FAQs
What we leave out:
Parabens, sulphates.
Is the trio suitable for all skin types?
Yes. All of these products have been designed to be suitable for all skin types — including normal, combination, oily, dry, and sensitive — thanks to the gentle formulations.
Can the cleanser remove waterproof makeup?
Dissolve Away The Day Cleanser is great at removing makeup in general, however you might want to use it as the second step of a double-cleanse (after a cleansing balm or oil) to remove anything more stubborn like longwear foundation or waterproof mascara.
Does the cleanser smell like anything?
Although our cleanser is fragrance-free, the addition of botanical ingredients such as Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Peel Oil (orange peel oil), Citrus Nobilis Peel Oil (mandarin peel oil), and Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Fruit Oil (bergamot fruit oil) offers the formula a light zingy scent.
Is the exfoliator a physical or chemical exfoliator?
It’s both. Physical exfoliation is provided by pumice and jojoba beads, whereas chemical exfoliation is provided by ingredients such as Lactobacillus/Papaya Fruit Ferment Extract, Vaccinium Myrtillus Fruit Extract, Saccharum Officinarum Extract, Citrous Aurantium Dulcis Fruit Extract and Citrous Limon Fruit Extract
How often can I use the exfoliator?
While gentle enough to use daily, you can still experience the benefits when used 2-3 times a week.
The Science
Caffeine
Caffeine has the ability to energise the skin and offers antioxidant properties, reduces inflammation and improves blood circulation.

Terminalia Ferdinandiana (Kakadu Plum) Fruit Extract
Kakadu Plum Extract is a beneficial skincare ingredient. It is high in vitamin C, which protects against free radicals, brightens the complexion, and reduces the signs of ageing. It also provides hydration, soothing effects, and antimicrobial properties for younger-looking skin.

Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil
Sunflower Seed Oil is used in skincare to moisturise and nourish the skin, as well as to provide antioxidant protection, anti-inflammatory properties, and to improve the skin's barrier function. It's also great to use on all skin types, including oily and acne-prone skin, and leaves skin smooth and soft without clogging pores.

(Lin, T.-K.; Zhong, L.; Santiago, J.L. Anti-Inflammatory and Skin Barrier Repair Effects of Topical Application of Some Plant Oils. Int. J. Mol. Sci. 2018, 19, 70.)
Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil
Jojoba Seed Oil is a versatile and lightweight oil that closely resembles the skin's natural sebum, making it appropriate for a wide range of skin types. It moisturises the skin, regulates oil production, soothes irritation, and promotes a healthy, nourished complexion.

Lactobacillus/Papaya Fruit Ferment Extract
Also known as Papaya Ferment, contains natural enzymes that gently exfoliate the skin, promoting a smoother and brighter complexion. It also has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that can help reduce redness, soothe irritation, and improve overall skin tone and texture.
