Best Natural Powder Cleanser, Beauty Prevention Awards 2025.

Key ingredients

  • Colloidal oatmeal (10%): rich in beta-glucan, to soothe and protect skin while it cleanses.
  • Rice bran and rice powder: a traditional grain cleanser with vitamins and ferulic acid, for a gentle polish and a brighter-looking complexion.
  • Willow bark and lactic acid: gentle helpers that smooth away dull surface skin.
  • Kaolin clay and magnesium: soak up excess oil without drying.
  • Inulin and lactic acid: prebiotic and postbiotic ingredients from The Biome Advantage™, to help support a balanced skin microbiome.
  • Turmeric: an antioxidant-rich botanical that helps skin feel calm.

Why a powder cleanser?

The formula is waterless until you use it, so the active ingredients stay fresh, and you control the strength: less powder for a soft daily cleanse, more for a deeper polish or mask. It's light and spill-proof for travel, too.

How to use

  1. Daily cleanse: dampen skin and palms. Add half a teaspoon of powder to your palms with a little water and rub until a creamy lather forms. Massage over your face in circles for 15 to 30 seconds, then rinse.
  2. Makeup and sunscreen: add a few drops of Barrier Restore Nutrient Oil to the lather for a deeper cleanse.
  3. Brightening mask (once or twice a week): mix two teaspoons of powder with a teaspoon of water, smooth over face and neck, leave for 5 minutes, then rinse.

Follow with the Replenishing Hydra-Soothe Serum and face oil, or get all three in the Skin Reset System. Prefer a bar? Compare our gentle cleansers for sensitive skin.

Multi-functional

Brightening Cleanser: Apply a teaspoon of powder to wet hands and activate until creamy foam forms, cleanse skin in gentle circular motions and rinse as usual.

Deep Oil cleanse: Mix as above, but add a few drops of our Barrier Restore oil  to your lather. Ideal for lifting heavy make-up or sunscreen.

Brightening Mask: Mix two teaspoons of cleansing powder, with a teaspoon of water. Apply to face and neck with fingertips or mask brush. Allow to dry for 5 minutes and rinse thoroughly with water.

Scalp detox - mix as a cleanser and deeply massage into scalp, rinse thoroughly.

    The best cleanser!

    This leaves my skin feeling genuinely clean and fresh without that tight, stripped feeling I sometimes get from cleansers.

    I love how gentle it is, but it still feels like it’s actually doing something. My skin feels really soft and balanced afterwards!!

    Favourite skincare

    As someone with sensitive, acne prone skin, Biobod has completely changed my skincare game. Before using the products, I introduced them slowly and tested one at a time because my skin reacts to almost everything. Thankfully, my skin loved every single one.

    I've struggled with acne for as long as I can remember, and for years I never felt comfortable leaving the house without concealer to hide my breakouts. Now, I can do my skincare routine, walk out the door makeup free, and actually feel confident in my own skin. I honestly never thought I'd get to this point.

    The biggest thing for me isn't just that my skin looks better it's how happy and confident I feel. My family and friends, who have seen me struggle with acne for years, have all commented on how clear and healthy my skin looks, and that means so much to me.

    If you have sensitive, acne prone skin and have been searching for products that are gentle but actually work, I genuinely recommend giving Biobod a try. It's been a total game changer for me.

    Adore its formula as it contains goodness of rice powder, oatmeal powder, turmeric, to gently cleanse the skin and brighten it as well.
    Its texture so finely milled that it feels like a dream on skin.

    This is a gorgeous cleanser, it isn’t harsh on the skin and smells so nice too. Your skin feels so clean afterward, but not in a clinical way. It feels so fresh and light. Would absolutely recommend!

    I had been looking for this product for 5 year

    As a professional skin therapist, I am super specific about what I want in a product, and this has absolutely blown me away, and I am now in love.

    This is respectful of the skin barrier, whilst still providing glow and extremely gentle exfoliation. It's suitable for sensitive, sensitized, reactive skin and acne prone skin.

    I had been looking for 5 years to find a locally made option for a product that has been a staple in the facials I provide for clients for 10 years, and this is that. It truly felt like I had found the holy cup when I got to try this product.

    Amazing!

    I have sensitive, blemish prone skin that’s very oily. Cleansing has always been my least favourite skincare step because most cleansers irritate my skin or don’t clean thoroughly enough. I have been so surprised at how effective and gentle this cleanser is. My skin feels soft is actually clean. I’ve even skipped my oil cleanser and this gets all my sunscreen off at the end of the day. Thanks biobod, safe to say I’ll be repurchasing!

