When papaya meets almond milk, it creates a symphony of unmatched cleanliness on the skin. A very mild exfoliator, this cleanser helps to clear away gunk built up on the epidermis but does not compromise the integrity of the skin at all. An excellent choice for all skin types, especially oily, clogged skin.
While this cleanser is very gentle, it does contain exfoliating enzymes, so care should be taken when introducing it into your current routine. Rotate out other exfoliants or use them fewer times per week to avoid over-exfoliation. Some skin can take more exfoliation, so be aware of what your skin tells you and enjoy!
This product can be used 3 to 4 times a week, up to once per day. You will want to give your skin a break once a week if using this product daily.
Method of Application Dispense about a dime to nickel size amount of cleansing oil into the palm of your hand, drip warm/hot water into your palm then rub hands together to emulsify emulsify. Pat into skin, wipe off gently with a wet, warm and clean washcloth. Do not massage into your skin. Rinse with lukewarm water and gently pat skin dry.
Shelf Life and Storage Information for Our Products and Ingredients
Finished Products - generally don't need to be refrigerated as they are preserved, but you can refrigerate them to extend their shelf life. The shelf life for most products is 9-12 months. Vitamin C Serum(s) and VitaResurface products should continually be refrigerated to extend their shelf life. Sample Sizes - do have a shorter shelf life (generally 3-6 months), and items in jars can dry up quicker than this if the lid is not tightened well enough (Vitamin C Serums - use within 90 days).
Please keep your products out of humidity, heat, direct light and in a dark cabinet when possible:
Exfoliating Acid - products have a shelf life of 9-12 months. The only things we don't suggest refrigerating are the Mandelic Acid Serums or Salicylic Acid Serums, as they can crystallize in the refrigerator. If this happens, you can set the product into a hot water bath to see if the crystals will dissolve.
Additional Items That Require Refrigeration and/or Kept in the Dark:
Hydrosols and Distillates - remove 1 ounce of hydrosol and add it into a separate,sterilized spray bottle and spritzer. Keep the larger bottle in the refrigerator. Carrier and Exotic Oils - generally, you can refrigerate all carrier oils, although some very rich oils will solidify. This is fine. All you have to do is take it out, warm it up at room temperature and it should liquefy. If not, set the bottle in a hot water bath and occasionally shake the bottle, which will hopefully turn into a liquid. There are some oils with a super long shelf life, like Coconut Cream and Jojoba Oil.
Refrigeration is not necessary, but it surely won't hurt:
Essential Oils - essential oils are best stored in a cool, dark place. Co2 Extracts - these should continually be refrigerated. Butters - we suggest refrigerating our "skincare" butters. You can remove what you need and keep the rest in the fridge. Clays - keep in a dry, dark place. Shelf life is at least 2 years. Herbs - all herbs (whole or ground) should be kept in a dark, cool and dry location. Herbal (liquid) Extracts - these are created using alcohol. The alcohol pulls the constituents (properties) from each herbs - root, trunk, leaves, and flowers. They have a shelf life of 3-5 years. They can be kept in the refrigerator or a dark place. Other Raw Ingredients - i.e., Sodium PCA, Honeyquat, Oat Beta Glucan, etc. will all have a different shelf life.
I’ve been loving this cleanser so far. I it this a few times a week. I like to leave it on my skin for a bit to let it do its thing. When I wash it off, my skin feels noticeably softer.
Thank you for taking the time to review this cleanser! We appreciate you :)
