Best cleanser for dry skin
"My skin is extremely dry. I have tried many other oil based cleansers and this one is by far the best at removing product/sunscreen/makeup while not drying out my skin. In fact my skin feels hydrated after cleaning."

Why we stand behind it
This microbiome-friendly and essential oil-free cleanser effectively removes debris, sunscreen and makeup without stripping the skin of its protective oils.
Reconceptualizing the meaning of deep cleansing, it uses omega-6 rich oils to penetrate the origin of congestion deep within the follicle rather than merely scrubbing the surface of the skin and over drying it.
Key ingredients
Omega-6 oils: Safflower and sunflower oil decongest pores where congestion starts in the follicle. Breaks up deposits by thinning sebum, allowing oils to flow to the surface where they lubricate skin.
Decyl glucoside: A mild non-sudsing cleaning agent deep cleans without stripping skin of oils.
Pre and probiotic complex: Blend of commensal microbes found on the skin and prebiotics which nourish them. Supports and maintains the health of the skin microbiome.
Super oxide dismutase: Powerful antioxidant that protects against damage to skin cells’ lipid barrier.

What is an undertone?
An undertone is the color beneath the surface of your skin, which never changes (even with a tan). There are three types of undertones:
Pink/Cool
I see red or pink undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin burns easily, but barely tans.
My skin looks better in silver jewelry than gold.
Neutral
I see both pink and yellow undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin sometimes burns and sometimes tans.
My skin looks good in both gold and silver jewelry.
Yellow/Warm
I see yellow or golden undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin rarely burns, but tans easily.
My skin looks better in gold jewelry than silver.