    My Sensitive Skin’s Holy Grail

    The only cleanser I truly trust! I’ve gone through three bottles and have never looked back. As someone who has always struggled with perioral dermatitis, this works perfectly as both a gentle cleanser and exfoliator for my sensitive skin. Thank you, Bio Bod!

    A really versatile product!

    I adore this cleansing powder for smoothing my skin and leaving it less textured without causing any irritation! as someone with dry skin, exfoliating products can often be scary but this cleanser is so gentle i never have to worry about it causing me any issues! I often get flaky skin because of my dryness and this product sloughs off the flakes and leaves me with glowy, smooth skin every time. it’s definitely an interesting product and can take some getting used to if you haven’t used a powder cleanser before but now i reach for it constantly! I also really enjoy it on my dry patches all over my body and even as a scalp treatment/scrub. A very versatile and effective product that really surprised me in the best possible way 😍

    Amazing

    This is a fantastic cleanser. I like that you can make it thicker for a more exfoliating cleanser or thinner for a more "milky" smoother cleanser. Have bought a second bottle I like it that much.

    Such a lovely serum, I use it almost daily (I alternate between biobod amd Edible Beauty). It works well and I don't feel like I have completed my skincare routine without using it.

    It feels so nice on the skin

    The cleanser being a powder is life changing, and I wasn’t sure if it would lather but it’s perfect because you can make it to your own desired consistency. It feels so nice on the skin and is just oat smelling which is so good for the skin no artificial fragrance.

    so calming!

    I keep coming back to this cleanser. I have acne prone/very red skin and after i use this cleanser my skin is always calmer and less inflamed. It is not harsh, it is gentle but effective and exactly what my skin wants. it's helping in my plan to heal my skin barrier. works so well with my konjac sponge!

    Natural product, great results

    This cleanser is so lovely to use. It is a silky smooth powder made of natural ingredients and with a little water cleans your skin without leaving any tightness or redness.
    Also a big tick to Biobod for their dedication to sustainable packaging. Well done!

    I have been using the Rice & Oat Cleansing Powder for about 6 weeks now and it feels really nourishing on my skin and seems to have evened out my skin tone. I also like to make a paste and use it as a masque about once a week which is beautiful, my skin feels soft and well taken care of.

    Love it!

    It’s the nicest cleanser I ever used, it soothes my sensitive skin. At first I was hesitant with the powder but it’s super easy to use and not messy at all. I use it with oil or just with water. Definitely a keeper.

    FAQs

    How does a cleansing powder work?

    It's a waterless powder that turns into a creamy, low-foam lather when you add water. Rice, oat and gentle surfactants lift away dirt, oil and sunscreen, and you control the strength by how much powder you use.

    How do I use the Gentle Rice + Oat Cleansing Powder?

    Dampen your skin and palms, add half a teaspoon of powder with a little water and rub until a creamy lather forms. Massage over your face in circles for 15 to 30 seconds, then rinse. Use it morning and evening, or evening only.

    Is it suitable for sensitive and acne-prone skin?

    Yes. It suits all skin types, including sensitive, dry, oily and acne-prone skin. It's fragrance-free and essential oil-free, and the colloidal oatmeal helps soothe skin while it cleanses.

    Is it an exfoliator?

    It gently polishes as it cleanses. Fine rice powder, willow bark and lactic acid smooth away dull surface skin, but it's gentle enough to use every day, unlike a scrub.

    Does it remove makeup and sunscreen?

    Yes. For heavy makeup or water-resistant sunscreen, add a few drops of Barrier Restore Nutrient Oil to the lather for a deeper cleanse.

    How do I use it as a mask?

    Mix two teaspoons of powder with a teaspoon of water, smooth over your face and neck, leave it for 5 minutes, then rinse. Once or twice a week is plenty.

    Does it have a scent?

    There's no added fragrance or essential oils. You may notice a faint, natural scent from the oat, rice and turmeric.

    How long does a 50g jar last?

    About six weeks with daily use, at half a teaspoon per cleanse.

    Should I choose the cleansing powder or the cleanse bar?

    Choose the powder for face cleansing with a gentle polish and a mask option. Choose the Calming Balance Cleanse Bar for a soap-free cleanse you can use on your face and body. Both are fragrance-free and suit sensitive skin.

    What if it doesn't suit my skin?

    Every order is covered by our 30-day Happiness Guarantee. If you're not happy within 30 days, contact hello@biobod.com.au and we'll make it right (T&Cs apply).
