A rich, fun-to-apply foam that’s super gentle for all skin types. Our Fresh Start Gentle Cleanser™ uses lactic and phytic acid to brighten AND break down the proteins that keep dead skin cells clinging to your skin! We added chamomile, geranium, and turmeric hydrosol and gotu kola to further reduce inflammation and even your skin tone.

This is a gentle, pH-balanced cleanser formulated with mild coconut-derived surfactants that will remove dirt, oil, and makeup without disrupting your barrier. Your face will feel smooth and refreshed without the redness or tightness from a harsher physical exfoliant. 

Key Effects: Cleanse • Exfoliate • Soften • Prep

Key Botanical + Clinical Ingredients: Chamomile Hydrosol, Geranium Hydrosol, Turmeric Hydrosol, Coconut-Derived Surfactants, Lactic Acid, Phytic Acid

Best For: Sensitive skin, daily cleansing, removing makeup, dry or reactive skin, anyone who wants gentle-but-effective Exfoliation

Pair with: Cosmic Toner (next step)

Benefits

Fresh Start is pH-balanced to protect your acid mantle, uses coconut-derived surfactants that cleanse without harshness, and includes lactic acid for gentle exfoliation. The multi-hydrosol base (chamomile, geranium, turmeric—all distilled in-house) adds botanical benefits from the first wash. If your current cleanser leaves your face feeling tight or uncomfortable, switch to this.
