Gentle Matter ™ DAILY MOISTURE CLEANSER 100 ML
About This Formula
Cleansing is the foundation of skin health. Every product applied after it — every serum, every treatment, every moisturizer performs only as well as the cleanser that preceded it allows. A cleanser that strips the barrier's lipid matrix, disrupts the acid mantle, or compromises the skin's microbial balance forces everything that follows to compensate for damage rather than build on a stable foundation.
Gentle Matter was formulated around that understanding. A non-foaming botanical gel cleanser — skin-friendly pH, fragrance-free, SLS-free — that removes what does not belong without disturbing what does. The barrier intact. The acid mantle preserved. The skin ready to receive what comes next.
Formulated for direct skin cleansing on wet or dry skin. Suitable for all skin types — including the most sensitive and reactive.
Esthetician developed. Made without parabens, fragrance, phthalates, or dyes. Sustainably manufactured in the United States.
The Formulation
Gentle Matter is built on a green tea leaf water base — delivering EGCG polyphenol antioxidant protection with every cleanse rather than simply water. Alongside it, a plant-based, SLS-free surfactant system lifts surface debris, SPF, and light makeup effectively without the alkaline pH disruption that conventional foaming cleansers produce with every use.
Papaya enzyme provides gentle enzymatic exfoliation — dissolving the bonds holding dead surface cells without disrupting the skin's pH or compromising the barrier that cleansing should leave intact. Olive oil, jojoba, borage seed, sweet almond, and evening primrose oils contribute emollient lipids that leave the barrier supported rather than depleted after each use.
The result is a cleanser that does exactly what cleansing should do — and nothing it should not.

How to Use
Apply 3–4 pumps to hands and gently massage into the face for two minutes — wet or dry skin. The two-minute massage allows the botanical actives to work fully and supports circulation through the cleansing process.
Complete with a cool rinse and pat dry. Cool water preserves the acid mantle that warm water disrupts. Follow immediately with Immersion on still-damp skin.
In the morning, cool water alone is often sufficient — preserving the overnight repair that sleep produces without removing what the skin has built.
Can be used as a second cleanse in the evening after an oil-based first cleanse. Removes SPF and light makeup effectively.
