For the past few years I have used a oil-based face paint that works well, but it has a stink to it and is a royal pain to take off. During my search for an alternative face paint last year, I came across Carbomask and decided to contact the owner of the company. He not only got back to me, but he also shared some video footage with me and sent me a couple of tubes of his product to test out.
This product is water-based mineral salt formula, no additives, preservatives. Use after showering for powerful, effective protection, Especially against scalp odor, pits, stinky groin and butt, and foot odor. Don’t be a duesh! Wash your groin and butt, and use it. Fights Masculine Musky Odors. This is not a bio-active material, and contains no biocide, germicide, bacteriocide, or other anti-microbial chemistry or even enzyme chemistry. Simply places a barrier between you and the odor causing environmental interactions we face every day.
- Carbomask is professional grade face paint.
- Carbomask Contains no grease, oils, esters, petrolatum, or paraffins, these smell and are ingredients used in lipsticks, and other pretty make-ups. (crayons, and military grease paint, cold creams, sticks, or compacts)
- Carbomask does not clog pores, like lipstick would (or mayonaise).
- Carbomask does not smell. (like lipstick, makeup or crayons do). (emphasis: there is no odor)
- Carbomask is not a “film-former” on the skin, and therefore will not suffocate your pores.
- There are no anti-irritants in Carbomask, because it is not irritating. Carbomask is mild.
- There is no soap or surfactants built in to help it wash off because it does not need any, and therefore it is not irritating, and therefore does not require an anti-irritant.
- Carbomask is not permanent. It will not “stain” your skin like lipsticks, make-ups, grease paints do.
- Carbomask stays on and comes off, conveniently.
- There is no “scrubbing”. Carbomask “rinses”.
- Carbomask is like a mud-mask, but does not dry your skin out. Carbomask will clean your pores when removed, and leave your skin fresh and invigorated.
- We use pharmaceutical grade activated charcoal which adsorbs skin oils and odors onto its microstructure. (Hence the name “CARBO”mask.)
- Carbomask is not “Water Proof”. Do not stand in a downpour rainstorm and look up, or go swimming (our clients typically do not do these things).
- Carbomask will not “run” nor change the color of your perspiration. Your sweat will remain clear and un-inhibited.
- Carbomask can be used on the palms and hands, and you wont even know it is there. We demo our product by putting our hands in our pockets, without coming off on your slacks.
- Carbomask is preferred by U.S. snipers over grease paints.
- Carbomask can be used to “dull” any shiny object: your bow, stool, canteen, helmet, ring, etc.
- Carbomask comes in a waterbased gel, and feels like water (pudding) when pinched between the fingers, the gel is smooth and works into a thin coverage with gentle smearing.
I would give the Carbomask a 4 out of 5 stars for Southern California hunting. I’d give it a 5 out of 5 for Western NY hunting. The only reason I didn’t give it a 5 out of 5 for SoCal is because I hate having to reapply face paint when I am hunting. In NY, the Carbomask lasted all day long. I think this is a great product. It’s inexpensive when you consider how long a tube will last, too. For anyone looking to get rid of that cloth face mask, or the oily face paint, give the Carbomask a try and tell BobRay that The SoCal Bowhunter sent you.
Sounds like a winner .
