Lactic Acid Cleanser - Clarity Cleanse Gentle Exfoliating Wash

Lactic Acid Cleanser - Clarity Cleanse. Gentle. Balancing. Barrier-First. The Cleanser Your Skin Has Been Waiting For.

Just $0.54/day — less than a K-Cup for 90 days of gentle, effective cleansing. Compare that to $60–100 luxury cleansers loaded with harsh sulfates.

Biological skincare built on the ETHYST® Standard and CertClean® Certified — barrier-first, microbiome-conscious, and endocrine-safe.

Clarity Cleanse™ is a creamy, microbiome-friendly cleanser that resets your skin with lactic acid, Vitamin C, and oat amino acids. Formulated with safflower seed oil and soothing oat extracts, it gently exfoliates while calming irritation and supporting barrier health. The result: skin that feels clean, calm, and radiant — never tight or stripped.

Why It Works

• Non-foaming, non-stripping formula protects your skin barrier — oat amino acids
• Calms irritation and softens skin — colloidal oat + safflower oil
• Gently resurfaces and balances pH — lactic acid
• Brightens and evens tone — stabilized Vitamin C (Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate) + Vitamin E
• Rooted in microbiome science and the ETHYST® Standard  of Clean Beauty
• 100× cleaner than the U.S. legal minimum — surpasses Sephora, ULTA, and Credo
