Daily Use — AM/PM:
- Amount: 1-2 pumps.
- Apply to: Face and/or body. It is gentle enough for both.
- Method: Dispense into wet hands and lather into a soft foam. Gently massage onto damp skin, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Pat skin dry; do not rub.
- Frequency: Use once or twice daily.
If-This / Then-That:
- Very dry/itchy skin? This is your primary cleanser. Follow immediately with a rich ceramide moisturizer while skin is still slightly damp.
- Wearing heavy sunscreen? Use this as the second step in a double cleanse, after an oil cleanser, to ensure everything is removed without irritation.
- Skin feels tight after other cleansers? Switch to this cream wash to protect your skin's natural oils and moisture barrier.
Weekly Planner (Example & Alternating Actives) (how to schedule use)
- Daily: Use this cleanser every morning (AM) and evening (PM). Its gentle formula is designed for consistent daily use to maintain a healthy skin barrier.
- With Actives: If you use exfoliating acids or retinoids on certain nights, this wash is an ideal gentle cleanser to use beforehand, as it won't over-strip your skin, helping to reduce potential irritation from your active treatments.
What to Expect (Results Timeline) (immediate → 8+ weeks)
- Immediate: Skin feels clean, soft, and comfortable after washing, without the tight, stripped feeling common with harsher cleansers.
- 1-2 Weeks: A noticeable reduction in dryness-related itchiness and irritation. Skin feels less reactive and more balanced.
- 4-8+ Weeks: With consistent use, the skin's moisture barrier becomes stronger. You may notice less frequent flare-ups of sensitivity, improved overall hydration, and healthier-looking skin.
Myth Replacement (Why this, not that) (safer, effective alternatives)
Why this gentle cream wash, not a harsh, squeaky-clean soap?
Many believe that a "squeaky-clean" or tight feeling means skin is truly clean. This is a myth. That sensation is actually a sign that your skin's protective moisture barrier has been stripped of its natural oils. This damage can lead to increased dryness, irritation, and even more oil production as your skin tries to compensate. An effective cleanser removes impurities while leaving your skin's barrier intact, feeling soft and balanced—not tight.
Compatibility Guide (layering) (what to pair it with)
- Works With: Virtually all other skincare products. As a gentle wash-off product, it prepares the skin for any routine that follows, including hydrating toners, serums with active ingredients (like Vitamin C, Niacinamide, Retinoids), and moisturizers.
- Use Carefully: No major conflicts. It is an excellent choice to use before strong actives, as it helps mitigate potential irritation by ensuring the skin barrier isn't compromised from the start.
- Avoid On: Do not use on open wounds or weeping skin. For external use only.
Skin Type Compatibility (best fits and cautions)
- Dry Skin: Excellent. Specifically formulated to cleanse without stripping, helping to alleviate tightness and flaking.
- Sensitive Skin: Excellent. The gentle, low-irritant formula is designed to soothe and protect reactive skin.
- Combination Skin: Very Good. Effectively cleanses the whole face without over-drying cheeks or failing to clean the T-zone.
- Normal Skin: Very Good. A great daily cleanser for maintaining a healthy skin balance.
- Oily Skin: Good. While it cleanses well, those who prefer a more "fresh" or deeply purifying feel might find it very mild. It's an excellent gentle morning cleanse or second cleanse for oily types.
Targeted Concerns (what it helps to solve)
- Dryness and Dehydration
- Itchiness caused by dryness
- Compromised or weakened skin barrier
- Skin sensitivity and reactivity
- General cleansing for the whole family

