Crafted in Aotearoa under the Bio Whenua banner, the Cleanser – Gentle & Balanced is a profoundly nurturing, botanical-rich face wash designed to purify the skin while actively supporting its delicate moisture barrier. At the heart of this formulation lies a base of organic New Zealand Manuka Hydrosol—a natural water derived from pure essential oil distillation that imparts mildly astringent and antibacterial properties—synergistically paired with soothing Aloe Vera. This pristine foundation is expertly infused with Native Kawakawa extract, a revered botanical in traditional Māori practices (Te Rongoā) known for its exceptional anti-inflammatory properties, which help to gently cleanse and calm irritated skin.

To further elevate this restorative cleanse, a nutrient-dense medley of Kiwi Fruit, Blackberry, and Strawberry extracts provides a surge of potent antioxidants that leave the complexion feeling refreshed and glowing. Beautifully scented with the calming, uplifting essential oils of pure Ylang Ylang and Mandarin, this formulation effectively clears impurities and helps regulate oil production without stripping the skin. Formulated with a carefully balanced pH of 4.9, it is an exquisite, highly functional daily cleanser that brings both relief to acne-prone skin and deep comfort to sensitive, everyday profiles.
