Floraesters™ K-20W (Hydrolyzed Jojoba Esters) - Barrier Active, 1%
Clinically shown to improve skin barrier function, increase hydration, reduce redness, and smooth rough dry skin. Most exfoliating cleansers compromise the barrier while they clean. Floraesters™ measurably improves it.

Australian Native Finger Lime (Lime Pearl™ AF)
A subtropical Australian citrus prized for its natural renewal activity. Works via the TRPV3 skin signaling pathway to stimulate cellular turnover without acid chemistry — gentle enough for daily use, effective enough to replace your exfoliant.

Pineapple Fruit Extract
Enzyme-rich and bromelain-powered, Pineapple Fruit Extract dissolves dead surface cells during your cleanse - leaving skin visibly smoother and more refined without any physical scrubbing.

→ If your skin feels tight, dry or stripped after cleansing - that's your barrier being compromised. Floraesters™ K-20W is clinically shown to improve barrier function and reduce redness during cleansing, leaving skin balanced rather than squeaky-clean.

→ If you're using a separate exfoliant two to three times a week - the Finger Lime and Pineapple Extract in this cleanser do that work daily and gently, so you can simplify your routine without losing results.

→ If foaming or gel cleansers have always irritated your sensitive skin - the cream-to-gel texture is sulphate free and pH-balanced, formulated specifically to cleanse without triggering redness or reactivity.

The Luminous Cleanser is Step 1 - and what you do here determines how well everything else works. A properly cleansed face means your Toner (Step 2) tones on a clean canvas, your Serum (Step 3) absorbs deeper, and your Moisturiser (Step 4) locks in more.

Use morning and night. Apply to dry skin with wet hands and let the texture transform before rinsing - that's where the exfoliation and nourishment happen. On weekly treatment nights, follow with the Dewy Duo after cleansing.

Thirty days to change your mind. If it isn't working, tell us. We'd rather sort it than have it sit in your cupboard.

Arrived damaged? Send a photo and your order number and we will have a replacement out to you. Keep the damaged one.

Do I still need to double cleanse?
Not for a normal day. If you're wearing heavy base or waterproof mascara, take that off first and let this do the actual cleanse.

Can I use it around my eyes?
Around, yes. Out of them, like anything else.

Is it pregnancy safe?
Yes.

It's fragranced. Does that matter?
Only if fragrance is specifically what your skin reacts to. The full ingredient list is in the Ingredients section on this page, so patch test if you're unsure.

How long does a bottle last?
Around a month with twice-daily use. It's one of the two you get through fastest.

How does subscribe and save work?

Skincare that doesn't cut corners

Floraesters™ K-20W 1% actively enhances moisture retention during cleansing - leaving skin more hydrated after washing, not less
Australian Native Finger Lime (Lime Pearl™ AF) delivers natural renewal via the TRPV3 pathway - no separate exfoliant required
Cream-to-gel texture transforms on contact, nourishing the skin barrier while lifting grime and makeup
Sulphate free formula preserves your skin's natural pH, so the products that follow absorb better
Pineapple Fruit Extract enzymes refine texture at a cellular level - not just surface-level cleansing

Brands you've tried before

Sulphate-based surfactants (SLS/SLES) strip the skin's natural oils, leaving it tight, reactive and overproducing sebum to compensate
Single-purpose formula - removes dirt and nothing else, requiring a separate exfoliant on top
Foaming cleansers disrupt the skin's acid mantle, slowing absorption of everything applied afterwards
Synthetic fragrance and artificial dyes sit in the formula with no skin benefit and compound sensitivity over time
No active botanicals - just surfactants and filler at trace levels that do nothing for skin health

Actives & Natural Ingredients

Australian Finger Lime (Lime Pearl™ AF) for Clearer, More Even Skin

Brightening · Gentle Renewal

Native to Australian subtropical rainforests, Finger Lime activates the TRPV3 skin signaling pathway to stimulate your skin's natural cellular renewal process — resurfacing and brightening with every cleanse. Unlike traditional AHAs, it triggers renewal without acid chemistry, making it the daily exfoliation your skin needs without the irritation it doesn't.

Pineapple Fruit Extract for Visibly Smoother Texture

Enzyme Exfoliation · Skin Smoothing

Bromelain - the active enzyme found in Pineapple - dissolves the bonds holding dead skin cells to the surface, leaving skin noticeably softer and more refined with every wash. No scrubbing required.

Floraesters™ K-20W — the Cleanser That Improves Your Barrier While It Cleans

Floraesters™ K-20W is a clinically substantiated jojoba ester shown to improve skin barrier function, increase hydration, reduce redness, and smooth dry rough skin — all during the cleansing step. Most exfoliating cleansers compromise the barrier while they clean. This one measurably improves it.
