How is the Cleanse Bar different from a conventional soap?
The most important distinction is that our Calming Balance Cleanse Bar contains no actual soap. While it may look similar, it is radically different in terms of formulation. It shares more similarities with a gentle milky cleanser, but without the water.
Why would I use this over a liquid cleanser?
Our solid cleanser offers several benefits over liquid cleansers:
Great for your skin: Our cleanse bar has minimal water content, eliminating the need for preservatives. This is excellent news for your microbiome, making it a perfect choice for maintaining happy and healthy skin.
Economical: Our cleanse bars are highly concentrated and can outlast two to three liquid cleansers.
Sustainable: Both our cleanse bar and its packaging are 100% plastic-free and waste-free, contributing to a more sustainable skincare routine.
I have aging skin, can I use this bar?
Absolutely! Aging skin tends to be thinner and more susceptible to damage. Harsh cleansers can further thin and damage the skin barrier, which is counterproductive for aging skin. Our super gentle and nourishing bar is specifically designed to rebalance and support the skin's natural mechanisms, helping it look and feel its best.
Is the cleanse bar safe for kids?
Yes, our cleanse bar is gentle enough for the delicate skin of children. It is preservative-free, making it ideal for preserving their fragile and protective skin mechanisms.
I have acne, can I use this cleanser?
Certainly! Our cleanse bar is super gentle yet effective in providing a deep clean without stripping the skin. It is naturally rich in postbiotics, which promote gentle cell turnover and help balance the skin's microbiome. Another great choice for acne-prone skin is our rice + oat powder cleanser, which also has a brightening effect.
I react to everything, can I use this cleanse bar?
Our products are formulated to address common allergens. We intentionally exclude nuts, fragrance, essential oils, parabens, silicons, triclosan, mineral oils, sulfates, and colorants from our range. We also avoid other ingredients that have been linked to reactions in people with sensitive skin. However, since everyone's body is unique, we still recommend doing a patch test on an unseen area before using our products for the first time, just to be safe.
How long will my bar last?
The lifespan of your bar will depend on how and where you use it. Here are some approximate durations:
Face cleansing (twice daily): Around 2.5 months
Face and body cleansing (twice daily): Around 1 month
How do I care for my cleanse bar?
To make the most of your cleanse bar, avoid running it endlessly under the shower as it is not a soap. Instead, wet your palms and gently rub the solid cleanser between them. Return it to its holder and activate the product by vigorously rubbing your hands together until a creamy foam forms. Transfer the foam to your skin and wash as usual, rinsing thoroughly.
