Barrier Balancing Cleanser
$30.00
SKU: 54354
Just like nature, skin’s harmony is made through balance. This decongesting face wash cleanser deeply detoxifies without disrupting your skin’s barrier. Many cleansers work like antibiotics: they remove the bad stuff and the good, often leaving your skin stripped, sensitive, and vulnerable.
This cleanser is designed to support your skin’s barrier while still doing the dirty work: removing SPF, sweat, pollution, and grime — BUT without stripping or clogging. Leveraging a unique blend of prebiotics and oils, this formula works to improve skin barrier function while protecting against free radicals.
“As a scientist deeply committed to advancing skin health, we developed this cleanser to protect what matters most: your skin barrier and microbiome. It features a unique surfactant system that lifts away sunscreen and makeup without stripping the skin. A caring blend of squalane, oat, and grapeseed oils nourishes as it cleanses, while bio-ferments help support skin balance. Most importantly, it’s completely free from fragrance and preservatives, making it safe even for the most sensitive skin.”
— Dr. Elsa Jungman

Working with and cofounded by age-defying biohacker, surfing legend, and passionate ocean conservationist Kelly Slater, the products were engineered for the outdoor athlete and inspired by Mother Nature. Freaks of Nature uses nature as their inspiration and collaborates with best-in-class partners to biosynthesize high-performing ingredients to create the ultimate products for the active consumer, including bio-fabricated Squalane, B-Silk and a postbiotic bacillus ferment. These ingredients help to increase bacterial diversity and improve the skin barrier function - both vital factors for a healthy skin microbiome. Additionally, all packaging is consciously designed. Freaks of Nature created the first airless pump with 100% upcycled, ocean-bound plastic in collaboration with Oceanworks, a plastic action platform providing chain-of-custody assurance and material traceability.
