Struggling with cleansers that leave your skin feeling tight, stripped, and uncomfortable, especially in the Mauritian humidity? This pH-balanced foam is designed to be different. It uses gentle, amino acid-based surfactants and calming Mung Bean extract to thoroughly cleanse away daily grime, excess sebum, and sunscreen without disrupting your skin's delicate moisture barrier. The result is skin that feels clean, soft, and comfortable, not squeaky and dry.

1. Cleanser (THIS PRODUCT): In the PM, start with an oil cleanser if wearing heavy makeup, then use a pea-sized amount of this foam.
2. Moisturiser: Follow with a light moisturiser to lock in hydration.
3. Sunscreen (AM): Always finish your morning routine with SPF 30+ to protect your skin.

Note: Already own a similar cleanser? Finish that first to avoid waste (substitute, don’t stack).

Minimalist (2-3 steps):

1. Cleanser (THIS PRODUCT): Wash away overnight buildup.
2. Moisturiser (Optional): If your sunscreen isn't hydrating enough.
3. Sunscreen: Apply SPF 30+ as your final step.

Minimalist (2-3 steps):

1. Oil Cleanser (Optional): Essential first step to melt waterproof sunscreen or makeup.
2. Water-Based Cleanser (THIS PRODUCT): To deep clean the skin and pores.
3. Moisturiser: To hydrate and seal your skin barrier overnight.

Daily Use — AM/PM:

• Amount: A pea-sized or dime-sized amount is sufficient. A little goes a long way.
• Apply to: Damp face and neck.
• Method: Squeeze the product into your palm, add water, and lather into a rich foam. Gently massage onto your face in circular motions, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
• Frequency: Use once or twice daily.

If-This / Then-That:

• If wearing heavy makeup or waterproof sunscreen: Use an oil-based cleanser first to dissolve it, then follow with this foam cleanser for a thorough double cleanse.
• If skin feels tight after use: You may be using too much product, or this cleanser might be too purifying for very dry skin types. Try using a smaller amount or switching to a cream-based cleanser.
• If you have clogged pores: The fine Mung Bean and Green Tea powders provide very gentle physical exfoliation to help clear pores as you cleanse.

Safety: Avoid direct contact with eyes. If irritation occurs, discontinue use. For teens, this is an excellent starter cleanser as part of a simple cleanse-moisturise-SPF routine.

• Daily: This cleanser is gentle enough for use every morning and evening.
• As part of an active routine: Use this cleanser to create a clean, balanced canvas before applying stronger actives like retinoids or exfoliating acids (AHA/BHA) in your PM routine. On nights you use strong actives, a gentle pH-balanced cleanser like this is crucial to avoid irritation.

• Immediate: Skin feels thoroughly cleansed, soft, and refreshed without feeling tight or stripped.
• 2–4 weeks: With consistent use, skin may feel more balanced. Those with sensitive or acne-prone skin might notice less irritation and a clearer complexion.
• 4–8+ weeks: Continued use helps maintain a healthy skin barrier, leading to more resilient, calm, and balanced skin.

Why this, not that harsh soap or scrub? Many believe that a "squeaky clean" feeling means skin is truly clean. In reality, that tightness is often a sign that your skin's protective barrier has been stripped by harsh detergents (like sulfates in bar soap) or aggressive physical scrubs. This can lead to irritation, dehydration, and even more oil production. This pH-balanced foam uses gentle, amino acid-based cleansers to effectively remove impurities while respecting your skin's natural moisture, leaving it feeling comfortable and balanced. (Evidence: Ingredient rationale)

Key Actives Explained:

