Your daily gentle double-cleansing ritual.

A gentle two-phase facial cleanser with organic aloe vera, chamomile and sea buckthorn. It removes makeup, SPF and daily buildup while helping skin feel clean, calm and comfortable; never stripped.

In Japan, the first step of skincare is never rushed.

Teinei ni - doing things with care and attention is the quiet discipline behind rituals that last. A cleanser applied with intention, worked gently into the skin, rinsed away completely. Because what cleansing leaves behind matters as much as what it removes.

The Aloe Calm Cleansing Essence is built on organic aloe juice, not water, as its primary base. This means every pump delivers active botanical calm before cleansing even begins. Aloe has been used across Japanese, Chinese, and Ayurvedic traditions for centuries: soothing, barrier-supporting, and deeply hydrating. The formula adds chamomile from East Asian herbal tradition, sea buckthorn from Tibetan and Chinese medicine, and raspberry extract from Korean beauty practice, each chosen because it supports the skin's own balance rather than working against it.

Fragrance-free. Allergen-free. Nothing your skin does not need.

Two-phase by design. Shake before use.

At the end of the day, skin carries more than makeup.

SPF, long-wear products, pollution, excess oil and daily buildup can collect on the surface, creating the need for a thorough yet gentle cleanse.

The Aloe Calm Cleansing Essence naturally separates into two visible layers when it rests, a clear water phase and an oil phase. This is how it is designed to work. Shake the bottle gently before each use to combine them. The two phases together is what allows the formula to lift both oil-based impurities (makeup, SPF) and water-based buildup in a single cleansing step, without the heaviness of a traditional oil cleanser.

If your bottle looks like it has two layers, that is correct. Shake it. Use it. It is working exactly as it should.

Clean skin.
Comfortable skin.
Skin that still feels like itself.

Welcome home to your calm.

What to know

Shake gently before use. This is a two-phase formula.

Shake well before use to combine the two phases. Apply a small amount to a cotton pad.
Massage gently over face in slow circular motions - teinei ni, with care.
Gently wipe over the face to remove make-up and impurities. For the eye area, avoid direct contact with the eyes and press the cotton pad gently before wiping. Follow with your usual cleanser if you prefer a double-cleanse routine.
Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
Follow with the Dark Spot Serum or your next ritual step.

Use AM and PM. For PM routines with SPF and makeup, this is the first cleanse. Follow with a gentle water-based wash for a complete double cleanse.

In the ritual: Step 0 - before everything else. The cleaner the surface, the more every step that follows can do.

Every ingredient in this formula was chosen for one reason: to cleanse without disrupting.

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice (organic) - the base of this entire formula, not water. Aloe has been used across Japanese, Chinese, and Ayurvedic traditions for centuries; soothing, barrier-supporting, and deeply hydrating. Starting with aloe rather than water means every pump delivers active calm before cleansing even begins.

Chamomile flower extract (organic) - used across East Asian herbal traditions for its anti-inflammatory and skin-calming properties. Here it works alongside aloe to reduce any sensitivity or redness triggered by the day's environment.

Sea buckthorn fruit extract (organic) - used in Tibetan and Chinese medicine for over a thousand years for skin healing and protection. Rich in carotenoids and antioxidants; supports skin recovery and a natural radiance after cleansing.

Raspberry fruit extract (organic) - used in Korean beauty traditions for its brightening and softening properties. High in ellagic acid, an antioxidant associated with even skin tone.

Paprika fruit extract (organic) - rich in carotenoids and natural vitamin C; antioxidant support for skin radiance.

Sodium Hyaluronate (Hyaluronic acid) - retains moisture in the skin throughout cleansing, so the barrier is never left dry or exposed after rinsing.

Sunflower seed oil (organic) - lightweight emollient; helps lift oil-based impurities gently while conditioning the skin surface.

Rosemary leaf extract (organic) - antioxidant; protects the formula's stability and supports skin protection against environmental stress.

Vitamin E - antioxidant stabiliser; supports barrier integrity throughout cleansing.

No fragrance. No allergen declarations required. Nothing your skin doesn't need.
