Is agave an alternate mixing agent to regular honey?
Yes, agave is an acceptable alternate if honey is too sticky for the client. Raw and organic are the key words when choosing your ingredient. In the conventional market, non-organic or cooked honey (or agave) may be sprayed with pesticides in very high doses which would then be absorbed into the skin. Note: Our primary recommendation is organic raw honey. Honey is nature’s first-aid kit for the skin. It is a traditional ingredient used for thousands of years in beauty products. It has anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties and is loaded with active enzymes. It is highly hydrating for the skin. Upon application, honey instantly melts to your body temperature thus bypassing its “sticky nature,” creating a silken texture. This keeps the masks moist and in place. If you prefer to use water as another alternate mixing agent, the masks will still perform well. Back to top.
