Q: What is “colloidal” oatmeal?
“Colloidal” refers to a substance made up of microscopic particles that do not fully dissolve in a liquid but remain evenly distributed throughout. These particles are small enough to prevent settling in a gel-like product, unlike traditional powder forms. In the case of colloidal oatmeal, the oats are finely ground into small particles that dissolve in water, allowing the nutrients in the oats to be more easily absorbed by the skin. The process of making colloidal oatmeal involves boiling the oats in water and then finely grinding them to create a mixture of tiny particles that provide soothing and hydrating effects on the skin.

Q: Does the product have a fragrance?
The product is fragrance-free, but it has a natural, mild oatmeal scent that is not overpowering. This scent comes from the colloidal oatmeal and provides a pleasant and soothing experience during use.

Q: Can I use this cleanser on sensitive skin?
Yes! The formula has undergone rigorous clinical skin compatibility testing on sensitive skin subjects, proving it to be safe for even the most delicate skin. The fragrance-free, alcohol-free, and sulfate-free ingredients cleanse gently without causing irritation or dryness.

Q: Why is it important that this product is sulfate-free?
Sulfates can strip the skin of its natural oils, leading to dryness and irritation, especially for sensitive skin. The sulfate-free formula cleanses gently without disrupting the skin’s natural balance, ensuring a soft and hydrated feel after use.

Q: What skin types is this cleanser suitable for?
This gentle facial cleanser is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. Its formula helps to nourish and soothe the skin while removing impurities, leaving a fresh, clean feeling.

Q: What is the difference between a water-based cleanser and the two steps in a double cleansing routine?
This cleanser works perfectly as a one-step facial cleanser if you don’t wear waterproof makeup or sunscreen. However, if you use long-lasting makeup or sunscreen, it is ideal as the second step in a double cleansing routine, after using our Centella Cleansing Balm.
