How it works
Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter is named on the ingredient panel on this foaming cleanser. Shea Butter is the fat pressed from the shea nut, rich in oleic and stearic acids and unsaponifiable plant sterols. It is a heavy emollient and partial occlusive, which is why it sits in balms and night creams rather than in essences. On this panel it sits alongside Myristic Acid, Palmitic Acid and Lauric Acid. Myristic Acid is a saturated fatty acid used to thicken and, with a base added, to build the foam in a soap-style cleanser.

Key actives
Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter
Shea Butter is the fat pressed from the shea nut, rich in oleic and stearic acids and unsaponifiable plant sterols. It is a heavy emollient and partial occlusive, which is why it sits in balms and night creams rather than in essences.
Myristic Acid
Myristic Acid is a saturated fatty acid used to thicken and, with a base added, to build the foam in a soap-style cleanser.
Palmitic Acid
Palmitic Acid is a saturated fatty acid present in skin's own lipids. It thickens a formula, stabilises the emulsion and softens skin.
Lauric Acid
Lauric Acid is the coconut fatty acid that gives soap-style cleansers their dense foam. It is not well suited to blemish-prone skin at high levels.
Will this dry out my skin?
It is formulated to lift daily grime and makeup residue without leaving a stripped feeling for most users, though very dry skin may prefer using it once a day instead of twice.
Morning, night, or both?
Most routines use it both morning and night, following an oil or balm cleanser at night rather than relying on foam alone to remove makeup. If your skin reacts in a way that feels off, stop use and give your skin a few days to settle before trying it again.
Does it help with breakouts?
It is a cosmetic cleanser rather than a treatment product, so pair it with your existing spot care routine rather than expecting the cleanser alone to address breakouts. If your skin reacts in a way that feels off, stop use and give your skin a few days to settle before trying it again.
How much product do I need?
A coin-sized amount worked into a lather on damp skin is typical; more product does not clean better and can just feel harder to rinse. If your skin reacts in a way that feels off, stop use and give your skin a few days to settle before trying it again.
Can sensitive skin use this daily?
Many sensitive-skin users tolerate a foaming cleanser fine, but if skin feels tight after rinsing, cutting back to once a day is a reasonable adjustment rather than pushing through it.

Payment and security
We accept
How to use
- Use morning and night as the cleansing step, following an oil or balm cleanser at night rather than using it alone to remove makeup. Work a coin-sized amount into a lather on damp skin for about 30 seconds, then rinse with lukewarm water.
Worth knowing
- Very dry or sensitized skin may find a foaming cleanser too drying for twice-daily use and can scale back to once a day.
- Introduce any new product gradually rather than adding several new steps to a routine at once, so any reaction is easy to trace back to the right cause.
