20 Best Organic Face Masks of 2021 (For Every Skin Concern)

WRITTEN BY: DIANE ELIZABETH K. | PUBLISHED: 05/12/2017 | LAST UPDATED: 12/03/2020

What’s not to love about an effective and truly organic face mask? Not only are organic masks little luxurious at-home spa treats, they are also powerful routine treatments for our skin.

Benefits of Organic Face Masks

For example, using a gently formulated fruit enzyme and alpha hydroxy organic face mask a few times per week can work wonders for those with acne-prone skin and acne scarring. Mature skin types can get a boost of radiance from masks that contain ingredients which boost cell turnover and stimulate collagen production (like tamanu oil, avocado oil, and vitamin c). Even those with very dry skin can achieve glowing dewy skin by routinely using masks with ingredients like rose oil, fruit enzymes, aloe vera, and hyaluronic acid. Additionally, almost any skin type can benefit from a simple weekly clay mask that removes dead skin, kills acne-causing bacteria, unclogs pores, and reduces redness.

20 Best Organic Face Masks

The organic masks on this list contain nothing from the list of “bad guy” ingredients (like parabens, phthalates, sulfates, petrochemicals, mineral oils, peg compounds, and ethoxylated ingredients) which are no good for your skin and have been linked to cancer. Instead, these organic masks will bathe your skin with essential fatty acids, vitamins, fruit enzymes, clays, and essential oils that work to nourish and renew the skin’s appearance from the inside out.

Remember, just because an ingredient is organic and all-natural doesn’t mean that won’t irritate your skin. Each mask has been formulated to treat specific skin concerns (like dry skin, acne, wrinkles, scars, etc.) so be sure to read the tips for each mask and choose the best ones for your skin type. Happy masking!

This mask definitely ranks amongst our top 5 best organic face masks we've ever tried. This highly active botanical flash mask only needs 5 minutes to get the job done. In just five minutes, this black mask exfoliates, brightens, tightens, and increases circulation. The secret is that this little jar is packed with potent ingredients such as fruit enzymes from pumpkin, fig, and pineapple, hematite, ferulic acid, and two different kinds of mineral-rich sea algae. Definitely NOT suitable for sensitive skin.

*May Lindstrom – The Problem Solver Warming Mask ($100)

This organic mask is so intense (in a good way) that it warms when you mix it! The rich dark powder of raw cacao, activated bamboo charcoal, and red sea salt transforms into a heavenly mousse when water is added to the mix. Once this magic mousse touches your skin it starts absorbing excess oil, unclogging pores, and tightening skin all while the gentle warmth increases blood flow. It also includes a blend of turmeric, vitamin c, clays, salts, and essential oils which are effective enough to treat just about any skin condition.

*Cocokind – Certified Organic Chlorophyll Mask

This organic mask proves that you don't always need fancy ingredients to make an effective product. This gorgeous green mask is made with just four organic ingredients: spirulina powder, wheatgrass powder, chlorella powder, and ylang ylang oil. Add just a hint of water and this powder transforms into an ultra-silky smooth emerald green mud that glides onto the skin like paint. Because the mask is so simple, our testers had fun adding other ingredients like honey, rosewater, and aloe vera water to their masks. Super affordable and super fun!

*Made Simple – Spirulina Hemp USDA Organic Face Mask ($25)

An affordable USDA certified organic face mask made with just seven 100% organic ingredients: spirulina (detoxifying & packed with vitamins + minerals), hemp seed (omega fatty acids), oat powder (mild exfoliant), aloe leaf powder (soothing), chamomile (anti-inflammatory), and a blend of palmarosa and geranium essential oils. While this mask was designed for sensitive skin, it's also fantastic for dry, mature skin types. Just add a hint of water (or your favorite toner), mix, apply, and let sit for up to 15 mins.

*Odacite – Synergie[4] Immediate Skin Perfecting Mask ($64)

This all natural face mask is called the Synergie[4] because it delivers four potent results: detoxification, exfoliation, brightening, and firmness. To detox, the mask uses a blend of activated charcoal and kaolin clay to pull out grime from deep within the pores. For exfoliation, fruit acids and enzymes like papaya enzymes, malic acid, and tartaric acid work to dissolve dead skin. Finally, this face mask brightens and firms with a powerful dose of vitamin C and probiotics. We love the silky smooth texture, but we love the instant results even more!

*Laurel Skin – Honey Berry Enzymatic Organic Face Mask ($54)

While we seriously love all of Laurel Skin's products, this Honey Berry Mask is something special. This 100% organic mask is made with super simple, yet powerful ingredients which gently exfoliate, plump, and firm the skin. The lead active ingredient in this mask is raw California wildflower honey along with a bounty of enzymatic berries like blackberries, raspberries, blueberries, black raspberries, schisandra berries, and aronia berries. To use, you simply massage a teaspoon of the berry mask onto damp skin and let sit for up to 30 minuets.

