaven’s serums don’t just treat they heal, hydrate, and protect.  Add HA to your routine and experience what truly hydrated skin feels like.

Let’s talk about Vitamin C  the holy grail of bright, glowing, youthful skin. But here’s the catch: not all Vitamin C is created equal. Some oxidize too quickly, some irritate sensitive skin, and some just sit pretty in the bottle doing nothing.  That’s why skincare scientists and dermatologists are raving about a next-gen derivative Ethyl Ascorbic Acid. It’s stable, potent, fast-absorbing, and delivers visible results without the usual Vitamin C drama. And yes  we’ve packed a 10% concentration of it in our best-selling Glow Up Serum at Clay of Heaven.  What is Ethyl Ascorbic Acid? Ethyl Ascorbic Acid is a stable, water-soluble derivative of pure Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid).  In simple terms: it gives you all the powerful benefits of Vitamin C without the irritation, stinging, or instability.  It contains 86.3% of active Vitamin C content, which means it converts quickly once it penetrates the skin, delivering a real glow-up from within.   Why Ethyl Ascorbic Acid is a Game Changer in Skincare Here’s what makes it so popular (and why your skin will love it):  ✅ Highly Stable Unlike pure Vitamin C, which oxidizes in light or air, Ethyl Ascorbic Acid stays fresh and active longer, ensuring every drop of your serum works hard till the last pump. ✅ Gentle on Skin No burning. No redness. No tingling. Even sensitive or acne-prone skin can use it daily without worrying about irritation.  ✅ Fast-Absorbing & Deep-Penetrating It absorbs quickly into the skin and starts working faster  brightening dullness, reducing pigmentation, and stimulating collagen. ✅ Doesn’t Interfere with Other Actives  It plays well with ingredients like niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, salicylic acid, and sunscreen. Perfect for layering in your morning routine.  Key Benefits of Ethyl Ascorbic Acid for Your Skin  1. Brightens and Evens Out Skin Tone Struggling with dull skin or uneven patches? Ethyl Ascorbic Acid breaks down melanin clusters and gives your face a lit-from-within glow. 2. Reduces Hyperpigmentation & Dark Spots It inhibits tyrosinase (the enzyme responsible for melanin production), helping fade acne marks, sun spots, and discoloration. 3. Boosts Collagen Production Vitamin C stimulates fibroblasts to produce more collagen  which means firmer, plumper, youthful-looking skin over time. 4. Protects Against Sun Damage & Pollution Its antioxidant properties protect the skin from free radicals, UV rays, and pollution reducing long-term damage. 5. Supports Skin Healing It calms inflammation, supports tissue repair, and promotes overall skin health Why We Chose 10% Ethyl Ascorbic Acid in Our Glow Up Serum  At Clay of Heaven, we believe in science-backed skincare not empty promises. That’s why our Glow Up Serum includes 10% Ethyl Ascorbic Acid the ideal effective yet safe concentration for daily use.  Here’s what that means for you: ✨ Visible brightness within 10–14 days ✨ Gradual fading of pigmentation over 3–4 weeks ✨ No sensitivity or dryness ✨ Healthy, radiant skin  every single day  Combined with Kakadu Plum, Alpha Arbutin, Licorice Extract, and Ferulic Acid, our formula works synergistically to treat dullness, discoloration, and early signs of aging.  It’s your all-in-one glow solution and it's 100% vegan, cruelty-free, and dermatologically tested.   When & How to Use It  Our Glow Up Serum is made for morning use, right after cleansing.  Step-by-step:  1. Cleanse your face with a gentle face wash 2. Pat dry (leave skin slightly damp) 3. Apply 3–4 drops of the Glow Up Serum evenly 4. Let it absorb 5. Follow with a moisturizer + sunscreen (SPF 50 recommended) Pro Tip: If you're just starting with Vitamin C, use it every other day and build up to daily use.   Ethyl Ascorbic Acid vs. Traditional Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid)  Final Thoughts: Gentle. Potent. Glow-Inducing.  Your skin doesn’t need just any Vitamin C, it needs one that actually works without harming your skin barrier.  With 10% Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, our Glow Up Serum is the sweet spot between results and comfort.  It’s time to say goodbye to dullness, dark spots, and uneven skin — and say hello to daily glow, hydration, and confidence.

