Quartz is a mineral and fossilized resin. It’s one of earth’s strongest materials. What makes quartz in skincare valuable in skincare is its silica content. Silica is one of the largest components of collagen, the main structural protein in skin and other connective tissues and important factor in skin soft, supple and moisturized skin.
Quartz in skincare helps remove dead skin cells.
The most common form of quartz is silicon dioxide or crystalline silica.
Silicon is very important for skin health which is why it’s more and more formulated into cosmetic clays.
All six ever-moist cosmetic clays created by PHYTO5 contain quartz which is specifically prepared for cosmetic use. The clay masks gently remove dead skin cells and perform these specific functions:
Wood element green Clay Mask encourages vital energy flow and helps balance oily skin.
Fire element red Clay Mask soothes sensitive, irritated red blotchy skin and balances blood circulation.
Earth element yellow Clay Mask helps detoxify skin with acne, blemishes and enlarged pores. It encourages flow of lymph which bathes tissues of toxins carrying them out through the bloodstream.
Metal element white Clay Mask mineralizes, oxygenates and decongests puffy dull skin with fine lines. It helps balance micro-circulation.
Water element black Clay Mask deeply hydrates skin and encourages elasticity, tone and water balance in the skin.
Ageless soothing pink Clay Mask improves circulation, helps regenerate skin and by strengthening collagen fibers and skin’s elasticity.
Quartz in skincare is best in certain cosmetic applications.
This very hard mineral proves stable in all types of cosmetic formulations including those that are water-based. But because quartz can be difficult to maintain in suspension PHYTO5 primarily uses quartz crystal powder in its thicker cosmetic clay formulations.
Cosmetic ingredient formulators have to precisely prepare quartz to make it suitable for face exfoliation. They grind quartz down to extremely tiny particles with a gently rounded shape. No radiation or chemical process is involved.

Quartz in skincare offers skin many glowing benefits.
Completely natural and pure quartz provides many benefits for skin including exceptional exfoliation.
When finely pulverized quartz is added to cosmetic clays it naturally and precisely exfoliates skin.
Synthetic polyethylene micro-beads are most commonly used in exfoliating skincare. But PHYTO5 finds finely pulverized natural quartz crystal powder superior in helping to remove layers of dead skin cells.
It buffs old skin cells to reveal new softer more illuminated skin.
Quartz in skincare also encourages better micro-circulation—the circulation of blood in the tiniest blood vessels. In this process it helps renew the stratum corneum or outermost layer of the epidermis. This action leaves skin refreshed, rejuvenated, healthy looking and beautifully flushed.
Quartz indirectly helps improve skin strength and elasticity. It helps your body synthesize collagen and activate detoxifying enzymes.
Expertly prepared quartz in skincare encourages skin regeneration by smoothing the epidermis. It does this without affecting skin’s hydrolipidic film.(1)
Of all minerals, quartz might be the most energizing. It’s well known for its calming, comforting and protective properties.
Quartz in skincare can support your vital energy flow. Known to generate light, it can bring light to your skin on a subtle level.
Benefit from quartz in skincare with PHYTO5 quantum energetic ever-moist Clay Masks.
They’re easy to apply and enjoyable to use:
You can do it with your hands but using an application brush is best.
After completely covering face and neck, leave the ever-moist mask on for 10 to 15 minutes.
Next, wet your hands lightly and with your fingertips gently massage the mask in small circular motions over face and neck. This further promotes the exfoliation effect.
Finally, rinse well with warm water to remove the clay.
Along with helping create a peel effect the quartz and other other clay and essential oil hero ingredients in the clays help oxygenate skin. This gives skin a healthy glow.
The regenerating and age-mitigating effects offered by quartz in skincare goes back many thousands of years.
The ancient Egyptians believed quartz could slow the aging process so they often applied a powdered form to the skin.
Egyptian and Roman women made rose quartz face masks to clear facial congestion and, of course, look younger.

The hydrolipidic film is a a protective film which helps skin retain moisture and the prevent harm from environmental aggressions.