*Four Sigmatic – Mushroom Organic Face Mask & Tonic

A face mask that's literally good enough to eat (or drink)! Four Sigmatic may be known for their delicious mushroom beverages, but they are quickly becoming known for their amazing mushroom skin care. This mask seriously rivals some of the best luxury organic masks out there. Using a blend of cacao powder, cinnamon, activated charcoal, nutmeg, ginseng, gotu kola, ginger, and a blend of Reishi + Chaga mushroom, this mask both deeply detoxifies and awakens the skin. Best of all? Yep, you can even drink this mask as a tea when you're done. Now THAT's clean beauty.

*Amala – Collagen-Boosting Peptide Mask ($88)

A vitamin C packed jelly mask designed to dramatically boost skin smoothness. This organic mask touts that it can deliver results in just one use. While we did notice smoother skin after the first use, the real results were noticeable after the first few weeks of usage.To say that this mask helps to brighten and tighten skin is an understatement. Our testers couldn't stop touching their faces! Star ingredients of this five-star spa gem include real gold, vitamin c, organic rose damascena oil, hyaluronic acid, squalane, and spirulina (to name a few).

*100% Pure – Plant Cellulose Organic Jelly Masks ($8)

These hydrogel organic masks from 100% Pure are fun an effective! These jelly-like masks are made from 95% organic aloe vera juice and 5% plant cellulose. The masks in three varieties (Green Tea, Ginseng, and Caffeine), each wrapped in a tray filled with a treatment liquid made with ingredients like green tea, calendula, hyaluronic acid, cucumber hydrosol, and oolong tea. These organic face masks do not stick to the skin, so you need to lay back fro about 15-20 minutes while the mask rests on your face. No need to rinse off when done.

*La Bella Figura – Purifying Manuka Honey Face Mask ($70)

It's hard to find a better ingredient for acne-prone skin than raw manuka honey. That's why this organic manuka honey face mask from La Bella Figura should be tested by all those with stubborn acne. Manuka honey is one of the most potent natural antibacterial agents on the planet. This mask combines the power of authentic manuka honey with other pore-shrinking, acne-busting, oil-balancing ingredients like kaolin clay, black cumin seed oil, willow bark, burdock root, turmeric, myrrh, activated charcoal, and many others! A real work horse.

This luscious activate charcoal, cacao fruit, and aloe vera mask is just what the doctor ordered for acne prone skin. This organic mask is made with deeply detoxifying and blemish-fighting ingredients like bentonite clay, kaolin clay, willow bark, turmeric, rosemary water, and lavender. Each of these ingredients works to clear pores, kill acne-causing bacteria, balance sebum, and soothe inflammation. The mask comes pre-mixed, so you simply spoon a little of the creamy black liquid onto your hands and apply to your skin.

*Josh Rosebrook – Advanced Hydration Organic Mask ($65)

One of our favorite organic face masks for dry and sensitive skin types! Using a unique blend of botanical hyaluronic acid (from Indian senna seed) as well as calming ingredients (like turmeric, aloe, blue tansy, chamomile, and many more), this mask does a fantastic job at soothing, plumping, and hydrating. It's a pre-mixed mask which has a harder texture, so make sure your face is pretty damp before applying for even application. You can stretch the life of this luxury mask by using it once per week (that's all you really need).

*Leahlani Skincare – Mermaid Mask ($38)

This superfood organic mask is like a jar of pure Hawaiian magic. This mask is described as a "superfood smoothie for your skin" and we couldn't agree more. Packed with nutrient-dense ingredients like raw honey, spirulina, sea algae, and chlorella, this emerald-green mask has everything your skin would want to eat. The scent is subtle, yet beautiful and comes from a natural blend of plant oils such as chamomile, ylang ylang, rose, and lavender. An all around solid mask for any skin type in need of a gentle weekly treatment.

*Pai Skin Care – Copaiba Deep Cleanse AHA Mask ($60)

If you have sensitive acne-prone skin and need a mask that can exfoliate and clear pores without causing irritating--then this face mask from Pai is your best bet. Made with a natural blend of gentle fruit AHA acids (from pomelo fruit and grapefruit) and copaiba (an Amazonian acne treatment), this mask does a good job at controlling breakouts, balancing oil, and soothing redness. The mask is super creamy and only needs to sit for 8-10 minutes to work its magic. We loved using the soft muslin cloth that came with the mask to gently remove the mask. Can be used up to 2x per week.