Acne can be a persistent and frustrating skin concern, affecting people of all ages and skin types. With a multitude of acne treatments available on the market, it’s crucial to understand the science behind the most effective ingredients. Two standout components in the fight against acne are Salicylic Acid and Tea Tree Extract. At Clay of Heaven, we believe in harnessing the power of these proven ingredients to provide a clear, healthy complexion without irritation. Understanding Acne and Its Causes Before diving into the benefits of Salicylic Acid and Tea Tree Extract, let’s explore what causes acne. Acne occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria. Factors such as hormonal imbalances, stress, diet, and genetics can exacerbate breakouts, making it essential to adopt a skincare routine that targets these underlying causes. Why Salicylic Acid is a Game-Changer Salicylic Acid is a beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) that has been a staple in acne treatments for decades. Its unique properties make it a powerful yet gentle solution for treating and preventing breakouts. Deep Penetration and ExfoliationUnlike water-soluble alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs), Salicylic Acid is oil-soluble, allowing it to penetrate deep into the pores. Once inside, it exfoliates from within, clearing out excess sebum, dead skin cells, and debris that contribute to acne formation. This deep cleansing action unclogs pores and prevents future breakouts, leaving your skin smoother and clearer. Anti-Inflammatory BenefitsAcne is often accompanied by redness, swelling, and inflammation. Salicylic Acid has anti-inflammatory properties that help soothe irritated skin, reduce redness, and calm active breakouts. This makes it suitable for treating both non-inflammatory acne (blackheads and whiteheads) and inflammatory acne (pimples and cysts). Prevents Future BreakoutsConsistent use of Salicylic Acid not only treats existing acne but also helps prevent future breakouts. By keeping pores clear and regulating oil production, it minimizes the likelihood of new blemishes forming. This makes it an excellent preventative measure for those with acne-prone skin. The Natural Power of Tea Tree Extract Tea Tree Extract is a natural essential oil derived from the leaves of the Melaleuca alternifolia plant. It has been used for centuries for its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, making it a trusted ingredient in acne-fighting skincare. Natural AntisepticTea Tree Extract is a potent natural antiseptic that effectively kills acne-causing bacteria. Unlike harsh chemical treatments, Tea Tree Extract targets bacteria without stripping the skin of its natural oils or causing irritation. This makes it a gentle yet effective alternative for those with sensitive or reactive skin. Soothes and Calms Irritated SkinOne of the standout benefits of Tea Tree Extract is its ability to soothe inflamed and irritated skin. It reduces redness and swelling associated with active acne, providing relief and accelerating the healing process. By calming the skin, Tea Tree Extract creates a more even, clear complexion. Non-Comedogenic PropertiesTea Tree Extract is non-comedogenic, meaning it won’t clog your pores. This is especially important for acne-prone individuals who are prone to pore blockages. Instead, it works to balance oil production and keep your skin clear and healthy. How Salicylic Acid & Tea Tree Extract Work Together When combined, Salicylic Acid and Tea Tree Extract create a powerful acne-fighting duo. Salicylic Acid penetrates deep into the pores to unclog and exfoliate, while Tea Tree Extract targets bacteria and soothes inflammation. Together, they provide a holistic approach to treating acne, addressing multiple causes of breakouts and promoting healthier skin. At Clay of Heaven, we’ve incorporated these ingredients into our Daily Detox Face Wash to deliver a potent yet gentle cleansing experience. Our formulation ensures that your skin is deeply cleansed, bacteria is kept at bay, and inflammation is reduced—all without causing dryness or irritation. Additional Benefits of Our Daily Detox Face Wash In addition to Salicylic Acid and Tea Tree Extract, our Daily Detox Face Wash is enriched with soothing and nourishing ingredients like Aloe Vera and Sea Boost. Aloe Vera provides intense hydration and calms irritated skin, while Sea Boost locks in moisture and offers protection from environmental stressors. This comprehensive formulation ensures that your skin is not only acne-free but also hydrated, balanced, and radiant. How to Incorporate Acne Solutions Into Your Routine Cleanse Twice Daily: Use our Daily Detox Face Wash morning and night to clear away impurities and prevent breakouts. Moisturize and Protect: Follow with a lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizer to lock in hydration and keep your skin barrier strong. Don’t forget to apply sunscreen during the day to protect your skin from UV damage. Be Consistent: Acne treatments require consistent use to see results. Stick to your routine and give your skin time to heal and improve. Final Thoughts: Clearer Skin Starts Here Acne doesn’t have to control your confidence or your skincare routine. By understanding the science behind Salicylic Acid and Tea Tree Extract, you can make informed choices that genuinely benefit your skin. At Clay of Heaven, we’re dedicated to creating solutions that harness the best of nature and science, providing you with effective, gentle, and nourishing products that truly work.

