What I Like

  • EWG Rating: 2 — based on adding the ingredient list into the EWG Skin Deep Analyzer to assess ingredient-level safety.

  • A great water-based cleanser option for those who don’t love using an oil cleanser every day.

  • Aloe, glycerin, and mineral salts cleanse without leaving the skin tight or stripped.

  • Moringa and sea buckthorn oils provide antioxidant and skin-supportive benefits during cleansing.

  • Dead Sea salt and sea kelp add gentle purifying benefits without harsh surfactants.

Things to Keep in Mind

  • This cleanser contains frankincense essential oil, which may cause irritation in very sensitive or reactive skin.

  • Sea buckthorn oil and essential oils may feel more stimulating if the skin barrier is compromised.

  • Skin can be more reactive during hormonal shifts, so sensitivity may change even with products you’ve previously tolerated.

Sensitive Skin & Pregnancy Considerations

Many of the base ingredients in this cleanser — including aloe, coconut oil, castor oil, glycerin, mineral salts, and vitamin E — are generally considered low risk for topical use during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

This formula also contains frankincense and sea buckthorn essential oils. These are not linked to confirmed hormonal or developmental concerns at cosmetic-use levels; however, essential oils may feel more stimulating or aromatic for some people during pregnancy, especially if skin sensitivity increases.

There is no confirmed evidence that this cleanser is unsafe when used as directed during pregnancy or breastfeeding. If you know you are sensitive to essential oils or notice increased skin sensitivity during pregnancy, patch testing can be helpful.
