What I Like

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

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

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

  • Moringa and sea buckthorn oils provide antioxidant support and skin nourishment 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 irritate very sensitive or reactive skin.

  • Sea buckthorn oil and essential oils can feel stimulating for some skin types, especially if the skin barrier is already compromised.

  • While this is a gentle cleanser, pregnancy and hormonal shifts can increase skin sensitivity, so reactions can change even to products you’ve previously tolerated.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding Notes

  • 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.

  • Frankincense essential oil and sea buckthorn oil do not appear universally contraindicated, but there is limited long-term safety data for frequent topical use during pregnancy.

  • If you are in your first trimester or have highly reactive skin, you may prefer a fragrance-free or essential-oil-free cleanser as a more conservative option.
