Product Reviews by Experts


The scent is by far the most luxurious and refined of all the cleansers I’ve tested, it smells expensive, comforting and subtly grounding in a very natural way. It gave me the feeling of being in a high-end, modern apothecary. The texture is rich but not heavy and it leaves skin soft, nourished and hydrated without any irritation. My sensitive skin loved it! I also appreciate that they offer three sizes, which makes it more accessible across budgets. This was my personal favourite cleanser. Clémence is clearly walking their talk. With 87% certified organic ingredients and 100% natural formulations, they’ve put true care into ingredient sourcing. I love that they use solar energy, rainwater and run a zero-waste office. The fact that they offer a take-back program for harder-to-recycle packaging shows commitment to full-circle sustainability. Their participation in 1% for the Planet, hiring local mothers returning to work and engaging in grassroots fundraising shows a grounded, values-aligned business with real-world impact.


This gentle cleanser formulated with Camellia oil is perfect for the drier, winter months- it doesn’t strip skin of its natural oils, yet cleans away dirt and impurities with ease. I love that it works to help balance sebum levels, making it a fantastic option for all skin types! The brand’s commitment to solar-powered production, carbon-neutral shipping and a zero-waste office really stands out. I especially appreciate their TerraCycle program for hard-to-recycle packaging- it makes it so much easier to dispose of beauty waste responsibly. It also feels good to support a business that gives back through 1% for the Planet.


This cleanser has a beautiful scent and is very effective yet gentle at the same time- my skin didn’t feel dry or tight after use. The scent is calming and the bottle looks great on my bathroom shelf. I also appreciate the brand’s efforts in reducing their environmental impact via well thought out product and shipping packaging, affiliation with Terracyle and having a zero waste office.
