RESTORE: Liquid Balm Cleanser
Nourishing · Barrier-Honouring · Deeply Comforting
The way you cleanse your skin sets the tone for everything that follows. It also sets the tone for your nervous system.
This is an oil-to-milk cleanser of rare gentleness. Rich with nutrient-dense cold-pressed botanicals, powered by a plant-based surfactant that lifts impurities without disrupting the skin's microbiome, and formulated to leave your skin not just clean, but genuinely nourished. Softer than before you started.
Most cleansers strip. They remove, not just the makeup, the sunscreen, the day, but the natural oils, the ceramides, the lipid barrier that your skin has spent all day building to protect itself. And for stressed, depleted, or reactive skin, that stripping is not a neutral act. It is a trigger.
Restore Liquid Balm Cleanser was formulated with the deliberate intention of changing that message entirely.
Restore begins as a silky liquid balm, botanical-rich, deeply comforting, and effective at dissolving makeup, sunscreen, and the residue of the day without stripping a single molecule of the skin's own lipid layer.
When water meets the formula, it transforms. The balm emulsifies into a lightweight cleansing milk, rinsing cleanly and leaving behind a veil of nourishment you can feel immediately. No tightness. Just clean, calm, balanced skin.
The transformation is powered by Quillaja Saponaria Extract, a natural saponin surfactant derived from the soapbark tree. Unlike sulphates or synthetic detergents, it cleanses in harmony with the skin's microbiome, preserving the delicate ecosystem essential to long-term barrier health.
The Botanicals Behind the Formula
Marula Oil (Sclerocarya birrea)
Cold-pressed from the kernels of the marula fruit, this oil is one of the most biocompatible botanical oils in existence. With an oleic acid content of over 70%, Marula is structurally similar to the skin's own sebum. Marula is the most intelligent first-step botanical we could have chosen.
Sea Buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides)
Cold-pressed from certified organic sea buckthorn berries, a plant that thrives in the harsh, mineral-rich soils of Scandinavia and is deeply embedded in Norwegian botanical wellness tradition. Sea Buckthorn is one of the most nutrient-dense botanicals on earth: extraordinarily rich in Omega-3, 6, 7, and 9 fatty acids.
Tamanu Oil (Calophyllum inophyllum)
A revered botanical in Pacific and South Asian healing traditions, Tamanu oil is cold-pressed from the seeds of the Tamanu tree and has been used for centuries to heal, soothe, and restore compromised skin.
How Your Skin Will Feel After Every Use
The difference between Restore and a conventional cleanser is felt immediately from the first time you use it and every time after. There is no that-stripped-clean sensation that so many cleansers mistake for effectiveness.
- Makeup, sunscreen, and daily buildup removed completely.
- Skin feels soft, nourished, and supple immediately after rinsing
- No tightness, dryness, or post-cleanse reactivity, even for sensitive or barrier-compromised skin
- Skin barrier integrity maintained and supported with every use
