Meet the cleanser

One cleanser, made well.

Format
A melting balm you massage onto dry skin, then lift off with a warm cloth.
Kind to pores
Made with non-pore-blocking (non-comedogenic) ingredients.
Texture and after-feel

A note on lavender
Locally sourced Hampshire lavender essential oil, made for slow breaths after a long day. Sensitive to essential oils? Patch test first.
What you get
50g of balm that typically lasts a few months. Want a soft cloth too? It comes with the gift box.

01 · The pot

Glass, aluminium, made in the UK.

A glass jar with an aluminium lid, both [widely recyclable]. No plastic, and made here in the UK.

02 · What's inside

Four good things.

  • Virgin coconut oil from a single source
  • Shea butter from a women's co-operative in Ghana
  • Marine algae
  • Lavender grown in Hampshire

03 · On skin

Melts into silk.

Rich butters melt into a silky oil that leaves skin feeling soft and comforted after cold water, salt and wind.

04 · The ritual

Warm cloth. Simply wipe.

Soak the cloth in warm water, wring it out and wipe the balm away. Skin feels clean, with a moisturised feel that lasts.

Why we chose a balm and cloth

Because coming home deserves its own little ritual.

We chose a balm-and-cloth format for the hands-on pleasure of cleansing: taking a moment to massage, then using a warm, damp cloth to remove. I also love the natural ingredients in this.

A quieter finish to a day of salt air, sea swims and adventure.

What are the ingredients?

Just four, and we prioritise unprocessed ingredients that are traceable to source: organic virgin coconut oil, shea butter from a women’s co-operative in Ghana that supports girls’ education in the community, marine algae and locally sourced Hampshire lavender essential oil.

Skincare that does good.

Is it vegan friendly?

Yes. Every ingredient is plant or algae based.

What packaging does it use?

A glass jar with an aluminium lid, made in the UK. No plastic tubs or pumps.
