At-a-Glance (30s summary) (who it's for and what it does)
If your skin feels irritated, red, or easily overwhelmed, especially in the Mauritian heat, finding a cleanser that cleans without stripping can be a challenge. The I'M FROM Mugwort Gel Cleanser is a gentle, low-pH formula designed to do just that. It uses a high concentration of calming Mugwort extract to soothe sensitivity and reduce redness while effectively washing away daily impurities, sweat, and sunscreen. Its gel texture lightly foams to leave skin feeling clean, comfortable, and balanced—never tight or dry.
Quick Start (60-second routine) (essentials for beginners)
- 1) Oil Cleanser (PM, if wearing makeup/sunscreen): Start with an oil-based cleanser to melt away impurities.
- 2) [THIS PRODUCT] I'M FROM Mugwort Gel Cleanser: Dispense one pump, lather with water, and gently massage onto your damp face. Rinse thoroughly.
- 3) Moisturiser: Follow with a light moisturiser to lock in hydration.
Mindful Consumption Note: Already have a gentle cleanser you like? Finish it first before opening a new one. Substitute, don’t stack.
AM Routine Guide (morning order) (how to use in the morning)
- [THIS PRODUCT] I'M FROM Mugwort Gel Cleanser: Start your day with a gentle cleanse to remove overnight buildup.
- Hydrating Toner (Optional): Apply a toner to damp skin to add a layer of hydration.
- Serum (Optional): Apply any lightweight serums.
- Moisturiser: Use a light moisturiser suitable for your skin type.
- Sunscreen: Always finish with a broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher. This is the most crucial step to protect your skin in Mauritius.
PM Routine Guide (evening order) (recommended for starting)
- Oil Cleanser (Double Cleanse): If you wore makeup or water-resistant sunscreen, start with an oil cleanser to break it down.
- [THIS PRODUCT] I'M FROM Mugwort Gel Cleanser: Follow with this gel cleanser to wash away any remaining residue and impurities.
- Toner/Essence/Serum: Apply your treatment products, from thinnest to thickest texture.
- Moisturiser: Finish with a night cream or moisturiser to support your skin's barrier overnight.
How to Use (Beginner-friendly) (amount, frequency, and tips)
- Amount: Use one full pump.
- Method: Dispense into wet hands and lather to create a soft foam. Gently massage over your entire damp face in circular motions, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
- Frequency: Use daily, both morning (AM) and evening (PM).
- Double Cleansing: This is a perfect second-step cleanser for your evening routine after using an oil-based cleanser to remove makeup and sunscreen.
Weekly Planner (Example & Alternating Actives) (how to schedule use)
- Daily Use: This is a gentle cleanser suitable for use every morning and every evening.
- Compatibility: As a wash-off product, it can be safely used in a routine that contains actives like retinoids, vitamin C, or exfoliating acids (AHA/BHA), as it prepares the skin for these treatment steps.
What to Expect (Results Timeline) (immediate → 8+ weeks)
- Immediately: Skin feels clean, refreshed, and calm without any tightness or dryness.
- 2-4 Weeks: You may notice a visible reduction in general redness and irritation with consistent daily use.
- 4-8+ Weeks: Skin's barrier feels more resilient and balanced, with potentially fewer sensitivity flare-ups.
Myth Replacement (Why this, not that) (safer, effective alternatives)
Instead of harsh, high-pH soaps that make your skin feel "squeaky clean," use a gentle, low-pH cleanser like this one. That "squeaky" feeling is actually your skin's protective moisture barrier being stripped away, which can lead to more irritation, dehydration, and even increased oil production as your skin tries to compensate. A balanced cleanser respects your skin's natural state.
Compatibility Guide (layering) (what to pair it with)
As a wash-off cleanser, the I'M FROM Mugwort Gel Cleanser is compatible with virtually all other skincare ingredients. It effectively prepares the skin for the rest of your routine.
- Works Well With: Hydrating toners, essences, serums (including Vitamin C, Niacinamide, Retinoids, Hyaluronic Acid), moisturisers, and sunscreens.
- Use Carefully: No major conflicts. If you have extremely dry skin, you may find it slightly less nourishing than a cream cleanser, so be sure to follow up with hydrating products.
- Avoid On: Not intended for use as a primary makeup remover for heavy or waterproof makeup. Use an oil cleanser first.
Skin Type Compatibility (best fits and cautions)
- Oily & Combination Skin: Excellent. Cleanses effectively without stripping, helping to balance the skin.
- Sensitive & Acne-Prone Skin: Highly recommended. Mugwort is known for its ability to calm inflammation, soothe redness, and its antibacterial properties can help manage breakouts.
