A gentle, Aloe-based cleanser featuring Alpine Rose Stem Cells, soothing botanicals, and probiotics designed to revive sensitive and dry skin without stripping moisture.
This is a high-performance formulation that utilizes Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice as the primary base instead of plain water, offering superior soothing and hydrating properties immediately upon application. The surfactant system, utilizing Decyl Glucoside, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, and Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, is exceptionally gentle and effective for removing daily grime without stripping the skin’s lipid barrier. The formula is packed with active ingredients usually reserved for serums, including Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid for depth hydration, Lactococcus Ferment Lysate (postbiotics) for microbiome support, and a complex blend of Alpine Rose Stem Cells and superfruit antioxidants (Pomegranate, Acai, Goji). It is well-balanced to clean while conditioning the skin.
The formula is free from harsh sulfates (SLS/SLES), parabens, and formaldehyde releasers, utilizing gentle preservatives like Sodium Benzoate and Potassium Sorbate. However, a perfect safety score is deducted due to the presence of Natural Fragrance, Pelargonium Graveolens (Rose Geranium) Flower Oil, and the potential allergen Citronellol. While these are natural origin, volatile essential oils and fragrance components can be sensitizing to users with compromised skin barriers or specific contact allergies.
This cleanser represents an excellent fusion of gentle cleansing and active skincare treatment. It stands out by replacing water with Aloe Vera and incorporating high-end ingredients like Plant Stem Cells and Probiotics. It is particularly well-suited for dry, mature, or sensitive skin types looking for a non-drying wash. The only caveat is for those with extreme fragrance sensitivity, who should patch test due to the botanical scent components; otherwise, it is a top-tier product in the natural skincare category.
This formulation stands out immediately by utilizing Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice as its primary base rather than plain water. This decision creates an inherently soothing and hydrating foundation, which is ideal for compromised or delicate skin barriers. The cleansing action is driven by Decyl Glucoside and Cocamidopropyl Betaine, mild surfactants derived from coconuts and sugars. These agents provide a satisfying foam and effective removal of surface impurities without the harshness associated with sulfates, ensuring the skin’s natural lipid barrier remains intact.
The star ingredients revolve around a complex of Alpine Rose Stem Cells, Rosa Centifolia, and Rosehip Oil. These components work synergistically to provide antioxidant protection, reduce inflammation, and improve skin resilience. The addition of a Fruit Stem Cell Complex—featuring Apple and Grape extracts—alongside a “superfruit” blend of Acai, Goji, and Aronia, injects a potent dose of antioxidants. These ingredients help defend the skin against environmental aggressors and oxidative stress, which are primary contributors to premature aging.
Beyond botanicals, the formula embraces modern skincare science with the inclusion of Lactococcus Ferment Lysate, a probiotic ingredient that supports a healthy skin microbiome. A balanced microbiome is essential for reducing reactivity and maintaining clear skin. Hydration is further reinforced by Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, Glycerin, and Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5), which draw moisture into the skin, while Allantoin acts as a skin-calming agent to mitigate redness.
However, while this product is targeted at sensitive skin, it does contain Pelargonium Graveolens (Rose Geranium) Flower Oil, Citronellol, and Natural Fragrance. While these naturally derived scent components create a luxurious sensory experience, they can act as sensitizers for individuals with hyper-reactive skin or specific allergies to essential oils. For the majority of users, this cleanser offers a beautifully balanced, hydrating wash that leaves the face feeling soft and refreshed, but those with a history of fragrance contact dermatitis should patch-test first.
