Product Reviews by Experts


What I loved about this cleanser is how simple but effective it is. It gave my skin a really nice clean without that tight, squeaky feeling. Super gentle, smells fresh and just feels like something I’d happily use every day. I really loved how much thought has gone into every part of their process. The ingredients are ethically sourced, the supply chain is transparent and everything feels super values-driven. I’m especially into the refillable glass bottles and TerraCycle partnership it’s clear they’re serious about reducing waste, not just talking about it! Also the fact that it’s all made locally in NZ with cruelty-free practices? Love that!


I like that it cleanses well and doesn’t dry my skin or leave a film behind. The ingredient list is great! I like that they focus on ingredient transparency and ethically source ingredients. I also appreciated the brands charity initiatives.


I appreciated the way it lathered up and didn’t strip my skin. I am also impressed by the brand’s use of ingredients and that it is non-drying!
