And they smelled incredible. The Raspberry Pore Refining Masque was wine red with plump seeds, like homemade preserves. The Coconut Crème Masque looked like whipped crème fraiche and was great for hydrating skin. I’m pretty picky about scent but this coconut smelled amazing because it was exactly that. No synthetic fragrance or cloying suntan lotion smell. The coconut oil, coconut milk and shea butter left my skin soft and plumped. The mask also contains Biocomplex,™ an antioxidant cocktail of Vitamin A, Vitamin C Ester, Vitamin E, Coenzyme Q10, Alpha Lipoic Acid.
