Primally Pure Coffee Face Mask

This rinse-off mask is made to support skin that feels dull or in need of a little wake-up boost. It combines raw honey and kaolin clay for a balanced cleanse with a blend of coffee-derived ingredients that help skin look more refreshed. Ginger hydrosol, botanical extracts, and a touch of orange essential oil give it a warm, uplifting feel, while probiotic ferments help skin feel more balanced rather than stripped.

What I Like

  • EWG rating: 3, based on entering the ingredient list into the EWG Skin Deep Analyzer.

  • I like the way this mask feels more invigorating than many clay masks, thanks to the coffee-derived ingredients and ginger hydrosol.

  • Honey and kaolin clay help give a balanced finish that doesn’t feel overly tight.

  • The overall scent and experience feel uplifting without feeling artificial.

Things to Keep in Mind

  • The EWG rating of 3 is driven primarily by the organic orange essential oil. This is generally flagged due to fragrance and limited long-term data, not because of recognized harm from typical topical cosmetic use. In rinse-off products, a score of 3 does not necessarily reflect a safety concern for most people, but it may be more stimulating for very sensitive skin.

  • This contains essential oils and botanical extracts, which can feel too stimulating for some barrier-impaired, rosacea-prone, or fragrance-reactive skin. Patch testing before first use can help you gauge tolerance.

  • Clay masks can be drying if overused, so shorter wear time or less frequent use may be more comfortable for dry or compromised skin barriers.

  • This product is not vegan due to raw honey.

Sensitive Skin & Pregnancy Considerations

This formula does not include retinoids or other commonly pregnancy-restricted actives. For sensitive, reactive, or barrier-impaired skin — including hormonal sensitivity — the most likely source of irritation is the orange essential oil and other botanical fragrance components. Patch testing on the jawline for a few nights is a reasonable step before regular full-face use if you know fragrance-related ingredients can be reactive for you.

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