Key ingredients
- Alpha-glucan oligosaccharide: ELEMIS says this prebiotic helps maintain a healthy balance in the skin microbiome.
- Broccoli seed oil, avocado oil, and pumpkin seed oil: The official page describes these as nutrient-rich oils that support the skin barrier and leave the complexion looking fresh.
- Nettle extract: ELEMIS says nettle is a gentle astringent with anti-inflammatory properties that helps refine the look of skin.
How to use
Massage a small amount onto damp skin and rinse thoroughly. ELEMIS presents it as a daily cleanser for morning and evening use.
Who should be careful
This formula includes fragrance and plant oils, so people sensitive to fragrance or rich botanical oils may want to patch test first. This is general product information, not medical advice.
