Los Angeles luxury favorite Ashu’s has teamed up with science-based skincare brand Symbiome on a limited-edition matcha mask that brings the healing power of green tea to the face.
Founded in Malibu in 2024, Ashu prioritizes high-quality, carefully sourced, small-scale Japanese matcha. Founded in San Francisco in 2017, Symbiome is known for its simple, science-first formulas and its celebrity following, namely Kate Hudson, who started as a loyal customer before officially joining the team in 2023 as a creative consultant. “Almost immediately after I started using Symbiome skincare products, I could see and feel the difference,” Hudson said on her transformation from consumer to partner.
Symbiome Kit
Hudson’s curated collection includes Symbiome’s Daily Oil Cleanser, Repairing Serum, and Restorative Cream.
Now, these two brands, each with their own cult following, have created a treatment that turns your daily wellness ritual into a skin health moment.
Symbiome x Ashu’s The Ceremony Matcha Mask
Polishing and restoring antioxidant treatment.
Available for pre-order now at Symbiome.com to be released in limited quantities, Ceremony Matcha Mask blends matcha first sourced for its high antioxidant content with Symbiome’s signature fermented botanicals. This results in a soothing gel mask designed to help neutralize oxidative stress, visibly soothe redness and support the skin barrier, among a host of other benefits, detailed below. The formula bridges ancient tea ceremony traditions with modern skin microbiome science.
To use, apply an even layer of The Ceremony Matcha Mask to clean, dry skin. Leave it for 15 to 20 minutes before rinsing it off with lukewarm water. The brand recommends using it two to three times a week. Additional ingredients and benefits include omega-rich Sage and Becky oils to strengthen the skin’s lipid barrier to improve elasticity, and glycerin to bind moisture to the skin without heaviness or congestion. With regular use, the product helps improve texture and promote more even color.
This festively inspired skincare treatment informed by the science of the microbiome retails for $65 and is available exclusively at Symbiome.com.
