Purifying Cleansing Foam

About the product

Intensive cleansing is the basis for beautiful skin! But intensive should not mean aggressive. Our Cactus Cleansing Foam profoundly cleanses your skin of dirt and impurities without attacking it. The nourishing active ingredients of prickly pear seed oil and argan oil moisturize your skin while washing. In addition, grapefruit and cactus flower extracts improve your skin's elasticity and give it a silky glow.

The oils are non-comedogenic, which is why the wash gel is also effective for oily skin. As a result, your skin feels fresh and is optimally prepared for further care.

The story behind the product

We believe that nature provides the best active ingredients for your skin. That's why our products are 100% natural. We are constantly searching for the best active ingredients for individual skin needs. With our cleaning and care products of the Cactus series, our goal was to create suitable products for almost every skin type and protect your skin from premature ageing and external influences such as sun rays. In doing so, we came across the prickly pear. The prickly pear not only has wonderful properties for skincare but is also very sustainable. It grows in the most challenging conditions and needs very little water. This allows us to combine our goal of optimal natural skincare with a high level of sustainability.

What makes me unique

I cleanse your skin deep into the pores and moisturize it at the same time. As a result, your skin is in a perfect balance after the application.

Prickly pear seed oil & cactus flower water

We are both extracted from the prickly pear cactus and its flowers. We ensure that your skin is hydrated throughout the day. Moreover, we also help your skin better retain its own moisture. With the many vitamins and botanicals contained in the oil, an antioxidant effect is created that can prevent your skin from premature wrinkles.

Grapefruit Extract

Obtained from the seeds of grapefruit, I make your skin velvety and soft. I also have an inhibitory effect on bacteria and thus help against blemished skin.

Argan oil

I contain a lot of antioxidants, essential fatty acids and vitamin E. Thus, I act as a moisturizer even for very dehydrated skin and protect your skin from harmful environmental influences.

APPLICATION

Moisten your face with lukewarm water and massage me in with gentle, circular movements. Then wash me off with lukewarm water. The water should never be too hot when washing your face; otherwise, it will harm your skin. You can use me in the evening and in the morning.
