Double Cleansing
The gentle two-step ritual for skin that feels truly clean, never stripped.
Double cleansing is exactly what it sounds like: cleansing your skin twice, with two different products. First an oil-based step that dissolves make-up, SPF and excess sebum, then a gentle water-based cleanse that removes sweat, dead skin cells and the day itself. The result is a deep but gentle clean that never strips your skin barrier. It is the foundation of almost every effective routine, and especially worthwhile if you wear make-up or sunscreen.
Why two steps work better
Your skin collects two kinds of grime each day: oil-based (make-up, SPF, sebum) and water-based (sweat, dust, dead skin cells). One cleanser cannot remove both well without over-stripping. Oil dissolves oil, so the first step gently lifts away make-up and sunscreen. The second, water-based cleanse then clears everything that is left. Together they leave your skin thoroughly clean and calm, instead of tight and irritated.
A calming evening ritual

2. Water cleanse
Follow with the Purifying Cleanser to gently clear away everything that is left, while respecting your skin barrier.
3. Clean, fresh and calm skin

Frequently asked questions
Double cleansing means cleansing twice: first with an oil-based cleanser to dissolve make-up, SPF and sebum, then with a water-based cleanser to remove everything that is left. It gives a deep but gentle clean.
Anyone who wears make-up or SPF, or has oily or congested skin, benefits most. But because our cleansers are mild, double cleansing suits every skin type, including sensitive skin.
Always oil first, water second. Start with the Make-up Remover on dry skin, then follow with the Purifying Cleanser. Oil dissolves oil-based grime, the water cleanse clears the rest.
Once a day is enough, in the evening, especially on days you wear make-up or SPF. In the morning a single gentle cleanse is usually plenty.
Not with the right products. Harsh, foaming cleansers strip the skin, but our mild, botanical formulas clean thoroughly while keeping the skin barrier intact.
Just two: our Organic Make-up Remover for step one and our Organic Purifying Cleanser for step two. Both are 100% natural, vegan and made in the Netherlands.
