Daily Cleanser
Gentle enough for sensitive skin, morning and night — a sulfate-free, oil-free gel that cleanses without stripping, with licorice for even tone and fruit humectants for hydration.
The Calming Routine
For reactive, redness-prone skin that flushes at the smallest trigger — a gentle three-step routine (a cleanse that doesn’t strip, green tea antioxidant defense, a calming bisabolol gel) to settle skin and keep it settled.

My skin used to react to everything — a new pillowcase, a change in weather, the wrong product. This is the routine that finally let it settle, and stay settled.
What's inside the routine.
Each product is sold separately. Together, they form a routine, perfect for AM or PM.
Defense Serum
For reactive, redness-prone skin — a serum built on green tea EGCG (its key antioxidant, one of the best-documented topicals) with conditioning tamanu oil: quiet daily defense against the everyday stress that aggravates the look of redness.
Balance Gel
For combination, congestion-prone skin, between cleanser and serum — a lightweight, oil-free gel with green tea and bisabolol (a chamomile-derived soother) that calms the look of redness without adding another rich layer.

The case for it
Why this routine works.
Reactive skin that flushes or stings usually isn't a separate skin type — it's a barrier that's been pushed past its comfort zone. Harsh surfactants, fragrance, over-active routines, heat, and weather all leave the surface more reactive, and most calming products only mask the look of redness for an hour or two. This routine works gently, in three steps: cleanse without stripping, support with antioxidants, then calm and moisturize.
The Daily Cleanser sets the baseline by not making things worse — barrier-compatible surfactants and soothing licorice and mushroom extract lift the day off without the stripped, tight feeling that leaves skin more reactive. The Defense Serum follows with green tea EGCG, one of the better-documented topical antioxidants, supported by conditioning tamanu seed oil — quiet, preventive support against the everyday environmental stress that aggravates the look of redness. The Balance Gel finishes: green tea polyphenols and bisabolol, a well-studied soothing botanical, in a light, oil-free gel that supports a calmer, more even-looking complexion over consistent use.