Complete Ingredient Transparency (key actives + full INCI)
Key Actives Explained:
- Cerapanthe-some™: A unique liposomal delivery system that combines Ceramide NP and Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5). This technology helps these key barrier-repairing ingredients absorb deeply into the skin to strengthen the moisture barrier, soothe irritation, and relieve dryness from within.
- MLE® (Multi-Lamellar Emulsion): NeoPharm's patented technology, featuring Myristoyl/Palmitoyl Oxostearamide/Arachamide MEA. This ingredient complex perfectly mimics the structure of healthy skin's natural lipids. It "tricks" a damaged barrier into repairing itself, helping to lock in moisture and protect against external irritants.
- Gentle Amino-Acid Surfactants: Uses mild cleansing agents like Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate and Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate derived from coconut to wash away impurities without stripping the skin's protective acid mantle.
- Nourishing Botanicals: Contains Shea Butter, Grape Seed Oil, and Olive Fruit Oil to provide emollient properties, leaving skin feeling soft and moisturized after washing.
Full INCI List:
Water, Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, Glycerin, Disodium Cocoamphodiacetate, Sodium Chloride, Hydroxypropyl Starch Phosphate, Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate, Citric Acid, Cetearyl Olivate, Dipropylene Glycol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Sorbitan Olivate, Hydroxyacetophenone, Panthenol, Polyquaternium-67, Polyquaternium-10, Hexylene Glycol, Disodium EDTA, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Caprylamide Mea, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil, Myristoyl/Palmitoyl Oxostearamide/Arachamide Mea, Butylene Glycol, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil, Glycolipids, Ceramide NP, Candida Bombicola/Glucose/Methyl Rapeseedate Ferment.
Allergens & Fragrance Disclosure (scent profile and potential irritants)
- Fragrance Status: Fragrance-Free. This product contains no added artificial fragrances. Some users note a very mild, neutral scent that comes from the raw ingredients themselves.
- EU Allergens: None declared by the brand in the formula.
- Potential Irritants: Formulated to be hypoallergenic. However, as with any product, individual sensitivities can occur. Butylene Glycol is present, which is generally safe but can be an irritant for a very small number of people. A patch test is always recommended.
Full Safety & Patch Test Protocol (important precautions)
Who should use this:
This cleanser is specifically designed for individuals with dry, sensitive, itchy, or barrier-compromised skin. It is gentle enough for all ages, including babies and children, and can be used on both the face and body.
Who should use with caution:
While very gentle, anyone with a known allergy to specific botanical oils (like olive or grape seed) should review the ingredient list. Its creamy nature might not feel "cleansing enough" for very oily skin types who prefer a deep foaming action, though it is still safe for them to use.
Patch Test Protocol:
- Apply a pea-sized amount of the wash to a small, discreet area of skin, such as behind the ear or on the inner elbow.
- Lather and rinse as you would normally.
- Wait 24-48 hours to check for any signs of redness, itching, or irritation.
- If no reaction occurs, it is likely safe for you to use. Discontinue use if irritation develops.
Kids & Teens: This product is an excellent and safe choice for children and teenagers, especially if they have dry or sensitive skin. It provides a simple, effective cleanse without harsh ingredients.
Sensory & Chemical Profile (texture, feel, and formulation)
- Texture: A smooth, opaque white cream. It feels rich but not heavy.
- Finish: When lathered with water, it creates a soft, low-to-medium foam. After rinsing, skin is left feeling soft, hydrated, and comfortable—not tight or greasy.
- Scent: Unscented. It carries a very faint, clean, natural scent from its base ingredients.
- pH: While not officially published, the formula uses gentle, amino-acid based surfactants and is designed for sensitive skin, indicating it is a low-pH cleanser (likely between 5.0-6.0) that respects the skin's natural acid mantle.
- Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: Contains several ingredients that may pose a risk for those with fungal acne, including Shea Butter, Grape Seed Oil, Olive Fruit Oil, and certain esters. It is not considered FA-safe. Individual responses vary.
Troubleshooting Guide (fix common issues) (quick solutions)
-
Issue: "It doesn't foam up a lot."
Solution: This is by design. Cream washes are formulated with milder surfactants to be gentle on the skin, so they produce less lather than traditional foaming cleansers. For a richer foam, use a shower puff or foaming net. -
Issue: "My skin doesn't feel 'squeaky clean' afterwards."
Solution: That's a good thing! The "squeaky clean" feeling is a sign of a stripped moisture barrier. This cleanser is formulated to leave a light layer of moisture behind, keeping your skin's protective barrier healthy and intact. -
Issue: "Can it remove heavy makeup?"
Solution: For heavy or waterproof makeup and sunscreen, it's best to use this as the second step in a double-cleanse routine, following an oil-based cleanser. It may not remove stubborn makeup on its own in one go.
Climate Fit for Mauritius (local usage advice)
- Humid Summer: For those with normal to oily skin, this may feel very gentle. It's an excellent choice for a morning cleanse or as a second cleanse at night after removing sweat, sunscreen, and grime with an oil cleanser. For dry skin, it's perfect year-round.
- Drier Winter & AC Exposure: This cleanser is a lifesaver during the cooler, drier Mauritian winter or for anyone who spends long hours in air-conditioning. It prevents the moisture loss and tightness that can result from these dry environments.
- Post-Beach/Pool: Perfect for washing off salt, chlorine, and sunscreen after a day outdoors without further irritating or drying out sun-exposed skin.

Frequently Asked Questions (your questions, answered)
- Is this cleanser suitable for my face?
- Yes, absolutely. It is formulated to be gentle enough for both the face and body, making it a versatile and economical choice.
- Why doesn't it lather as much as my regular body wash?

- Many users with atopic and eczema-prone skin have found this wash to be extremely gentle and soothing. Its barrier-repairing ingredients help to reduce the itchiness and irritation associated with dryness.