In the world of skincare, achieving a radiant, healthy complexion is often at the top of everyone’s list. But with countless products promising to deliver the ultimate glow, it can be challenging to understand what truly works. The secret lies in two powerhouse elements: Vitamin C and antioxidants. These ingredients are more than just trendy buzzwords—they are backed by science and proven to transform your skin in remarkable ways. Why Your Skin Needs Vitamin C & Antioxidants Our skin is constantly exposed to a barrage of environmental stressors, including UV rays, pollution, and free radicals. These stressors cause oxidative stress, leading to dullness, premature aging, and even skin damage. This is where Vitamin C and antioxidants come in as your skin’s best defense. Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant that not only protects your skin from these environmental aggressors but also actively works to improve your complexion. Paired with other antioxidants, this vitamin can rejuvenate your skin, giving you a youthful, vibrant glow. The Role of Vitamin C in Your Skincare Routine Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid or its stabilized form, ethyl ascorbic acid, is a multi-functional ingredient that plays a vital role in maintaining healthy skin. Here’s how Vitamin C transforms your complexion: Brightens and Evens Skin ToneVitamin C is renowned for its ability to brighten dull skin and even out your skin tone. It inhibits melanin production, which helps fade dark spots and hyperpigmentation, leaving your skin looking radiant and refreshed. With consistent use, Vitamin C can give you a more uniform complexion and that coveted glow. Stimulates Collagen ProductionCollagen is a protein that gives your skin its elasticity and firmness. As we age, collagen production naturally declines, leading to fine lines and sagging skin. Vitamin C acts as a collagen booster, stimulating your skin to produce more of this vital protein. The result? Plumper, firmer skin that defies aging. Provides Antioxidant ProtectionOne of Vitamin C’s most crucial roles is its ability to neutralize free radicals. Free radicals are unstable molecules that damage your skin cells, accelerating aging and causing inflammation. By neutralizing these harmful molecules, Vitamin C protects your skin from premature aging and environmental damage. Reduces Inflammation and RednessIf you suffer from redness, irritation, or inflammation, Vitamin C can help calm your skin. Its anti-inflammatory properties soothe your complexion, making it especially beneficial for those with sensitive or acne-prone skin. How Antioxidants Work to Transform Your Skin While Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant, combining it with other antioxidants can amplify its benefits. Antioxidants are crucial for maintaining your skin’s health and appearance, as they fight off the free radicals that cause oxidative stress. Here’s how antioxidants work their magic: Protect Against Environmental DamageEvery day, your skin faces external aggressors like pollution, UV rays, and toxins. Antioxidants act as a shield, preventing these aggressors from causing cellular damage. By defending your skin, antioxidants help maintain a youthful and healthy complexion. Prevent Premature AgingFree radicals can damage your skin’s structural proteins, leading to fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of elasticity. Antioxidants neutralize these free radicals, preventing them from breaking down collagen and elastin. This anti-aging benefit keeps your skin looking smoother and more youthful. Enhance Skin’s Natural Repair ProcessYour skin has a natural ability to repair itself, but antioxidants can speed up this process. They help reduce inflammation, promote healing, and improve overall skin texture, making your skin feel softer and more resilient. Boost Effectiveness of SunscreenDid you know that antioxidants can make your sunscreen more effective? While sunscreen protects your skin from UV rays, antioxidants provide an extra layer of defense. Together, they minimize sun damage and protect against photoaging, which is essential for maintaining a radiant complexion. Key Ingredients to Look For At Clay of Heaven, we believe in the power of Vitamin C and antioxidants to transform your skin. Here are some key ingredients to look for in our products: Ethyl Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C)A stabilized form of Vitamin C that penetrates deep into your skin, delivering brightening and collagen-boosting benefits without causing irritation. Ferulic AcidAn antioxidant that enhances the effectiveness of Vitamin C. It neutralizes free radicals and protects your skin from environmental damage, making your Vitamin C products even more potent. Green Tea ExtractPacked with polyphenols, green tea extract is a natural antioxidant that soothes inflammation and protects against UV damage. It’s also effective in reducing excess oil, making it ideal for acne-prone skin. Licorice ExtractKnown for its skin-brightening properties, licorice extract reduces the appearance of dark spots and evens out your complexion. It also has anti-inflammatory benefits, which help soothe irritated skin. Aloe VeraWhile not an antioxidant, aloe vera complements the effects of Vitamin C and antioxidants by providing deep hydration and soothing properties. It helps calm the skin and boosts your overall glow. How to Incorporate Vitamin C & Antioxidants Into Your Routine To reap the full benefits of Vitamin C and antioxidants, consistency is key. Here’s how to incorporate these powerful ingredients into your skincare routine: Cleanse Your SkinStart with a gentle cleanser to remove dirt, oil, and impurities. Apply a Vitamin C SerumAfter cleansing, apply a few drops of Vitamin C serum to your face and neck. This step ensures your skin gets a concentrated dose of antioxidants for maximum protection and brightening. Moisturize and ProtectFollow up with a moisturizer to lock in hydration. Don’t forget to apply sunscreen during the day, as Vitamin C works best when paired with UV protection. Use Antioxidant-Rich ProductsIncorporate products like our Glow Up Serum that are rich in antioxidants, ensuring your skin is defended against environmental stressors while also receiving the nourishment it needs to thrive. Final Thoughts: The Path to Radiant Skin The journey to a glowing complexion is rooted in understanding the science behind your skincare. By incorporating Vitamin C and antioxidants into your daily routine, you can protect, brighten, and rejuvenate your skin. At Clay of Heaven, we are passionate about creating products that combine the best of nature and science to deliver visible, long-lasting results.
