THE MISSION:

We are committed to improving skin health, increasing earth friendly awareness, and promoting self-love for ALL. The Dirtea™ brand is a leading proprietary combination of organic tea powders, healing essential oils, and fine minerals. Get Dirtea™ with a one-of-a-kind topical tea treatment for your skin. With the help of your contributions we can bring this revolutionary concept to the world and help others realize their true inner beauty with the power of this wonderful plant.  

WHY WE'RE RAISING MONEY:

We have exhausted nearly all of our inventory trying to keep up with demand and now we are currently out of stock on our website. The money raised from this campaign will go towards fulfilling orders/perks, ordering new sustainable packaging, and improving production equipment. You will receive our NEW products fast - by April 2016! This is also in preparation for upcoming deals with 3 large retailers who have expressed interest in our products (Wholefoods, Boots, Walgreens) however, we cannot fulfill their large quantity requests for the first round of production. Our main purpose and driving motivation behind this brand is not only skin health but earth health. Many large beauty corporations still test on animals, pollute oceans with micro-beads, and contain harmful chemical ingredients. By ordering our products you support a better future for the health/beauty industry.

MY STORY:

Hi my name is Griffin Black, I am the founder & CEO of Dirtea. I attended Hunter College in Manhattan with a keen interest in nursing/healthcare but soon realized that my passion was in starting my own business. I happened to fall in the love with a girl I met in school and we eventually moved into our own apartment in Brooklyn. She introduced me to the world of tea and then I fell in love again, this time with tea. My passion turned into an obsession and I began connecting with tea vendors around the world. I began selling loose leaf tea on eBay but eventually came up with this new concept. I tested many formulations and researched the benefits of topical tea for your skin for more than 6 months and continue to test and perfect our formulations as we plan to get clinical trials done within this year. It is my dream to cultivate my own tea farm here in America one day and I am truly grateful for the two years of support my friends/family/followers have provided me with for this endeavor.

Recent Reviews/Results: 

Before & After Results: 

"INSANE. Was so sooo skeptical to try a new scrub due to the fact Frank® coffee body scrub irritated my skin like crazy, but incredibly glad I did. Results after just over a week of using Dirtea for 28 days. The picture on the left is before my first scrub and the picture on the right is after my scrub today, foundation and concealer free and just wearing bronzer. I'd never thought I'd be confident enough to go foundation free, but this scrub has almost completely cleared my skin and acne scars and completely brightened my complexion. IF YOU'RE STRUGGLING WITH ACNE PLEASE TRY THIS."

More Customer Reviews:  

"Hi!! Just wanted to let you know I've been struggling with acne for over 10 years. I have tried everything from creams to antibiotics to numerous different washes to get my breakouts under control. After hearing about you through IG, I decided to give Dirtea a try and I am so glad I did!! In less than a week I can see huge improvements. My skin is so clear and smooth!! Thanks so much!" - Victoria - UK 

"I loved getting Dirtea! The smell of chai tea was heavenly and very relaxing, the texture felt gentle but still exfoliated very well, and my skin came out silky smooth!" - Bretanna - NJ

"I really like that all these products are organic and chemical free because I hate that feeling of blasting my face with chemicals in order to clear it up and make my skin healthier." - Elle - LA

"I LOVE to GET DIRTEA. I love that my order was shipped the same day. I love that they were able to answer my questions in less than an hour. I love that the pricing was ridiculously affordable. I love that my order came in 2 days! I love DIRTEA!" - Olivia - UK

"I love businesses with amazing customer service. They answered all my questions and I received my order so quickly. The actual products were so unique and lovely. I could get used to this. Love you guys!" - Marie K. - OR

"My acne disappeared the next morning! Compared to Frank Coffee Scrub®, Dirtea scrub smells sooo much better and is not as rough on my skin. And unlike Frank, this was really easy to apply. I found Frank really rough. Getting Dirtea doesn't feel like you're rubbing off your skin. Also, I had acne the size of the Himalayas and after using Dirtea it went red for an hour and then just disappeared when I woke up in the morning which is pretty darn amazing!" - Maz - AUS

"Hey! Thank you so much for making this product. My psoriasis feels much better and it really does reduce inflammation and redness. Can't say that it got rid of my psoriasis forever but I prefer this natural treatment over any chemical cream anyday. I will be ordering more :)" - Melinda - AUS

"Right before going to sleep once a week I use Dirtea face/body scrub, it's amazing! I tend to get minor break outs at the first sign of stress so this helps prevent it by nourishing my skin :) Night night IG." - Cynthia Chavez - LA

"Sunday is always a "wellness" day for me, I always do some cosmetics procedures to keep my skin and hair beautiful and healthy and today I got an opportunity to try the chai + coconut face and body scrub from @getdirtea ️after applying this scrub, my face is really baby soft." - Romy - Austria

FAQ:

How do I get Dirtea? 

Dirtea should be used to exfoliate 2-3 times per week. When starting on your course try to leave the scrub on your skin for at least 5 minutes. Ideally the longer you leave the scrub on the better it works. 

Why is green tea good for my skin?

