Strong preservatives, fragrance and essential oils can trigger irritation
Our Fruit AHAs Exfoliating Mask was formulated to avoid these hidden triggers and keep sensitive skin calm and nourished.
Exfoliation + Nourishment
It leaves my skin smooth and bright and while it exfoliates, it nourishes it at the same time. It does what it says on the tin (no pun intended). Love it! Jana
Gentle on sensitive skin
Exfoliators usually cause me irritation because of my sensitive skin but this one is very gentle. My skin looks healthier and feels a lot smoother. Lauren
Key Ingredients
White Willow Bark Extract: as the pores in our skin collect dirt and debris they become irritated; exfoliation clears away this unwanted pollution and dead cells. The bark of the beautiful White Willow tree provides us with a natural source of salicylic acid, known to encourage anti-microbial activity, cell renewal and antioxidant protection without the associated irritation that synthetic salicylic acid can cause.
Natural Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs): from Bilberry, Sugar Cane, Orange, Lemon, and Sugar Maple extracts, to gentle exfoliate impurities and help minimise the appearance of wrinkles.
Instructions
Apply with dry fingers onto dry face and massage gently for a minute with your hands. Leave for four minutes then rinse thoroughly and pat dry gently with a clean towel. Do not introduce water in the jar and keep it tightly closed to avoid compromising the product’s self-preserving ability. Do not use beyond the the BBE date (Best Before end of).
Please note: this product contains a very small percentage of RSPO-Certified palm oil. Read where we stand on palm oil.
Formula & Manufacturing Process
A minimalist, self-preserving formulation with negligible water use. We use an oil-thickener and emulsifier based on sugar chemistry to create a rich and stable gel without the use of petroleum-derived gelling agents or surfactants. The manufacturing process takes place with minimum use of heat.
Olive squalane is an emollient - it softens the skin - derived from olive oil. It is similar to squalene, which occurs naturally in the sebum produced by the sebaceous glands in our skin. It is very light, it has great spreading properties and it's quickly absorbed by the skin leaving no oily residue.
Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride. It's an emollient, making the skin feel smooth. It is very light, non-greasy and it absorbs fast. It can be derived from coconut oil and glycerin.
Aqua (Water). It's a liquid at standard temperature and pressure with the chemical formula H2O: one molecule of water has two hydrogen atoms covalently bonded to a single oxygen atom.
Rosmarinus Officinalis Leaf Extract. This extract comes from the dried leaves of the familiar rosemary plant (Rosmarinus officinalis L.), from which a dark brown, viscous liquid is obtained using a process called supercritical carbon dioxide extraction. The presence of phenolic diterpenes (mainly carnosic acid and carnosol) have been recognised to have potent antioxidant properties which retard the oxidation of fatty and essential oils, as well as carotenoids. This inherent attribute helps prolong the oxidative shelf-life of our finished products. The aromatic plant, with its strong, distinctive smell, has long been used in folk medicine as it also has some antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties.
Botanical Ingredients
When considering sustainable skincare, an often overlooked aspect is the provenance and impact of the ingredients themselves.
We choose botanical ingredients and prioritise those that are either waste by-products of other clean companies, obtained via fermentation processes or lab-grown like micro-algae.
100% Plastic-Free Skincare
Our packaging is 100% plastic-free. You won’t find a small plastic cap, insert, label, lid or dropper. When we say no plastic, we mean it. Our aluminium containers are reusable and endlessly recyclable.
Vegan Friendly & Cruelty-Free
All our botanical ingredients are vegan-friendly and we are proud to be approved as cruelty-free under the Leaping Bunny Programme, the best global cruelty-free assurance.
100% Petroleum-free Skincare
Petroleum is not renewable, therefore not sustainable. This includes mineral oil, PEGs (polyethylene glycols), SLS/SLES (sodium lauryl sulfate / sodium laureth sulfate) and parabens. Thousands of plant-derived cosmetic ingredients exist, and there is absolutely no good reason to incorporate petroleum into our skincare routines.
Palm-Free
We use either alternatives to palm-oil or Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) certified derivatives that have not been farmed through deforestation. At present, all our products are palm-free, with the exception of our Fruit AHAs Exfoliating Mask which contains a very small percentage of a RSPO certified palm derivative.

Organic
Whenever possible or available, we prioritise organic ingredients.
One Product, One Tree
As a way to give back and help reduce the amount of carbon out there, we have partnered with One Tree Planted. For every product we sell, we will plant one tree with them. This tangible act will have lasting effect beyond your product and hopefully beyond all of us!
Transparent
We pledge to always tell it like it is. No exaggerations, distorted information, convenient omissions, concealed facts, baffling marketing gibberish or superstition.
Whitfords Studio
Our London studio was designed and built in-house and all our products are made there: we don’t use external manufacturers. It’s an FSC-certified timber-frame unit complete with green roof to catch all rain water. The electricity used is 100% certified renewable and UK generated, adding to the goal of conserving resources whenever possible.

This mask is incredible, I love how it makes my skin feel during and after using it, so fresh. I’ve been trying to move away from a big brand exfoliator but haven’t been able to find a good replacement until now – I’m converted, it’s excellent and I would recommend everyone try it for a really glowing skin.