*Matcha Obsessed – Matcha & Honey Organic Clay Mask

An affordable organic mask made with some great detoxifying ingredients. This mask is simply made from a blend of clays (like bentonite, Fuller's Earth, and Rhassoul), ceremonial grade matcha green tea, coconut milk powder, honey powder, brown rice protein, and echinacea extract. We found that this mask works particularly well for those with oily/acne-prone skin and those with large pores + blackheads. The texture of this mask is silky smooth and feels like a dream to apply with a mask brush. Only needs to sit for 7-10 minutes--making this a quick weekly masking treatment.

*Vered – Cacao Vanilla Beauty Mask ($68)

Is it weird to describe an organic facial mask as being "sexy"? Let's put it this way, if you are looking for a mask for you and your significant other this Valentine's Day--this is it. This velvety chocolate mask both feels and smells like a decadent fudge dessert. It's rich, creamy, and sensuous. Besides the sensual experience, this chocolate mask actually works wonders on the skin. Star ingredients include tamanu oil, marshmallow root, pink rose flower, calendula, kaolin clay, cinnamon, and vanilla bean. Also, the formula is almost entirely organic.

*Amala – Pre+Probiotic Organic Hydrating Yogurt Mask ($68)

An amazingly effective organic face mask for dry, mature skin types. In fact, we are calling this the most effective mask we've reviewed for dry skin. We fell in love with this mask because of its versatility and jaw-dropping results. This pre-mixed mask can be worn for 15-20 minutes and rinsed or massaged into clean skin and worn as an overnight treatment. Our testers had the most amazing results using this as an overnight mask. They reported having dramatically softer, more hydrated skin in the morning. This gem is made with too many killer ingredients to name-- so, go check it out for yourself!

*Brown & Coconut – Clarifying Organic Kale Mask ($22)

Wow--what a fantastic organic face mask for under $25. This formula is simple and unique. It features tried and true detoxifying ingredients like French Green Clay, as well as unique ingredients like kale powder, neem powder, honeysuckle, lemon verbena, and thyme. Together, these ingredients are antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and oil-balancing. Don't have time for a full 20 minute masking session? Instead, apply this mask as a spot treatment on active breakouts or clogged areas (it works great this way). All in all, a beautiful mask at a beautiful price.

*Mahalo – The Petal Hydrating Organic Mask ($95)

This organic rose petal mask is perfect for acne-prone and inflamed skin. With a healthy dose of raw manuka honey and silver hydrosol (clean colloidal silver) to kill acne-causing bacteria and rose oil, camellia oil, and turmeric extract to reduce inflammation, this mask will transform your skin. Additionally, rose oil has been known to kill acne-causing bacteria in as little as 5 minutes after application (and this mask is packed with rose oil!). On top of that, it’s packed with hydrating ingredients which bind with water to keep your skin looking and feeling hydrated longer.

*Kypris – Deep Forest Clay Organic Mask ($105)

A really potent botanical clay mask designed for oily, acne, blackhead and blemish-prone skin. This mask should really be used more like a monthly treatment than a routine mask. Partly because it's so potent and partly because it's a good way to make this luxurious treat last a while. This super creamy clay mask is made with a powerful blend of herbal acids (pink citrus + hibiscus), botanicals (thyme, vetiver, and chamomile), montmorillonite clay, and sea algae (just to name a few). Provides almost instant results for clogged skin.

*SW Basics – Organic Hibiscus Facial Mask ($19.99)

This delicious organic facial mask by S.W. Basics is made with organic hibiscus flower powder, organic lavender powder, and French green clay—that’s all. It’s a simple little mask that uses alpha-hydroxy acid (naturally occurring in hibiscus) to gently resurface skin and increase cell turnover. Just mix the powder with your favorite liquid (such as green tea, apple cider vinegar, or honey), apply the burgundy red mask to your face, and gently rinse once dry. You can get creative and create your own mask too. Try mixing 1 tsp organic aloe powder (reduces redness) + 1 tsp of organic matcha green tea powder (antioxidant) + 1 tablespoon of brewed chamomile tea (calming) with 1 tsp of this hibiscus mask.

*LILFOX – Cleopatra Organic Milk + Honey Mask

No description could ever fully explain how gorgeous this mask is. If Cleopatra could wear a mask today, we're pretty sure she'd choose this one crafted in her honor. Some of the incredible ingredients in this mask include rose clay, honey powder, coconut milk powder, rhassoul clay, baobob, camu camu, fruit acids, and rose quartz crystal powder. It smells like jasmine, feels silky smooth, and makes your skin as soft as butter. This organic mask needs to be worn for about 20-40 minutes, so be sure to settle into a relaxing activity while this mask works its magic.
