Botanical Clarity for Oily and Combination Skin
A gentle facial cleanser designed to balance excess oil while preserving the skin’s natural moisture barrier. This formula is nearly all naturally derived, using plant-based surfactants and botanical extracts to cleanse without over-drying. A minimal amount of safe, non-irritating synthetic thickener and preservative ensures stability and effectiveness.
Lightly scented with 100% pure essential oils of grapefruit and lime, this non-lathering gel is ideal for oily, combination, and blemish-prone skin.
Crafted without SLS or parabens, this cleanser offers a purifying experience with the added benefit of bright, uplifting aromatherapy from grapefruit and lime oils.
