Your face wash is only half working.

If this sounds familiar, you're not alone.

Your skin feels tight after washing.

Traditional soaps are alkaline. They strip your natural oils along with the dirt, leaving skin uncomfortable, dry, and irritated.

Pores stay clogged.

Sweat, SPF, pollution. It all settles into your pores. Without proper exfoliation, you get blackheads, bumpy texture, and breakouts.

Daily damage builds up.

UV, air pollution, smoke. Free radicals from the environment cling to your skin all day, weakening collagen and accelerating ageing. Most face washes don't address this.

Why we built this

Your face wash should clean and protect.

Most cleansers just remove dirt. They strip your skin's natural oils, leave it tight and dry, and do nothing about the pollution, UV damage, and free radicals your face absorbs every day. We built a face wash that actually helps your skin. 1% salicylic acid gently exfoliates inside the pore, clearing buildup and smoothing texture. Sea buckthorn oil neutralises free radicals from UV, pollution, and environmental stress. And unlike alkaline soaps that dry you out, this bar leaves skin clean, balanced, and ready for moisturiser. Because there's no water in the formula, it outlasts liquid cleansers by months. Fragrance-free. Clinically approved for sensitive skin. Use it every evening to remove the day's grime and let your skin recover overnight.

What this means for you

Clearer skin with daily use.

1% salicylic acid exfoliates inside the pore, dissolving the buildup that causes blackheads and breakouts. Gentle enough for daily use, effective enough to see results within weeks.

What this means for you

Protected against environmental damage.

Sea buckthorn oil is packed with antioxidants and omega fatty acids. It neutralises free radicals from UV and pollution, supports skin regeneration, and helps even out tone and texture.

What this means for you

Clean without the stripped feeling.

Lathers into a soft foam that rinses clean. Your skin feels fresh and balanced, not tight or dry. Ready for moisturiser, not gasping for it.

Every ingredient matters.

Every ingredient matters. We use only what’s needed—nothing more. Our high-performance formulas are built on cutting-edge science and smart ingredient tech. That’s why they work and why we’re different.

WHAT'S IN IT AND WHY?
  • Salicylic Acid (1%) — A beta hydroxy acid (BHA) that is oil-soluble, allowing it to penetrate into pores and exfoliate from within. Dissolves the bonds between dead skin cells, clears sebum buildup, and reduces inflammation. Effective against blackheads, breakouts, and uneven texture while being gentle enough for daily use on sensitive skin.
  • Hippophae Rhamnoides (Sea Buckthorn) Oil — One of the most nutrient-dense plant oils available. Contains omega-3, -6, -7, and -9 fatty acids, plus vitamins A, C, and E. Neutralises free radicals caused by UV exposure, air pollution, and environmental stress. Supports collagen synthesis, reduces inflammation, and promotes skin regeneration for more even tone and texture.
  • Sodium Coco-Sulfate — A coconut-derived surfactant that creates effective lather while being gentler than traditional sulfates. Removes dirt, sweat, and SPF without disrupting the skin's natural pH or stripping the lipid barrier.
  • Bis-Diglyceryl Polyacyladipate-2 — A vegan alternative to lanolin that forms a breathable hydrating barrier. Locks in moisture post-wash and soothes irritated or sensitive skin.
  • Olus Oil — A 100% plant-derived emollient that prevents moisture loss and leaves a light, non-greasy finish. Mimics petrolatum's protective properties without the heavy feel.

    Great soap for after a hard day

    This is great to use at the end of the day, and does last for a while. Once skin is dry I use the daily repair before bed. It’s that good my wife has started using it so will need to purchase more often!

    Pros Refreshing, Non-greasy, Works on sensitive skin, Better-looking skin

    Face Cleansing Bar

    I walk to work and back, so like to wash my face with this cleansing bar at night. Even though I have dry skin, it does not feel harsh and drying. I am on my second bar now.
