DEVELOPMENT NOTES: Everything you need in a cleanser, and nothing you don't. The development process prioritized creating a cleanser gentle enough for twice-daily cleansing without over-stripping the skin, while still cleansing effectively enough to achieve a user's desired outcome. Ingredient selection focused on those that create positive impact even with low contact time on the skin, since this is a wash-off product. One essential function, only the essential ingredients. The Essential Cleanser.
