Cream Face Wash for Dry and Sensitive Skin

Details

A soothing, non-foaming cream cleanser for dry, tight, flaky, wind-burnt, or reactive skin, and for anyone whose face stings after an ordinary face wash. Fifteen ingredients, every single one printed with its percentage on this page.

• Kindness is a surfactant number, not a marketing word: Sensitive-skin cleansers are routinely built on the same surfactant load as an everyday gel (8% to 15%), then given a soothing extract at a fraction of a percent and a gentle claim on the front. What actually decides whether a wash stings is the surfactant, how much of it there is, and the pH. This wash runs at 2.08% active surfactant from plant-derived Coco-Glucoside - roughly a quarter of an ordinary gel wash. It produces a rich milky slip without lather, so your skin's own protective barrier lipids remain undisturbed.
• Barrier lipid replacement: Formulated with 4.0% refined sunflower seed oil on purpose. On reactive skin, an unrefined virgin oil's higher load of plant proteins, waxes, and free fatty acids is an allergic trigger rather than a virtue. We take the refined, deodorized cosmetic grade: pure, hypoallergenic triglycerides exceptionally rich in linoleic acid (~60%), the essential building block your skin uses to rebuild Ceramide 1 and seal the moisture barrier.
• Dosed colloidal oatmeal: 1.0% pharmaceutical-grade Colloidal Oatmeal (Avena Sativa Kernel Flour), milled to a fine 20 to 45 micron powder and blended into cool glycerin below 42°C to prevent starch clumping or grittiness. It delivers calming avenanthramides and beta-glucans that immediately relieve tightness, itching, and neuro-sensory redness.
• Provitamin B5 deep hydration: Formulated with 1.0% D-Panthenol paired with 0.10% Pantolactone to prevent breakdown over shelf life, drawing moisture deep into dry surface layers.
• Honest trade-offs: First, it does not foam. A cream wash at 2.08% surfactant produces a comforting milky cushion and no bubbles; if you rinse expecting squeaky clean, you will think it has not worked. Second, the same low surfactant load that makes it kind means it will not dissolve waterproof mascara or heavy mineral sunscreen in a single pass - take those off with an oil or balm first, then wash. Third, fragrance-free means it smells faintly of fresh oat and vegetable oil; there is nothing added to mask its natural scent.
• The right cleanser for you: Built for dry, tight, reactive, or winter-parched skin. If your skin is normal to combination, choose the Gentle Daily Face Wash; if oily and breakout-prone, choose the Clarifying Face Wash.
• Packaging: Pharmaceutical-grade Type III amber glass bottle that filters light to protect delicate sunflower lipids and oat bioactives, fitted with a 1.5 ml lockable lotion pump in an unlaminated white-top kraft carton.