Numerous credible independent studies show topical green tea formulations protect skin from cancer and reduce sun damage.There is well documented evidence that green tea has powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that help clear acne, inflammation, scarring and signs of aging. Green tea polyphenols are oxidized and lose their activity when exposed to air & light, so we pack our containers fresh and seal our scrub at source to help retain activity. 

Why is white tea good for my skin?

Dr. Camouse and colleagues from University Hospitals, Cleveland, Ohio, compared UV-protection effects of topical green and white tea and found them to be roughly equivalent (Experimental Dermatology, June 2009). However, there is promising data that white tea may even be the most superior rejuvenation agent - compared with 21 other plant extracts it showed the highest level of activity as an antioxidant.

Why is sweet almond oil good for my skin?

Sweet almond oil is one of the best known natural oil remedies for stretch marks. It's also packed with essential vitamins and minerals such as calcium, potassium, magnesium, vitamins E and D which are great for dry skin and dark spots too! 

Why is coconut oil good for my skin?

Coconut oil is popular for a reason. Haven't you heard? Besides being one of the best ingredients to hydrate your skin on the market it has antibacterial and antifungal properties so you don't turn into a mushroom. Seriously though, it's amazing.

Why is black tea good for my skin?

CAFFEINE! BLACK TEA IS FULL OF CAFFEINE! CAFFEINE ENERGIZES NOT JUST YOU BUT YOUR SKIN. THE BENEFITS OF BLACK TEA FOR YOUR SKIN ARE POWERFUL (THINK BETTER BLOOD CIRCULATION & LESS WRINKLY). BUT I THINK I'VE HAD A LITTLE TOO MUCH. 

Why is pink himalyan sea salt good for my skin?

If you can't take a trip to the Dead Sea then this is the next best thing. It's an ideal natural treatment for psoriasis and eczema because, for many, it has the best results compared to other therapies. It's been proven to lengthen the remission duration after weekly use. 

Is Dirtea tested on animals?

No, we have never tested on animals and we never will. However, we do test and get Dirtea ourselves on a weekly basis because it's awesome. Sometimes I feel like an animal though.

Is Dirtea vegan?

Yes, there are no animal bi-products in our scrub. 

How long before I see results?

Immediately. No we're not kidding, your skin will feel incredibly smooth right after using this scrub and a lovely scent will linger. Apply 2-3 times a week and you will see results or your money back. 

Is getting Dirtea good for sensitive skin?

Yes, try patch testing first before you rub it all over just to make sure you don't irritate your sensitive side. The majority will have no problem with this scrub but be extra gentle on your face. 

Is getting Dirtea good for oily skin?

Yes again, oil absorbs oil. Woah that's pretty darn cool. Use a body wash to rinse off any excess oil and you'll be good to go!

Is getting Dirtea good for combination skin?

Yes already! Getting Dirtea will take care of your whole body, no matter what skin type you are. There's no discrimination here. We still recommend patch testing your first application. And remember kids, don't eat anything Dirtea and don't get anything Dirtea in your eyes.

How Dirtea should I get?

As Dirtea as you want! Each container holds 7fl oz of body scrub good for an entire months worth use. 

How often should I get Dirtea?

We recommend 2-3 scrubs a week. Getting Dirtea is better in moderation.

Should I get Dirtea wet or dry?

We like damp skin - a happy medium. However if you would like a more intense treatment, Dirtea works well on dry skin too.

How long do I stay Dirtea before rinsing?

The key is to leave the scrub on for 5-10 minutes each time, this way the caffeine and antioxidants can be better absorbed into your skin.

Why is Dirtea dry?

Dirtea isn't like the other scrubs you might be used to. It's a dry scrub. If you prefer a wet scrub just add water.

Will getting Dirtea clog my drain?

Nope, the scrub is fine enough to wash down the drain. It's going to get a little messy though. It's good to get things Dirtea sometimes.

Which scrub is better?

We recommend getting the bundle if you can't decide! ;)  

What payment methods are accepted?

Visa. Mastercard. PayPal. American Express. Discover. 

How long does shipping take?

We ship USPS first class mail. Usually 3-4 days. And tracking information is provided. Worlwide shipping takes a little longer depending on customs but usually within a week. 

Will getting Dirtea stain my skin?

No. Your skin may look a little green or brown while you use it but the color will wash off right away. That fresh mint, coconut, or lemon scent (whichever scrub you choose) will linger.

What if I get Dirtea in my eyes?

Wash it out babe. Keep this scrub out of your eyes. If this occurs rinse thoroughly. If irritation occurs, discontinue use and seek medical assistance. Unlikely so hey, stay positive. 

Can I get Dirtea on my face?

If you have sensitive skin, be gentle. Dirtea can be a coarse exfoliator for some and the skin on your face is delicate. If you want to use it on your face, test first, and use a soap free cleanser to wash off any excess oil.

I'm pregnant, can I still get Dirtea?

Hey beautiful mamma to be. As much as we want to get Dirtea with you, we recommend you consult your doctor before you start using our scrub. Dirtea does have a high caffeine content as well as peppermint oil, so some ladies choose to wait and use Dirtea after they have their babe. However, if you are still drinking tea/coffee it shouldn't be an issue.

How long will getting Dirtea last?

Dirtea scrubs have a shelf life of nine months.
