Core Ingredients
-
Zea Mays (Corn) Starch: Provides silky, absorbent powder base that transforms into smooth foam when activated with water. Helps create luxurious texture without grittiness or harsh particles.

Potassium Myristate & Sodium Cocoyl Glycinate: Gentle plant-derived surfactants that help lift dirt, oil, makeup, and impurities without harsh stripping action or disrupting natural skin oils.
-
Papain, Bromelain, & Protease (Enzyme Complex): Fruit-derived proteolytic enzymes that gently dissolve dead skin cells, keratinized debris, and old proteins without chemical irritation—naturally gentle exfoliation.
-
Gluconolactone (PHA - Polyhydroxy Acid): Humectant exfoliant providing gentle cell turnover with significantly reduced irritation compared to AHA/BHA, suitable even for sensitive and reactive skin types.
-
Allantoin & Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate: Soothing agents derived from comfrey and licorice root to calm irritation, reduce redness, comfort inflamed skin, and support barrier recovery.
-
Probiotic Ferments (Lactococcus, Saccharomyces, Lactobacillus, Bifida, Vitreoscilla): Live or fermented probiotic cultures maintain healthy skin ecosystem, support barrier function, balance skin microflora, and improve overall skin health.

-
Beta-Glucan: Natural immune-supporting humectant providing hydration, skin conditioning, and anti-inflammatory benefits for improved moisture retention and skin resilience.
Important Notes
-
Avoid Overlapping with Strong Actives: Because this cleanser includes active enzymes and exfoliating components (enzyme + PHA), avoid using on the same occasion as other strong acids (AHA/BHA), retinoids, or vitamin C without spacing or using on different days to reduce cumulative irritation risk.
-
Start Slowly If Sensitive: If you have very dry, barrier-compromised, or ultra-sensitive skin, start with once per day (preferably evening) or alternate-day use to allow skin to adjust. Gradually increase frequency as tolerance builds.
-
Patch Test Essential: Always patch-test before first full-face use: apply small amount behind ear or on inconspicuous area for 24 hours to assess individual tolerance and potential sensitivities.
-
Eye Area Precaution: Avoid contact with eyes as enzyme activity can cause irritation. If contact occurs, rinse immediately and thoroughly with lukewarm water for several minutes.
-
Water Ratio Customization: Adjust water ratio to desired intensity—less water creates thicker, more exfoliating consistency for oily skin; more water creates gentle foam for sensitive skin. This allows personalized cleansing experience.
-
Storage Essential: Store in dry, airtight container to prevent moisture absorption and powder clumping. Keep away from humidity and moisture between uses. Proper storage maintains formula efficacy and texture.
-
Discontinue If Irritation Occurs: Stop use immediately if excessive redness, stinging, burning, or severe irritation develops—consult dermatologist if concerns persist or worsen.
Step 1 - Measure & Dispense: Pour approximately ½ teaspoon of the powder into your damp palms (adjust amount based on face size and personal preference). Use slightly less for sensitive skin, more for deeper exfoliation on oily areas.
Step 2 - Create Lather: Add a few drops of water gradually and rub between your hands until a creamy, milky foam forms (typically 5-10 seconds of mixing). Adjust water amount based on desired consistency—less water = thicker exfoliating consistency; more water = gentler foam.
Step 3 - Massage Gently: Using your fingertips, massage the foam onto your face in small circular motions for approximately 20-30 seconds, focusing on areas with congestion (T-zone, chin) and texture concerns. Avoid sensitive eye area completely and be gentle around mouth area.
Step 4 - Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water (cold water can tighten pores; hot water may irritate) until all foam and residue are completely removed. Use multiple rinses to ensure no powder residue remains on skin.
Step 5 - Pat Dry & Continue Routine: Gently pat skin dry with clean towel (avoid rubbing harshly). Apply your regular skincare routine—toner, serum, essence, moisturizer, and SPF (morning). The cleanser preps skin beautifully for optimal absorption of subsequent products.
Frequency Guidelines: Use once or twice daily, depending on your skin's tolerance. Once daily (preferably evening) is recommended for most users, especially initially. Those with oily, resilient skin may tolerate twice daily; sensitive skin should start once daily or alternate days.
For Dry/Sensitive Skin: Use once daily in evening only. Add more water to create gentler foam. Consider using 2-3 times weekly initially, increasing frequency as tolerance builds over 2-4 weeks.
For Oily/Combination Skin: Can use twice daily (morning & evening) or once daily depending on preference. Use less water for slightly stronger exfoliating effect if desired. Can increase to daily use once tolerance is established.
