about our cleansing elixir

FREE FROM FAKE

Containing whey proteins, A and B vitamins, minerals, moisturizing lactose, gently exfoliating lactic acid and plumping and hydrating hyaluronic acid; the gel soothes while it deep-cleanses.  Perfect for daily use, this soap-free formula removes make-up, impurities, pollutants and dead skin while perfectly preparing the skin for the optimal absorption of actives.

Plus get the benefit of potent microbiome protectors!

Even if we canโ€™t see them, more than 1000 species of microbes call the upper layer of our skin their home and new research shows that balancing our skin microbiome composition is critical in terms of healthy skin.

(Think of your skin as a delicate ecosystem. If you strip away the good while cleaning away the bad, then your skin will become inflamed and sensitive.)

To prevent this, the Cleansing Elixir contains actives rich in yogurt constituents and prebiotics extracted from chicory which support skin-friendly bacteria while discouraging the growth of barrier-disrupting, unfriendly micro-organisms (think Staph aureus which contributes to eczema).

And last, but by no means least, a super-ingredient.

Powerful fructose-rich actives cross over into the realm of cosmetogenomics by regulating the gene expression of our skin cells through its exceptional affinity for their membrane receptors. This super-ingredient not only provides intense hydration but regulates inflammation and taps into the fountain of youth by supporting the longevity of proteins.

So much more than a cleanser. Your skin deserves it.

*The colour, scent and texture of our products may vary owing to natural compounds used.

Our exclusive complex of Chlorophyll, Malachite, Curcumin and Spirulina lightens sun spots and improves skin texture. Nothing short of extraordinary.

How to Use

THE MIRACLE OF THE DOUBLE-CLEANSE

I donโ€™t believe itโ€™s necessary to cleanse in the morning apart from a splash of water, but I recommend a double cleanse at night. Apply the cleanser to damp hands and gently massage over the face while it lathers for 30-60 seconds to allow the surfactants to work. Wash off with lukewarm water. Lather up again, rinse with warm water and gently dry the skin. If you are using the MultiMasker, use the Cleansing Elixir for the first cleanse and the MultiMasker for the second cleanse.

what people are saying

“If you are prone to eczema or skin inflammation or simply wanting younger-looking skin, leave the cleanser on for 15 minutes. Studies have shown that just a 15 minute application of our Cleansing Elixir not only restores an optimal microbiome balance for the most resilient skin barrier but also modifies the skin microbiome towards that of younger skin!”

Miracle Cleanser

This cleanser is out of this world. It's a miracle worker in a bottle. I have been using this cleanser for just over a month and can't believe the difference in my skins texture, appearance and overall condition. My inflammation has decreased considerably as well as having smoothed it out all over making the appearance of my skin radiant. It lathers up so into a silky emulation and feels amazing when applying it to cleanse. I don't ever write reviews but I had to share my experience as I still can't believe how fantastic this cleanser is. I won't ever use anything else again because nothing can come close to what it does as well as all the benefits when using it.
