Description

Polish, don't punish.

Masa & Olive Face Paste is a creamy botanical facial polish that gently exfoliates while replenishing moisture. Finely ground corn (masa) buffs away dull, flaky skin as olive oil leaves your complexion soft, comfortable, and nourished instead of tight.

Inspired by one of humanity's oldest cultivated plants, this scrub celebrates corn not only as nourishment, but as a reminder of our deep relationship with the natural world.If your skin is looking dull, rough, or thirsty, Masa & Olive delivers a deeper polish than our Light as a Featha Cleanser while still respecting your skin barrier.

Great for:
Normal to dry skin
Flaky or rough patches
Weekly exfoliation
Dull complexions
Face and body polishing
2 fl oz

Ritual

 For the face, scoop about ½ teaspoon into your palm and mix with a splash of water. Massage gently onto damp skin using circular motions, then rinse clean.

For the body, use anywhere that could use a little extra polish—elbows, knees, legs, feet, or anywhere roughness likes to linger.

Use one or two times per week.

Coven Tip: Always scoop with a clean, dry spoon and keep water out of the jar to extend freshness.

FAQ
Can I use this on my body?
Absolutely. It's wonderful on elbows, knees, feet, legs, or anywhere that could use a little extra smoothing
Is this good for dry winter skin?
Yes. Masa & Olive was formulated to exfoliate while replenishing moisture, making it especially helpful when skin feels rough, flaky, or dehydrated.
Is this a cleanser or an exfoliator?
Primarily an exfoliator. It gently cleanses as you massage it into damp skin, but its primary job is polishing away dead skin while leaving behind nourishing botanical oils.
What skin types is Masa & Olive Face Paste best for?
This exfoliant is best suited for normal to dry skin types, especially skin experiencing flakiness, dullness, or dehydration. Those with very sensitive or reactive skin may prefer Light as a Featha Cleanser.
How often should I use this?
Once or twice a week is ideal. Overuse may lead to overstimulation, especially for dry or sensitive skin.
How is this different from Light as a Featha or Earth Polish?
• Light as a Featha is the gentlest option, ideal for sensitive or daily use
• Masa & Olive offers deeper exfoliation with added moisture
• Earth Polish provides daily exfoliation for oily or congested skin
