Parsley Seed Cleansing Masque

Parsley Seed Cleansing Masque by Aesop is formulated for normal, combination, oily skin. Aesop's Parsley Seed Cleansing Masque is a weekly-reset clay mask that does what Aesop does best: take a simple concept (clay mask) and execute it with ingredient precision and zero marketing noise. Dual clays — kaolin for gentle oil absorption, bentonite for deeper pore extraction — form the base. Lactic acid at a low concentration provides mild chemical exfoliation without the sting of glycolic. Parsley seed extract (Petroselinum crispum) adds antioxidant protection. Tea tree oil (Melaleuca alternifolia) contributes antibacterial action, and cedarwood oil gives it the kind of woody-herbal scent that makes the application feel like a ritual rather than a chore. Macadamia oil prevents the clay from over-stripping. The formula is straightforward, the texture is satisfying, and the results — tighter pores, clearer skin, less surface oiliness — are immediate enough to justify the weekly commitment. Classic Aesop: nothing revolutionary, everything refined.