• Mung Bean (Vigna Radiata) Seed Extract & Powder (33%): A traditional Korean skincare ingredient rich in vitamins, minerals, and saponins. It provides excellent cleansing properties, helping to purify pores and remove impurities while soothing the skin. The fine powder offers a very mild, non-abrasive exfoliation. (Ingredient rationale)
• Amino Acid-Based Surfactants (Sodium Cocoyl Glycinate, Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate): These are gentle cleansing agents derived from amino acids. They create a rich, creamy foam that effectively cleanses the skin without stripping its natural oils or disrupting the acid mantle, making them ideal for sensitive skin. (Ingredient rationale)
• Green Tea (Camellia Sinensis Leaf) Powder: Packed with antioxidants, Green Tea helps to soothe the skin and protect it from environmental stressors. The fine powder also contributes to the gentle exfoliation and deep-cleansing feel. (Ingredient rationale)
• Centella Asiatica Extract: Known for its powerful soothing and skin-repairing properties, Centella helps to calm irritation and strengthen the skin barrier. (Ingredient rationale)

Full INCI List: Glycerin, Vigna Radiata Seed Extract, Sodium Cocoyl Glycinate, Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate, Water, 1,2-Hexanediol, Hydroxypropyl Starch Phosphate, Centella Asiatica Extract, Ficus Carica (Fig) Fruit Extract, Phellodendron Amurense Bark Extract, Glycyrrhiza Uralensis (Licorice) Root Extract, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Anthemis Nobilis Flower Extract, Melia Azadirachta Leaf Extract, Melia Azadirachta Flower Extract, Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Seed Extract, Coccinia Indica Fruit Extract, Solanum Melongena (Eggplant) Fruit Extract, Aloe Barbadensis Flower Extract, Ocimum Sanctum Leaf Extract, Curcuma Longa (Turmeric) Root Extract, Corallina Officinalis Extract, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Sodium Hyaluronate, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Powder, Lauryl Betaine, Betaine, Polyquaternium-39, Dextrin, Ceramide NP, Tocopherol, Hydroxyacetophenone, Ethylhexylglycerin.

Note: The formulation contains a trace amount of Alcohol as a solvent in one of the extracts but is not a primary ingredient and is generally considered non-irritating at such levels.

• Fragrance Status: Fragrance-Free. Does not contain any added artificial fragrances.
• Scent Profile: Has a very mild, natural, earthy scent from the mung bean and green tea ingredients, which most users find pleasant and unobtrusive. Intensity: 1/5.
• EU Allergens: None declared by the brand based on the provided INCI list.

• Who should use with caution: While suitable for most, individuals with extremely dry skin should monitor for any tightness after use.
• Patch Test Protocol: Before first use, apply a pea-sized amount to a small, discreet area, like behind the ear or on the jawline. Wait 24-48 hours. If you experience any redness, itching, or burning rash, do not use the product.
• If irritation occurs: Stop use immediately. Cleanse the area with cool water. If irritation persists, consult a trusted professional.

• "My skin feels a bit dry after using it." → You might be using too much product. A pea-sized amount is all you need. If it still feels drying, this cleanser may be too purifying for your skin type, and a milk or cream cleanser could be a better fit.
• "It doesn't remove all my waterproof mascara." → This is a water-based cleanser. For heavy or waterproof makeup and sunscreen, it's essential to use an oil-based cleanser first (the double cleanse method) to dissolve everything before using this foam cleanser to deep clean your skin.

This cleanser is exceptionally well-suited for the hot and humid Mauritian climate.

Its gentle, pH-balanced formula helps prevent the irritation and dehydration that can occur from over-washing in sticky weather, leaving skin feeling fresh, clean, and comfortable year-round.

Is this cleanser suitable for removing makeup?

It can remove light, everyday makeup. However, for waterproof or heavy makeup and sunscreen, we strongly recommend using an oil-based cleanser first as part of a double-cleanse routine for the most effective removal.

What does pH-balanced mean and why is it important?

A pH-balanced cleanser has a pH level (around 5.5) that is close to your skin's natural acidity. This is important because harsh, alkaline cleansers (like many bar soaps) can strip your skin's protective barrier, leading to dryness, irritation, and breakouts.

Will the powder in the cleanser scratch my skin?

No, the Mung Bean and Green Tea powders are extremely fine and provide a very gentle, non-abrasive exfoliation as you cleanse. They are not harsh like traditional scrubs.

Best For: Those with normal, combination, oily, or sensitive skin looking for a reliable, gentle daily cleanser that purifies without causing tightness.
