What it is

Solid cleansing stick featuring real green tea leaves and mild surfactants to dissolve impurities with a gentle, mildly foaming finish.

Who it's for

  • Normal to combination or slightly sensitive skin wanting a low pH cleanse.
  • Travelers or gym-goers seeking spill-proof cleansing.
  • Users who prefer a balm-to-light-foam cleanser over traditional oils.

Key ingredients (INCI)

  • Camellia Sinensis Leaf (Green Tea) Powder/Extract — antioxidant and soothing feel.
  • Coconut-derived surfactants — gentle cleansing at low pH.
  • Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Peel Oil, Citrus Limon (Lemon) Peel Oil — aromatic botanical oils for lift; may tingle on very sensitive skin.
  • Glycerin — humectant support to help reduce dryness post-rinse.

Free-from / texture

  • Solid balm stick that emulsifies to a light lather upon contact with water.
  • Low pH formula aimed at maintaining skin's acid mantle.
  • Contains essential oils for scent; fragrance-free users should note.

How to use & order

  • On damp skin, glide the stick directly over face, avoiding eyes.
  • Massage with wet hands to create a light lather; rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
  • Use as a single cleanse for light makeup/sunscreen or as first cleanse before a gentle second cleanser if wearing heavy makeup.

Conflicts & layering tips

  • Follow with a hydrating toner/essence to replenish moisture after cleansing.
  • Pair with non-stripping moisturizers to maintain barrier comfort.
  • If sensitive to essential oils, limit contact time and avoid broken skin.

Evidence & notes

  • Low pH surfactants help maintain the skin's natural acid mantle compared to high-pH soaps.
  • Green tea provides antioxidant support; benefits are cosmetic and sensory.
  • Solid format minimizes mess; allow to dry between uses to prolong the stick.

Safety

  • For external use only; avoid direct contact with eyes.
  • Contains essential oils; patch test if prone to fragrance sensitivity.
  • Discontinue if irritation or redness occurs; consult a professional if persistent.
  • Store with cap secured and keep the stick surface dry between uses.
