Q: My The BEAN mask is very hard, what can I do?
Sometimes The BEAN mask may harden to due cold temperatures, as it contains honey and hydrosol. You can scoop out the amount desired, and warm it gently on the palm of your hand or treatment bowl. Add a few drops of warm water, if a more smoother consistency is desired.

Q: I left my mask on for too long, whats the best way to remove?
The BEAN mask is the type of treatment that no harm will be done if you leave it on for longer than 20 minutes. To rinse, we recommend you place a warm washcloth over your face to soften the mask, and then gently remove with either the same washcloth, or rinse and exfoliate with palms of your hands

Q: Why do you have Potassium Sorbate?, and is it natural?
A. We include Potassium Sorbate in the formula as a preservative to prevent development of mold and yeast. Our Potassium Sorbate is salt of sorbic acid derived from mountain ash tree berries, and is naturally derived.

Storage

MAHALO Skin Care products are crafted using fresh, natural ingredients. It is therefore important to store products in cool, dry space. Ideally, your special beauty cabinet in the coolest room of your house. Bathroom is generally not the best place to store our products, as it tends to get both humid and hot, which might shorten the shelf-life and efficacy of the product.

We strongly recommend you begin using the product upon receiving it from MAHALO or one of our authorized retailers, and not storing them for later use. We craft each product to order, so you can rest assured that you will always receive the freshest batch when you order from our website. Use The BEAN antioxidant mask within 6 months from the date of opening to ensure maximum efficacy.

Using clean spoon or spatula to scoop out the product, and not your fingers, will help in keeping unwanted bacteria away from your skin treasures.

Please note, though our products do not contain conventional preservatives like parabens, we have put tremendous efforts in developing alternative “green” preservation systems that ensures broad spectrum preservation of our products that contain honey, and hydrosols.
