Description
A cleanser should remove the day, not your sense of comfort. Decyl glucoside, made from glucose and plant-derived fatty alcohols, lifts oil and buildup with gentle nonionic cleansing. Cocamidopropyl betaine, made partly from coconut fatty acids, softens the lather and improves rinse performance. Vegetable glycerin acts as the wash-off buffer, helping skin feel soft instead of squeaky. Green tea supplies antioxidant support, and licorice root supports a calmer, more even-looking finish. Fermentation-made xanthan gum gives the cleanser a stable gel body, while a small amount of citric acid calibrates the finished pH to 5.0 to 5.4. A phenoxyethanol plus ethylhexylglycerin preservation system protects the water-rich bottle from bacteria, yeast, and mold in a humid bathroom. No added fragrance, essential oils, SLS, SLES, or salicylates.

Common Questions
FAQ
Why is this better than a regular facial cleanser?
It does more than make foam. The plant-derived surfactant blend removes oil, sunscreen, dirt, and daily buildup, glycerin protects the after-feel, green tea and licorice add visible antioxidant and tone support, and the finished pH stays at 5.0 to 5.4. No fragrance, essential oils, SLS, SLES, or salicylates.
What do Decyl Glucoside and Cocamidopropyl Betaine do?
They are the cleansing team. Decyl glucoside is built from glucose and plant-derived fatty alcohols and lifts oil and buildup with gentle nonionic cleansing. Cocamidopropyl betaine is made partly from coconut fatty acids and softens the lather while improving rinse performance.
Why does Cocamidopropyl Betaine sound scary?
The long name describes a purified amphoteric surfactant, not an aggressive detergent. We use it because it makes the overall cleansing blend milder and easier to rinse than relying on one high-foam cleanser alone. Individual sensitivities can still exist with any surfactant.
Why are Vegetable Glycerin, Phenoxyethanol, and Ethylhexylglycerin included?
Vegetable glycerin is the wash-off buffer that helps skin feel soft rather than tight. Phenoxyethanol and ethylhexylglycerin form the preservation system that protects this water-rich bathroom product from bacteria, yeast, and mold. The EU Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety considers phenoxyethanol safe in cosmetics within its established cosmetic limit.
What do Xanthan Gum and Citric Acid do?
Xanthan gum is a fermentation-made sugar polymer that gives the cleanser a stable gel texture instead of a runny liquid. Citric acid is the pH calibrator that brings the finished cleanser to 5.0 to 5.4. At this level it adjusts pH rather than acting as an exfoliating acid treatment.
What do Green Tea and Licorice Root do?
Green tea supplies antioxidant support and helps skin look fresh and calm. Licorice root supports a calmer, more even-looking appearance. They make the finish more thoughtful than a cleanser that only removes dirt.
Is Reverse-Osmosis Water necessary?
Yes. Water is the delivery base for the entire cleanser. Reverse osmosis reduces dissolved solids and impurities so the surfactants, glycerin, botanical extracts, pH system, and preservative can be built on a controlled, consistent base.
Will it remove makeup?
It can remove light daily makeup and sunscreen. Heavier or waterproof makeup may need an oil-based first cleanse.
Will it leave my skin tight or squeaky?
It is designed not to. Use one or two pumps, rinse thoroughly, and follow with serum or moisturizer. Individual skin can respond differently, especially if over-cleansed.
What size is available?
The cleanser comes in an 8oz amber pump bottle.
