FAQs
How does it work for different ages? As a mother and daughter-founded brand, we always make sure our products work for ages 0 to 100 – and The Essential Cleanser is no exception ☺ For more mature skin, it never accentuates lines, but helps plump and smooth with pro-collagen naturals and gentle exfoliants. For younger skin, it helps balance oil, calm acne, and remove build-up. It's universally effective!
When do I use it – morning or night? You can use it AM and PM, but go with your gut! You know your skin and its rhythms, so use it whenever you need a reset or to create a happy baseline.
Is it safe for reactive skin? Most definitely! It's free of all common irritants and allergens, and is compltely fragrance-free. It also contains ultra-soothing glycerin, propanediol, and 3 different ceramides that ensure your skin barrier is not only never disrupted, but is actively supplemented.
