Earth Harbor Deep Sea Charcoal Detoxifying Mask

This detoxifying powder mask is meant to give skin a deep-clean reset without leaving it feeling overly tight. It blends Italian green clay and coconut-derived activated charcoal with cacao, coconut fruit powder, and a mix of ocean and antioxidant-supporting ingredients to help decongest and smooth the look of texture. The finish is more “clean and refreshed” than stripped, which is what I look for in a detox-style mask.

What I Like

  • EWG rating: 2, based on entering the ingredient list into the EWG Skin Deep Analyzer.

  • I like that this is a detox mask that still includes supportive ingredients like allantoin and zinc oxide, so it feels more balanced than a straight clay-and-charcoal formula.

  • The cacao and vanilla make it feel like a little self-care moment, not just a “treatment” mask.

  • This is a good option when skin feels congested, dull, or like it needs a deeper clean.

Things to Keep in Mind

  • This contains multiple citrus peel oils (orange, lemon, mandarin, bergamot, tangerine, clementine). If you are fragrance-reactive, rosacea-prone, or currently barrier-impaired, those aromatic oils are the most likely reason this could feel tingly or irritating.

  • Clay and charcoal can feel drying if overused. If your skin runs dry, shorter wear time or less frequent use is usually the sweet spot.

Sensitive Skin & Pregnancy Considerations

This formula does not include retinoids or other commonly pregnancy-restricted skincare actives. For sensitive or reactive skin, the main watch-outs are the citrus peel oils and bergamot oil, which can be more stimulating for fragrance-sensitive skin types. If you are eczema- or rosacea-prone, or if you are actively flaring, patch testing is a reasonable step before using it on the full face.

Essential oil transparency note: essential oils can carry trace contaminants depending on sourcing and processing. Feather & Nest prioritizes brands that prioritize purity practices and ingredient transparency to help minimize unwanted impurities.
