CLNSR – ZOË & HOPE

FINALIST
Best Face Cleanser for Normal Skin 2026

$38.00

CLNSR is a prebiotic-rich micellar foaming cleanser, pH-adjusted to be gentle on skin and eyes. It thoroughly removes makeup while respecting the skin barrier and microbiome. Australian native botanicals help brighten and calm as pores appear refined.

Formulated with excellent clean ingredients.
Zoe & Hope manufactures all products in-house at its Australian laboratory under internal GMP-aligned protocols, with formal GMP certification planned. All raw materials are sourced through Australian distributors with full traceability via Certificates of Analysis and Safety Data Sheets and suppliers are selected for ethical farming, cruelty-free and vegan standards. The brand is women-founded and women-led, maintains a zero-bullying policy and prioritises a safe, respectful and inclusive workplace. Ethical practice is treated as an evolving operational standard, with transparency measures including documented plans for GMP certification and expanded clinical testing.
Zoe & Hope operates from a compact Australian facility using solar-powered lighting and cooling, with production-grade water supplied by an in-line reverse osmosis system that eliminates reject waste streams. Raw materials are sourced through Australian distributors prioritising ethical, traceable, cruelty-free, vegan, RSPO-certified and upcycled ingredients, with freight consolidated to reduce air transport. Packaging uses recyclable BPA-free polypropylene and paperboard, with digital product information replacing printed inserts. Small-batch, forecast-based production and strict FIFO inventory management minimise overproduction and waste. Their future plans include transitioning to refillable packaging with post-consumer recycled materials and implementing carbon measurement.
Zoe & Hope provides monthly donations to Destiny Rescue and ZOE Australia Limited, supporting efforts to protect vulnerable children from trafficking and exploitation and is transitioning to a structured percentage-of-profit contribution model. The woman-founded, women-led business offers flexible hybrid work arrangements, supports mature-age workforce participation and is developing internship and Indigenous employment pathways. The founder delivers educational workshops and public speaking on skin biology and menopause and provides free online consultations and Q&A forums to support informed consumer decision-making.

Product Reviews by Experts


I really liked the concept of a foaming micellar with probiotics – it’s a unique idea! I also like the idea of a foaming cleanser that doesn’t strip and my skin felt balanced after using this cleanser, not dry. It’s great that this product is made in a cosmetic laboratory that adheres to GMP protocols. It’s also great to hear that the company, when considering growth, wants to give back to charitable causes.


If you love a foaming cleanser, this one is for you! It creates such a glorious foam that leaves my skin feeling thoroughly cleansed in just one wash, while remaining gentle on my sensitive eyes. The compact pump bottle is practical and travel-friendly, and the fact that it’s cruelty-free and vegan makes it even better! I’m inspired by ZOË & HOPE’s long-term commitment to making a positive difference, from supporting vulnerable children through charitable partnerships to creating opportunities through education and mentorship.


I’m not usually one for foaming cleansers but ZOË & HOPE may have converted me with their CLNSR! This light, fluffy formula is so gentle on the skin and doesn’t strip or compromise my skin barrier like others have. The result is clean, hydrated and fresh skin. The pump applicator dispenses the perfect amount of product so there is no waste. I love that all of their products are manufactured in their own facility in Australia and that they prioritise Australian-based suppliers for certified raw materials and ingredients. By keeping their production and supply chain local, this in turn supports other businesses and creates opportunities within the greater community. I am also impressed that they make their products weekly so they never produce more than they need, minimising waste. I also appreciated the beautiful handwritten note from founder Evangeline, I hope every customer gets to experience her beautiful essence and handwriting.
