Our products are always plant-based. The products we use are not directly from animal or byproduct. While our products are always cruelty-free, animal free and non-toxic (not to mention AMAZING for the skin) a few of the ingredients are made in a factory that also makes non-vegan products, so we can't guarantee that they are 100% vegan. If that's not much of a worry to you though, our cacao is 100% cacao (no dairy or sugar) and our other ingredients were made without animal additives or any kind. Disclaimer: We do not consider honey a violation of our vegan beliefs. We know some vegans are very sensitive about the bees, which is why we use organic traceable honey from farms where bees are humanely treated.

We hope not! All of the ingredients used in APSE products (but especially the face masks) are natural! Most of them are even edible, but like with most foods, make sure you know what your body can and cannot handle. If you are allergic to any of the ingredients in the masks please do not use that particular mask. Ingredients are listed on the bottle label and on the site. Our site is always open for questions concerning our products as well, so don’t hesitate to reach out!

APSE products are designed to aid in the natural healing of various skin afflictions. We do not claim to have a cure for any ailment and avidly promote a healthy diet as a prevention for acne, discoloration, break outs, etc. The FDA has not evaluated our statements and, as with any new product, you should always patch test to make sure the product you've purchased is right for you. It's also pretty important to note that, with all things, what works for one person may not work for you. No product is a "quick fix" and patience is key. Couple our products with a healthy diet for best results!

As with all of our products, a spot test is the best way to go! Using the chosen product, coat a small, unnoticeable patch of skin and wait at least 24 hours to see if it reacts negatively. If your skin condition gets better or no harmful reaction is observed, you're good to go! However, if the skin worsens in any way, stop use immediately. It is important to note that APSE cannot take back or refund any used products. APSE is also not responsible for any allergic reactions, break outs or inflammations due to products. Please visit our terms and conditions or email us at info@AncientPathSE for more info.

Unactivated masks last about 5 months. Activated masks are safe to use anywhere between 2 and 5 weeks after activation. Refrigerate all unused activated masks after opening. Regardless of what the mask expiration period is, make sure you note any mold, unusual smells, odd discoloration*** or tiny black spots in your mask. If any of these or any other odd activity occur with your mask, throw it out immediately. ***Some ingredients like Turmeric tend to color bleed after sitting. This is normal. The color change in your mask, however, should match with your mask ingredients. For example, the Keep It Smooth! Mask has Pomegranate Juice Powder. So once activated, some redish color bleeding is not odd. The Keep It Matte! mask, however, has no Pomegranate Juice Powder, or any other red powders. If this begins to turn red, toss it immediately.

Freeze It! Freezing an activated mask is the perfect way to retain moisture and save money. Just grab an old school ice tray, use plastic wrap to line the insides for easy removal, separate the mask into each little hole and store! The mask should last an additional month in the freezer. You can also prevent mask waste by only activating a little at a time. Mix the mask powder before opening, then only pour out about 3 tablespoons of powder into a clean bowl. Portion your honey (if applicable) as needed and mix with water. Store the rest of the honey and powder in a dry space.

It's totally up to you! Just keep in mind that Manuka Honey Pods, for the masks that have them, have been portioned for the entire mask. So you may not see the same results it you choose to activate some now and save the rest. The great thing is that the Manuka Honey Pods have a long life span. So If you choose not to use it or want to space it out between uses, it'll always be ready when you need it.
