The ideal fusion of pH modulators and micronutrients that boost the protective acid-mantle and strengthen barrier function, making skin more resilient.

• Plant Peptides derived from organic botanicals and humectant plant glycoproteins that create a mild, skin-friendly cleansing system with light, yet ample lather to efficiently rinse and dislodge debris, grime, excess oils, harmful bacteria, pollution, sweat, and other impurities. Their cell-communicating abilities heal, repair and renew skin. Enhances absorption of bio-actives into skin cells.

• Hybridized Fruit Enzymes derived from Papaya, Cranberry and Pineapple are effective at dissolving away surface impurities, dead skin cells, and the film of accumulated debris at the end of a long day, and expelled waste produced overnight. Naturally gentle for daily use and clinically proven to effectively resurface skin, brighten complexion and reverse the skin aging process by promoting cell turnover and introducing repairing and hydrating action through modulating collagen & elastin fibers in the dermis. It's particularly beneficial in our cleansing step as an environmental phyto-protective that reverses damage from undue sun exposure, smoke, and pollution.

• Red Marine Algae - a deeply restorative and rejuvenating active that also works to bring moisture into the skin for a fresh, plumped complexion post-cleanse. Our Algae also works to disintegrate the layer of accumulated biofilm that forms on the skin over time composed of pollutants, impurities, sweat, and toxins.

• Reishi a powerful anti-aging adaptogen revered in Traditional Chinese Medicine that enhances cell energy levels and helps calm irritation. This mega-nutrient mushroom contains over 400 bio-compounds beneficial for skin health and is made from a high concentration of polysaccharides, the plant hyaluronic acid molecule responsible for drawing hydration and enhancing skin's ability to bind moisture. A fine molecular structure primes reishi actives to penetrate deep into the skin during the cleansing process for maximizing skin's defenses against aging, and recalibrate from irritation and fatigue.

It has a fuller gel emulsion texture that feels luxurious. A serum-as-a-cleanser

Gentlerist also incorporated new peptides in here that work best when skin is most receptive, which happens to be during the cleansing ritual.
