Why this scored 25/100

Autofail on out_of_scope_for_biohacking: this is a topical volcanic-clay face and body mask cosmetic, explicitly labeled for external application, not an ingestible or systemically-acting biohacking supplement. Clay masks have a legitimate cosmetic role (sebum absorption, mild exfoliation) but no evidence base for 'mineral repletion through the skin' or systemic detoxification through mask use — trans-epidermal mineral absorption is negligible for the elements typically cited. Belongs in a skincare catalog, not the Vyvata supplement index.

Auto-fail rule triggered: Out of scope for biohacking.

The product is not appropriate for the biohacking / human-wellness catalog scope. Examples: veterinary products, industrial chemicals, prescription drugs not intended for self-supplementation. See the full rubric →

Evidence & sources

The Vyvata score's Evidence dimension measures the quality of published RCT support for a product's active ingredients at the label dose. Our source hierarchy: double-blind RCTs in MEDLINE-indexed journals > single-blind RCTs > open-label trials > observational studies > mechanism papers > N=1 case studies (anecdotes). Predatory journals and manufacturer-authored studies without independent replication are weighted down.

Product-specific evidence citations for this item are embedded in the analysis text on the "Analysis" tab. For the full framework and evidence hierarchy, see the methodology page.

How to read the Evidence dimension

  • 80–100: Multiple double-blind RCTs in indexed journals directly testing this product OR the exact ingredients at the exact dose.
  • 60–79: Single double-blind RCT + supporting ingredient literature at the studied dose.
  • 40–59: Open-label trials + ingredient literature; no product-specific double-blind evidence.
  • 20–39: Ingredient literature only; no product-specific trials or trials in predatory venues.
  • 0–19: No credible evidence base or unverifiable claims.

Why did Yaga Mud | Volcanic Mineral Clay Mask for Face and Body | 4 oz score in the Rejected tier?

Autofail on out_of_scope_for_biohacking: this is a topical volcanic-clay face and body mask cosmetic, explicitly labeled for external application, not an ingestible or systemically-acting biohacking supplement.

Strongest: Safety at 55/100 (adverse-event profile, interaction risk, and dose ceiling) and Sustainability at 55/100 (sourcing practices, packaging, and corporate practice).
