A potent, multi-layered masking treatment that provides both immediate results as well as helps to build the foundation for long-term skin vitality, Oasis Enzyme Mask is a sanctuary for skin. A blend of Prickly Pear and Fermented Cranberry enzymes promote the skin’s natural exfoliation cycle to advance cellular renewal and clear out non-productive cells for optimal barrier function, repair, and enhancement of nutrient absorption. On application, the skin is treated to a rich, cooling gelée loaded with full spectrum chia seed along with a fermented yerba santa extract to infuse hydration, soothe irritation, and fortify the microbiome as new cells emerge. After the gel layer is removed, the encapsulated and oil-based phytocompounds are well absorbed and continue to be delivered overtime: replenishing the core vitamin trinity found in the skin (vitamins A, C, and E), brightening and evening out skin tone with mulberry and uva ursi extracts, and supporting the skin's recovery process from UV damage with a unique carotenoid complex that includes supercritical extracts of carrot and tomato, along with cold pressed cranberry oil. With an aroma that's mildly herbal with a hint of garden vegetables and berries, Oasis Enzyme Mask is a calming, brightening, and revitalizing mask that will have you basking in the radiance and vitality of your skin after every use.

Apply to cleansed skin, it can be damp or toweled dry.
Massage in a quarter size of product (2-3 pumps with the full sized bottle). An additional pump can be used for the neck and chest area if desired.
- Standard Method (more gentle): Allow the mask to sit for 8-12 minutes before rinsing off or preferably using a cool, damp cloth to press the skin and gently wipe away the enzymes while leaving the nutritive extracts behind to enhance your natural glow.
- Gommage Method (more active): Using a quarter size of gel, massage well for about 2-3 minutes. Then let sit for 5 minutes. To remove, gently roll off the gel to enhance the “peeling” process. This can take a 2-3 minutes to fully remove. Finalize with a cool towel compress and very gently, wipe off any excess gel.
Immediately after the masking experience, the skin will feel soft and refreshed. The following day, it will feel even more refined and a bit firmer. Overtime with regular use, the complexion will look even-toned, glowing and vibrant.

Founded by deeply-studied and wealth-of-knowledge herbalist Carolyn McRory in 2016, Live Botanical started its journey as a dream that formed over 20 years ago. The heart of Live Botanical is the intense desire to connect more with Mother Nature and share her beauty and wisdom with others; and Carolyn believes the path to a more sustainable society is to encourage ideas of conservation through compassion: we must see ourselves in nature and nature within ourselves to change mindsets. Through herbal-based skincare, Carolyn is able to tell a story to help forge a relationship with the many wonders of the natural world. With vivid botanical imagery and products designed for personal care, she hopes we are reminded every day of the beauty in the world and, more importantly, the beauty that lives within each of us.
Live Botanical’s philosophy is based upon four guiding principles: to live beautiful, to live fresh, to live responsible, and to live simple.
To Live Beautiful - Formulas are rooted in creating balance and harmony, and to enhance what makes each of us unique because they believe that loving who we are at this moment and following our intuition is where beauty begins.
To Live Fresh – Whole plant infusions, botanical extracts, unrefined oils, waxes, and butters are at the core of every product. Infusions and extracts are created in-house in their Portland, Oregon studio. And they start with locally- and regionally-sourced fresh herbs from small farms or their own micro-garden that they dry in house (instead of purchasing pre-dried herbs) as much as possible to ensure the potency and quality meets their high standards. They also source with an idea of using abundant herbs to limit their impact on the earth.
To Live Responsible - Both environmental and social responsibility are value statements they hold dear in every decision made. Sourcing follows strict guidelines, and ingredients not obtained regionally are fair-trade certified (when applicable). They work with farmers and producers who follow organic guidelines or ethical wildharvesting using rules outlined by United Plant Savers. Oils, butters, and waxes must be GMO free and unrefined or minimally refined depending on formulation requirements. Preservatives and lab-based ingredients are researched extensively for environmental impact and personal safety. They also actively give back to organizations who honor environmental stewardship and who work to uplift marginalized communities relating to equality and justice.
To Live Simple - They embrace the art of slow living by taking time to connect more with plants and customers to impart feelings of love, patience, and acceptance. Products are crafted to bridge current knowledge and traditional wisdom into every formula. They consider themselves anti-capitalists. This means they remain purposefully small with extremely low overhead to ensure products are affordable and markups are as low as possible. Their goals are based in the love of nature and helping others connect to the outside world.
