Two actives. Thirteen ingredients in all.

A wash, not a ritual you have to perform.

Betaine-rich and gentle enough for every day, it lathers into something closer to velvet than to foam and rinses clean without that tight, stripped finish. The work is done before you have thought about it.

What stays behind is the scent. Sharp ginger warmed by smoky cardamom — a spice trail that sits on skin for hours after the water is off. It is the only part of this product that asks for your attention, and it asks late.

What it does

  • Smoothing, hydrating cleanse for hands and body
  • Betaine keeps skin from feeling stripped
  • Velvet lather, rinses clean
  • Ginger and smoky cardamom scent that lasts

What is in it

Betaine

Sugar-beet humectant. Draws in moisture and takes the edge off surfactants, which is why a wash built on it rinses without that tight, squeaky finish.

Coco-glucoside

Sugar-and-coconut derived surfactant. Does the washing without the harshness that makes a daily wash a bad idea.

Sodium cocoamphoacetate

The mild amphoteric that softens the whole surfactant system — why this lathers like velvet instead of stripping.

Quince fruit extract

Organic. Mild conditioning for hair and skin washed in the same motion.

How to use

Apply to damp skin. Lather. Rinse thoroughly. That is the whole ritual.

Ginger does the waking up; the cardamom keeps it from being cheerful about it. Betaine base, so it lathers without stripping — you want the skin open for what comes next, not scoured. Start here even if you're tempted to start with the scrub.
