Bentonite belongs to the geological memory of the lagoon: volcanic material carried from the Alpine world and laid down in the ancient Caranto beneath Venice. In Lalaguna’s mask, its value is equally elemental: the clay swells, binds excess oil and surface impurities, and is then rinsed away, leaving the skin cleaner, calmer and more refined.

Illite belongs to the mineral language of the lagoon and helps give the Caranto mask its balanced character. It absorbs excess oil and surface impurities, while tempering the stronger action of bentonite to leave the skin clean without feeling stripped.

Aqua is the principal solvent in most emulsions, serums and ready-to-use masks, allowing water-soluble ingredients to be distributed evenly through the formula. Its role is simple but indispensable: it provides the medium in which much of the formulation can function.

Kaolin is the gentler yellow clay in Lalaguna’s interpretation of the Caranto, the ancient mineral layer beneath the Venetian lagoon where Alpine sediment and Adriatic material meet. It absorbs excess surface oil while softening the stronger action of bentonite, leaving the skin cleansed without the severity of a more aggressive clay mask.

Benzyl Alcohol is produced naturally by different plants. We use it principally as part of the preservation system, helping protect the water-containing cosmetic from microbial contamination after opening. This is one of the ingredients we use for the product to remain safe and stable during normal use.

Pinus Sylvestris Oil brings a cooler Mediterranean note: resin, dry wood and the shade of coastal pine forests after the heat of the day. In the Caranto mask, it gives the mineral clays a cleaner, more aromatic character, adding freshness without competing with the mask’s essential work.

Citrus Limonum Oil brings the unmistakable brightness of the Mediterranean to the mineral depth of the Caranto mask. Its fresh citrus note lifts the earthy clays, giving the ritual a cleaner, sunnier character without pretending that fragrance is the source of the mask’s cleansing power.
