Why this exists
Sensitive skin is often asked to tolerate cleansing formulas that are too fragranced, too heavily preserved, or simply too stripping for daily use. This cleanser is built to solve that imbalance through restraint : a short, precise formula centred on naturally derived surfactants rather than harsh cleansing systems, with humectants and botanicals chosen to support comfort during and after washing. Glycerin and Sodium PCA help offset the moisture loss that can follow cleansing, while linden, jasmine, and plum extracts bring a considered botanical layer to the formula. The result is a dual-use cleanser for face and body that focuses on effective cleansing without compromising the skin's feeling of balance.

The application
How to layer this
-
1
Apply to damp skin
Use morning and night on damp face or body skin. Work into a gentle lather with your hands.
-
2
Cleanse with restraint
Massage briefly, focusing on areas that need purification without overworking the skin. The formula is designed to cleanse effectively with a light touch.
-
3
Rinse thoroughly
Rinse well with lukewarm water until the skin feels clean and comfortable. Pat dry rather than rubbing.
What to expect
On the skin, over time
Day 1
Skin feels clean after rinsing, with no immediate tightness or harsh after-feel. Sensitive skin is left more comfortable than it would be with a stronger cleanser.
Week 1
The post-wash feel becomes consistently calmer and less reactive. Daily cleansing starts to feel easier to tolerate on face and body.
Week 4
A more stable baseline of comfort develops with regular use. The skin continues to feel clean without the dry, stripped sensation that can build over time.
The deeper detail
The formulation, the provenance, the standard
Formulation
The formula is intentionally short. Aqua, Coco-Sulfate, Coco-Glucoside, and Cocamidopropyl Betaine form the cleansing core : a naturally derived surfactant blend that produces a gentle lather effective on both light facial impurities and body soiling without over-stripping the barrier. Glycerin provides humectancy. Xanthan Gum and Acacia Senegal Gum structure the formula and contribute a soft skin feel. Sodium PCA restores the NMF depleted by cleansing.
Sodium Levulinate and Sodium Anisate provide natural preservation derived from fermentation and botanical origin respectively, keeping the formula clean without synthetic preservative load. Prunus Domestica Plum Fruit Extract, organically certified, contributes polyphenol antioxidant activity and a softening skin feel. Tilia Cordata Linden Flower Extract, organic, provides the formula's primary calming botanical action. Jasminum Officinale Jasmine Flower Extract adds further soothing and comforting notes. CI 77891 (Titanium Dioxide) gives the formula a clean white appearance at a purely cosmetic dose. Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate completes the natural preservation system.
Provenance
A small-batch boutique skincare house, made to order.

Reviews and reflections
-
Easy to use
Swapped this in after my old cleanser with the fiddly cap got on my nerves. This one is dead easy to grip in the shower and the flip top opens without me faffing about. Rinses off nicely too, which is the main thing really.
-
Verified
Partner noticed it
Face looked fresher after use. Light texture, sinks in quickly, but the price still gives me pause.
-
Verified
works in cold water
Still foams properly even with cooler water. Lifts oil without tightness. Does the job.
-
Verified
actually calms redness
My skin usually kicks off after cleansing but this one's different. Feels calm on rinse, even when I use it post-gym. Foam is modest but the finish is clean without harshness.
-
Verified
Not quite even
Redness looked lower. Finish still a bit patchy.
-
Verified
does its job
Clean rinse and skin feels settled after. I used it evening after makeup remover and it left no tightness, though the scent is a touch plain.
-
Verified
nearly perfect
Skin likes the minimal formula. Removes makeup and grime well, handy after gym too. Need a bit more for heavy mascara though.
-
use it with a cloth
I use it with a damp muslin and lukewarm water, takes off tinted moisturiser and city grime without fuss. Keeps things comfortable after washing, which I notice most in winter. Not flashy but it does exactly what I need for face and body. Works with heavier makeup if you go twice.
-
Verified
reliable
Still gentle on my mature skin, but it lifts off SPF and everyday grime well after an evening cleanse. Slightly plain scent, yet my face feels calm and clean afterwards.
-
Verified
suits reactive skin
Use it with a flannel. Lifts sunscreen nicely.
-
Verified
Cleanse without residue
Weightless and unscented, it rinses away cleanly and leaves my dry skin ready for serum and cream.
-
gentle but not enough
Leaves skin comfortable rather than tight, which I like. With just my hands and lukewarm water it handles light grime fine, but I needed a second cleanse after a full day in SPF and city dust. Fine as a gentle morning wash, though I'd have preferred more oomph for heavier makeup days.
-
Verified
morning favourite
Light lather, never feels tight after rinsing. The allergen-free thing actually matters to me because my skin's sensitive. Scent stays really quiet which I prefer.
-
Verified
does sunscreen no problem
Deals with sunscreen and a full day out. Soft lather, no residue. Post-wash feel is comfortable.
-
Verified
understated and good
Avoids heavy fragrance which I like. Gentle foam that rinses properly even with cooler water. Face is left settled not squeaky. Used it on shoulders too, works consistently.