- Normal Skin: A great daily cleanser for maintaining skin balance.
- Dry Skin: Suitable, but ensure you follow up with a robust hydrating and moisturising routine, as some users with very dry skin might prefer a cream-based cleanser.

Complete Ingredient Transparency (key actives + full INCI)
Key Ingredients Explained:
- Artemisia Princeps (Mugwort) Extract (60%): Sourced from Ganghwa, Korea, this extract is the star ingredient. Rich in antioxidants and vitamins, it is renowned for its powerful anti-inflammatory and soothing properties, helping to calm redness, heal irritation, and protect the skin barrier.
- Glycerin: A reliable humectant that draws moisture from the air into your skin, providing hydration and preventing the tight, dry feeling after cleansing.
- Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate: A gentle, coconut-derived surfactant that creates a soft foam and cleanses the skin effectively without stripping its natural oils, leaving it feeling soft.
Full INCI List:
Artemisia Princeps Extract, Water, Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate, Lauryl Hydroxysultaine, Glycerin, 1,2-Hexanediol, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Caprylyl Glycol, Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate, Sodium Chloride, Tromethamine, Hexadecene, Tetradecene, Sodium Sulfate, Artemisia Vulgaris Oil, Melia Azadirachta Leaf Extract, Melia Azadirachta Flower Extract, Ocimum Sanctum Leaf Extract, Curcuma Longa (Turmeric) Root Extract, Corallina Officinalis Extract.
Allergens & Fragrance Disclosure (scent profile and potential irritants)
- Fragrance Status: No artificial fragrances added. The cleanser has a distinct natural, herbal scent derived from Mugwort (Artemisia Vulgaris Oil).
- Scent Intensity: 2/5 (A mild, earthy, and herbaceous scent that dissipates upon rinsing).
- EU Allergens: Based on the disclosed ingredient list, none of the 26 standard EU allergens are declared. However, botanical extracts can sometimes contain trace components not listed; a patch test is always advised.
Full Safety & Patch Test Protocol (important precautions)
This product is clinically tested to be non-irritating and is formulated for sensitive skin. However, to ensure it's right for you, we recommend a patch test.
- Patch Test: Apply a pea-sized amount to a small, discreet area, like behind your ear or on your jawline. Wait for 24-48 hours. If you experience any redness, itching, or irritation, discontinue use.
- Safety: For external use only. Avoid direct contact with eyes. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water. Keep out of reach of children. Do not apply to broken or inflamed skin.
- Teens: This gentle cleanser is suitable for teenagers, especially those with oily, acne-prone, or sensitive skin. It fits perfectly into a simple routine of cleanser, moisturiser, and sunscreen.
Sensory & Chemical Profile (texture, feel, and formulation)
- Texture: A lightweight, viscous green-tinted gel.
- Finish: Lathers into a soft, light foam. Rinses clean without leaving any residue, leaving skin feeling soft and balanced, not stripped.
- pH: This is a low-pH cleanser, formulated to be close to the skin's natural pH (around 5.5). This helps to protect the skin's acid mantle and moisture barrier.
- Fungal Acne (Malassezia Folliculitis) Compatibility: This product contains Artemisia Vulgaris Oil, which may not be suitable for those with fungal acne. Individual responses vary, so a patch test is recommended.
Troubleshooting Guide (fix common issues) (quick solutions)
- If your skin feels a little tight after use: This is uncommon, but if it happens, it may mean your skin is particularly dry or dehydrated. Ensure you are applying a hydrating toner and moisturiser to damp skin immediately after cleansing to lock in moisture.
- If it doesn't remove all your makeup: This cleanser is designed for a gentle, second cleanse. For heavy or waterproof makeup and sunscreen, it's essential to use an oil-based cleanser first to dissolve it completely before using this gel cleanser.
- If it doesn't foam a lot: This is normal. The formula is designed to create a soft, gentle lather, not a thick, dense foam. The cleansing power comes from the surfactants, not the amount of bubbles.
Climate Fit for Mauritius (local usage advice)
The I'M FROM Mugwort Gel Cleanser is exceptionally well-suited for the hot and humid climate of Mauritius.
- Humid Summers: Its lightweight gel formula effectively removes sweat, excess sebum, and sunscreen without adding any heaviness. The soothing mugwort helps calm heat-induced redness and irritation.
- Drier Winters/AC Exposure: While still effective, its non-stripping nature ensures it won't exacerbate dryness caused by indoor air-conditioning or the less humid winter months. Just be sure to follow with a good moisturiser.
