the opening

most cleansers strip: the skin tightens, and a moisturiser is reached for to put back what the washing took. dissolve is made not to.

it begins as an oil on dry skin — sunscreen, sebum, the day’s weight — and a splash of water turns it to a milk. rinse, and the skin is clean without being pulled.

one cleanser for both ends of the day, in place of the oil, the balm and the micellar. morning and evening.

what it replaces

what leaves the shelf.

the micellar water kept out of habit. the cleansing balm. the makeup remover in the drawer. one cleanser instead.

the formulation

about dissolve.

oil meets water. what remains is clean skin.

dissolve is an oil-to-milk cleanser. applied to dry skin, it lifts makeup, mineral spf and the day; a little water turns it to a milk, and it rinses away without stripping.

chamomile, sea buckthorn and cloudberry sit alongside organic sunflower oil. what you smell is listed as Parfum, its allergens named beside it.

morning and evening. this is where the practice begins.

the ingredients

what's inside.

open any ingredient to read its part.

who this is not for

not for everyone.

if you want foam and squeak, dissolve will disappoint — sugar-derived surfactants clean without either.

if cleansing must take ten seconds at a basin, the warm cloth will feel like ceremony you didn’t order.

and if your skin is in medical territory — eczema, psoriasis, a diagnosed condition — a pharmacist or gp will serve you better than we can. we'd rather you were served well.

nothing comes back

if it isn’t right, it’s refunded.

within 30 days of arrival: a full refund, to the card that paid — and what you bought stays with you. keep it, or pass it on. nothing comes back. the refund policy →
