Why It’s Special

The un-cream cleanser

We wanted our cream cleanser to be different: light, silky, and easy-rinsing, without any greasiness. This delicate milky liquid cleanses thoroughly and rinses effortlessly, for comfortable, renewed skin.

Hydrates with every wash

Dry skin types, look no further. This is our most hydrating cleanser, with natural ingredients like Marshmallow Root, which help skin retain moisture for soft, supple skin.

Gently renewing

Enzymes from Mucor Miehei Extract break down dead skin cells to effectively exfoliate without any harsh astringents or physical scrubbing. It’s the satisfying exfoliation you crave, just gentler.

Easy on all skin

Acne, redness, and sensitivity call for a calming cleanser. This soothing formula delivers all the benefits of a good daily wash, without stripping your skin of moisture.

Refreshingly different

Nothing to hide here. Just naturally awesome ingredients that help you achieve your healthiest, happiest skin.

    • We recommend massaging into dry skin before gently wiping away with a damp towelette; for an extra touch of exfoliation, leave on for 30-60 seconds before removing.

    Q: Should I use Milky Cleanser or Fantastic Face Wash? Which cleanser is right for my skin type?
    A: Nourishing relief for those with sensitive and dry skin, Making Moves Milky Cleanser offers a gentle cleanse without sacrificing that “full-on clean” feel. Also a winner for those with normal skin who simply crave a gentler touch. If you have combination or oily skin, you may benefit from our Fantastic Face Wash.


    Q: How often should I use it?
    A: We like using it twice a day, in the AM and PM (or just once if you only wash your face once a day) to reveal soft and smooth skin.


    Q: How do I recycle this product?
    A: You can recycle the carton and the bottle (after giving it a quick rinse). The pump is not widely recyclable at this time. 


    Q: What is the aroma?
    A: A light, uplifting hit of ginger and bergamot.

      squeaky clean, not dry!

      At the end of the day, this cleanser gets everything off - make-up, sunscreen, without any effort, and leaves my skin feeling refreshed, not at all dry.

      Just feel clean

      No offensive smell. Texture feels perfect. Just feel queen as I go about my day. Perfect primer for moisturizer.
