Product Qs
Q: What can Skin Wash be used for?
Answer
Skin Wash is a facial skincare-grade cleanser for your entire body. It can function as a makeup remover, face cleanser, body wash, shaving gel, bubble bath, hand soap, or any other type of skin cleansing.
What is the pH of Skin Wash and why does that matter?
Answer
Skin Wash has a slightly acidic pH of 5. Most body wash formulas and soaps are alkaline, with pH around 8-10, which can be drying, irritating, and harm our skin’s delicate microbiome. Your skin’s natural pH is slightly acidic at 5.5 due to its delicate outer “acid mantle”, which maintains the skin’s barrier function and helps retain moisture.
Q: Is Skin Wash for all skin types?
Answer
Skin Wash was formulated to suit a wide range of skin types. Our signature formula includes a natural fragrance that is clean by most retailer standards, so if you are allergic to fragrance, please stay tuned for our fragrance-free Skin Wash.
Q: Is your bio-based recyclable pouch also compostable?
Answer
No it is not compostable. Our pouches are made from plants that have a naturally carbon negative production footprint but are monomaterial (made from one polymer) and designed to be recycled.
Q: How do I recycle the Skin Wash pouch?
Answer
Our biobased, mono-material (made using only one type of polymer) pouch is recyclable in either dedicated PE streams (#4) or via in store collection systems like Red-Cycle.
Q: How long does one pouch of Skin Wash last?
Answer
32 ounces should last one person about 2 months, using it as their face, body and hand soap. We recommend using the product 12 months after opening.
Q: How do I refill an existing bottle with Skin Wash?
Answer
We recommend cleaning a previously used skincare product bottle with dish soap and warm water. Mist with isopropyl alcohol, and allow to dry fully. Then simply refill with Skin Wash from the pouch’s resealable spout.
Our preservative system is gentle and designed to be non-irritating, yet strong enough to withstand being put into new components.
