Balancing Cleanser

This gentle, balancing cleanser is generally considered safe during pregnancy, with soothing oat, chamomile, and bamboo extracts. It does contain natural essential oils, which can sometimes increase sensitivity in pregnancy, so patch test if you have reactive skin.

✅ Gentle surfactants (sodium cocoyl isethionate, sodium lauroyl sarcosinate, cocamidopropyl betaine) are pregnancy-safe and mild.

✅ Soothing botanicals (oat kernel meal, bamboo, chamomile, allantoin, vitamin E) support skin comfort without pregnancy concerns.

⚠️ Essential oils (lavender, bitter orange) are included for scent. These are considered safe in cosmetic concentrations but can increase sensitivity in some individuals, especially during pregnancy.

❌ No retinoids, high-level acids, benzoyl peroxide, or hydroquinone present.

This cleanser is low risk for clogging pores, making it a good choice for acne-prone or combination skin. While it contains essential oils and fragrance compounds, which may irritate very sensitive users, these do not contribute to pore blockage.

This cleanser is designed to balance and soothe, making it suitable for most skin types, including combination and sensitive. While overall low risk, those with fragrance sensitivity may prefer to patch test first.
