Key Actives & Benefits

Cold-pressed botanical oils including grapeseed, sunflower and others dissolve makeup, impurities and excessive oiliness without stripping the skin.

A gentle emulsifier allows the oils to rinse away without a hot cloth or second cleanse.

How to Use

Start with dry hands and massage onto dry face, concentrating on areas with makeup. Rinse away makeup and impurities.

Activist is formulated for the pickiest ingredients snob, blending a mix of organic botanicals and purified active ingredients for superior results.

  • Made with only the most essential and effective ingredients
  • Vegan friendly & cruelty free
  • Free of synthetic fragrance, synthetic color, silicones, parabens, phenoxyethanol, phthalates and over 1,000 potential toxins (more info)

Ingredients

+ -

Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil, Quillaja Saponaria Wood Extract, Glycerin, Saponaria Officinalis Extract, Citrus Grandis (Grapefruit) Peel Oil, Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Fruit Extract, Di-PPG-2 Myreth-10 Adipate, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Flower Oil, Arthrospira Platensis (Spirulina) Extract, Benzyl Alcohol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract.

Note: Just like the ocean, the color of this product will naturally change from cerulean blue to sea green in response to contact with light and air. This is because the color comes from natural spirulina extract, not artificial dyes.

Sea to Skin Cleansing Gel

A sensory experience unlike any other cleanser

This stunning blue beauty get its color from spirulina extract, a superfood rich in animo acids and nutrients. But this cleanser’s virtues go beyond its luscious looks and fresh, breezy ocean-inspired scent.

A great fit for all skin types, Sea to Skin cleanses away makeup, sunscreen, excess oil and other impurities without over-drying the skin.

Dip your fingers into the jar to scoop a small amount, then massage into the skin. You’ll notice the gel melts into an oil, which then transforms into a milky liquid when you rinse or remove with a warm, wet cloth. Your skin is left clean, soft and dewy.

Fantastic cleanser, and so nice on the skin.

I find that I need to use a little bit more of this gel than I would for a balm cleanser. But it feels really nourishing on the skin and even after you pat your face dry your skin will feel fresh.
If you have dry skin, or are super acne prone and need something gentle—this is definitely the cleanser for you.

The sent is very subtle and dissipates almost immediately. I use it usually for my first cleanse to remove make up and SPF.

Bonus points that activist Skincare has made this cleanser refillable. I also have the refill pack, and it takes up the tiniest amount of space in my “restock” shelf. Love this concept and love this brand!
