RELEASE - Dual-Phase Resurfacing Cleanser

RELEASE - Dual-Phase Resurfacing Cleanser

$72.00

A milky, dual-phase cleanser (bioactive lipids + plants' cellular extracts) that lifts SPF, makeup and impurities while gently resurfacing – leaving skin clean, comfortable and never tight.

Papain enzyme pairs with fruit-derived AHAs and willow bark (salicin) to soften the look of roughness and help pores appear clearer, while antioxidant botanicals (elderflower, calendula, blue tansy, blue cypress) keep the cleanser calm. Jojoba esters dissolve impurities and the low-foam rinse respects skin’s own lipids, so skin feels smooth and comfortable after every wash.

Rooted in circadian science and cyclical wisdom, Release is your reset step: a light refresh in the morning (when needed) and a thorough cleanse at night to prepare skin for renewal.

Circadian Phase: Day/Night - Purify & Prep. Formulated to support daytime defence (fresh base for serum, oil, SPF) and night repair (clean canvas for Replenish + Retreat).

Variant

Ingredient Research

Papaya Fruit Extract (Papain) — a proteolytic enzyme that helps loosen dull surface cells for a smoother-looking finish.

Black Willow Bark (Salix nigra) — a botanical source of salicin (a BHA precursor) that gently refines the look of congestion and texture without a stripped feel.

Finger Lime Caviar — naturally citric-rich fruit acids to support a brighter, more even-looking tone and a soft, refreshed feel.

Soapberry — natural saponins for mild cleansing that respects the skin’s surface.

Elderflower & Calendula CO₂ — comfort-forward botanicals selected to keep the cleanse feeling calm and balanced.

Jojoba Oil — skin-compatible esters that dissolve makeup/SPF and rinse clean while helping maintain lipid balance.

Blue Tansy & Australian Blue Cypress — provide the soft herb-woody aroma and signature blue tint (naturally occurring azulenes). Traditionally used for their calming character; chosen here to help the cleanse feel soothing and unhurried, while lending antioxidant support alongside the rest of the blend.

“I am loving the products by the way. My skin was looking awful around Christmas from wearing heavy makeup in shoots all the time, but it's fully cleared up now and is looking amazing!"

— Caitlin Foley

How to use

Shake to activate the dual-phase emulsion. Dispense 2–3 pumps into damp hands (dry skin if removing makeup/SPF). Cover your face in a warm, wet face cloth (or use a disposable cotton pad) and gently wipe until clean.

Day (2–4 minutes)

Light start (normal–dry/sensitive, low pollution): Water rinse → Replenish (serum) → Shield (face oil) → SPF.

When you need a refresh (oily/combination, post-workout, humid/polluted): Release (cleanse) → Replenish → Shield → SPF.

Night (2–4 minutes)

Release (cleanse) → Replenish (serum) → Retreat (face oil).

Your Ritual

Take a conscious slow, deep breath and use this opportunity to RELEASE what no longer serves you, and reconnect to yourself. Let the water carry it away. Add a warm cloth, a quiet candle, and the affirmation on your box to mark the moment. If it’s morning, finish with one bright inhale. You can always trace Morning Glory on your wrists; if it’s night, trace By the Woods on your wrists and make your exhale a little longer.

A ritual reset

enzymes + fruit AHAs + calming botanicals for a clean, cushioned cleanse

Blue Tansy & Blue Cypress oils

Provide the formula’s soft herb-woody aroma and signature blue tint (naturally occurring azulenes). Chosen to help the cleanse feel soothing and unhurried, while lending antioxidant support alongside the rest of the blend. (No synthetic fragrance.)

Papaya (Papain enzyme)

A naturally derived proteolytic enzyme that helps loosen and lift dull surface cells, so skin feels smoother after rinsing. Works gently during your cleanse (no sting, no leave-on step), supporting a softer, more refined look over time.

Black Willow Bark (salicin)

A botanical source of salicin (a BHA precursor) used to refine the look of congestion and uneven texture while you wash. Chosen for its low-drama, daily approach to clarity that doesn’t leave skin feeling stripped.

Finger Lime Caviar (fruit acids)

Rich in naturally occurring citric-family fruit acids that support a brighter, more even-looking tone. Adds a whisper of gentle resurfacing to the cleanse step, so skin feels fresh and ready for what follows.

Elderflower & Calendula CO₂

Comfort-forward botanicals selected to help the cleanse feel calm and balanced. They round out the formula so skin is left clean, not tight: an easy fit for day-to-day use.

Jojoba oil

Skin-compatible liquid wax esters that dissolve sunscreen, makeup and daily build-up with ease. Emulsifies and rinses clean to respect the skin’s lipid balance and keep the finish cushioned, never greasy.

Customer Love

Finally a cleanser that doesn’t make my face feel tight. It takes off my mineral SPF without that dry feel. I’ll keep using it to see if it also brightens my complexion. But so far, it’s great.

— Alana T.

I used to skip cleansing in the morning, but one quick shake and a short wash on humid days keeps me from getting shiny by noon. I truly love this cleanser.

— Renata K.

It’s very handy to remove my makeup and it doesn’t leave my skin feeling dry. My cheeks look smoother and my skin feels calm after.

— Jo P.
