🎯 Why Choose This Product
- If you have oily or combination skin and your T-zone tends to get shiny, this cleanser is targeted to help mattify without over-drying.
- The natural-origin input and vegan claim may appeal if you prefer “cleaner” cosmetics.
- Sustainable sourcing of the seaweed active and recyclable packaging are added positives if eco-features matter to you.
⚠️ Considerations
- Even though it is formulated for oily/combination skin, any product with surfactants (like SLS) may potentially cause dryness or irritation for more sensitive skin.
- “93% natural-origin” doesn’t mean all ingredients are natural — there are still conventional ones (e.g., parabens/phenoxyethanol or synthetics) so if you’re aiming for 100% natural or minimal additives, you might want to check the full ingredient list.
- As with any new skincare product, it’s wise to patch test first especially if you have sensitive or reactive skin.
