"Cleansing is not a surface gesture; it is a daily reset, a way of supporting the skin as it transitions from the heat and exposure of summer into the restorative rhythm of autumn.”

- Estella, Founder and Formulator

The Cleanser was created with this philosophy at heart: to dissolve impurities while nourishing the skin with scientifically proven ingredients that restore balance.

One of The Cleanser’s hero ingredients, Camellia Oleifera Seed Oil, is rich in antioxidant polyphenols, compounds shown in dermatological studies to neutralise free radicals triggered by UV exposure. These antioxidants help reduce oxidative stress and calm inflammation, all crucial as the skin recovers from sun-soaked months. Beyond protection, its fatty acid profile replenishes hydration and helps maintain elasticity, allowing skin to feel primed for renewal.

Rice bran oil, another key component, is often referred to as a “nutrient powerhouse” for the skin. Rich in beta-carotene, lycopene, CoQ10, B vitamins, and omega-9, this oil strengthens the skin's barrier while deeply hydrating. Its natural squalene content mimics the skin’s own lipid production, reinforcing resilience and protecting against moisture loss. Oryzanol, a unique antioxidant found in rice bran oil, provides a subtle degree of UV absorption, offering an added layer of defence as days in the sun give way to cooler light. With anti-inflammatory linoleic acid, it soothes sensitivity, reduces pigmentation, improves elasticity, and restores an even, radiant tone.

The Cleanser is more than a way to remove the day’s residue. It is a regenerative ritual; the oil-to-milk texture lifts away impurities while actively fortifying the skin. Each use becomes an invitation to slow down, to realign with your own rhythm, and to prepare the complexion for deeper care.

Balance, renewal, resilience. A moment to honour The Cleanser is on its way…
