Klur Skincare Founder Lesley Thornton on Her At-Home Wellness Routine, and Giving Back to the Black Community – Vogue

Launched in 2019, Klur originally consisted of seven products, all of which are made up of natural ingredients, thoughtfully sourced. Thornton is conscious about biodiversity, prioritizing ingredients that are readily accessible including Aloe Vera, dandelion, and sea kelp. I formulate with long-term sustainability in mind and like to work with many local farmers, she says. Her suppliers are based in the United States, mainly in California. Rare and exotic ingredients don't necessarily make better products, she notes. If it's not accessible and it doesn't give back, we're not using it in our products.

Thornton's personal favorites from her line are the moisturizing cleanser Gentle Matter, which she uses daily, along with the skin supplement Symmetry Fluid in the summer, and Stellar Restoration (a multivitamin-infused retinol), which is her go-to in colder months. But lately, shes added a new element to her routine.

For the first time since the brand's last launch, a year and a half ago, Thornton has an addition to the Klur family: the Supreme Seed, a purification mask thats ideal for sensitive skin. A lot of clay masks have high pHs. Once you mix them with water, the pH goes up, so people find themselves more irritated and dry after. By contrast, Supreme Seed is not going to tug at the skin. It never dries down hard, or flakes. You can layer an oil underneath it and leave on the mask for 15 minutes. During that time, the mask will press the nutrients from the oil into your skin, thanks to the MSM (a pure, collagen enhancing organic sulfur) inside of the mask. The added bonus? When you remove the mask, it goes off as a cleanser which you can massage into the skin and then rinse off.
