  4. Use morning and night

1 pod makes 140 ml of cleanser

*All kits include 1 cleanser bottle

Yes! It's great for normal and sensitive skin because it contains gentle surfactants - below a 3 on the EWG toxicity scale - ceramides, to protect the skins barrier and glycerin, which draws oil out while keeping moisture in, this allows it to deeply cleanse pores and remove makeup without drying or irritating your skin. Check out our reviews and testimonial videos for more on this.

Our use of ceramides and gentle cleansers will help to clean pores without irritating the skin, and likely for this reason, we have had several customers who have said it helps with acne prone skin, but we did not develop it as an acne fighting cleanser.

Actually, it removes makeup extremely well - check out our videos to see how it even removes heavily layered 'drag makeup ' - without drying out the skin.

Make sure you use potable, drinking water and add the water first to a clean dispenser, and then mix the cleanser from the Chrysalis into the drinking water.Like all cleansers, we use chelating ingredients to preserve and decrease the reactivity of metal ions that may be present in the water and product ingredients.We use Tetrasodium EDTA as our primary chelating ingredient, which is a 1 - 2 on the EWG toxicity scale when used in a cleanser. We also use Phenoxyethanol, which is a commonly used preservative in skin care products that is to prevent microbial growth.We have run numerous tests, and so long as you use drinking water (tap or filtered) it should work as any other cleanser.

Yes, it is a light gel. If you'd like it to be thinner, use 105ml of water and if you'd like it to be thicker, use 95ml of water. Adding a little less or more water will not impact performance in any way, so in other words, you don't have to measure perfectly.

Not at all. It does not need to be perfect to work 'perfectly'! If you add a little less water than required, it will be a thicker gel, and if you add a little more water, it will be a thinner gel. MAKE SURE YOU ADD THE WATER FIRST, THEN THE CLEANSING AGENTS TO THE WATER.

Yes! It has an average amount of suds and foam - not too little, not too much.

Simply add 100 ml of potable drinking water to a clean dispenser (our dispenser has a fill line marked on the side of the bottle), then snip and pour the concentrate into the water and give it a gentle shake by tipping the bottle upside down and right side up 5 - 10 times. For best results, let it sit for 20min before use. Bubbles will form after you shake it and then settle within an hour.

Simply rinse out the pod, break it up and put in either a backyard compost or dirt. 1 pod can also be placed in a countertop composter such as the LOMI, and because it is made of natural waxes, oils and resins, it could really be disposed of anywhere without leaving a harmful trace. It will typically take 3 - 6 months to decompose in a natural compost pile with a good microbe mix.

Yes! Our cleanser is plastic-free, and so is the packaging it comes in!

Yes! Our cleanser is Phtalate free!

How We Compare

Natural Science Meets Gentle Chemistry to Cleanse without Drying or Irritating

Our cleanser was developed with a cosmetic chemist, micro biologist and industrial chemist. The intent was to develop something that was strong enough to remove make-up and clear pores, while providing PH balanced reinforcements to maintain and uphold your natural moisture barrier. In other words, it'll cleanse without leaving your skin dry or irritated. That means it's good for sensitive, combination and normal skin.

Deep Dive on Ingredients

every ingredient explained and ranked

cleanser ingredient summary

Our cleanser (and all etee products) are developed with EWG's skin deep® rating system in mind. The hazard score, from 1 to 10, reflects known and suspected health hazards linked to the ingredients. Our goal is to use only low hazard (1 -2) ingredients. In some instances we may use ingredients that range from a 1 - 4 because - for example - some ingredients are a 1 or 2 if rinsed off the skin (as is the case with some cleansing agents), but a 4 if left on the skin. The rating system works as follows.

Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate

This surfactant helps to cleanse the skin by removing dirt, oil, and impurities, creating lather and enhancing the foaming action of the cleanser.

Cocamidopropyl Betaine

A mild surfactant derived from coconut oil, it contributes to the cleansing and foaming properties of the facial cleanser. NOTE: this agent could be considered a 1-2 when used as a cleanser because it's meant to be rinsed off, but higher if left on the skin.

Sodium Lauroyl Methyl Isethionate

Another gentle surfactant that aids in cleansing and foaming while maintaining a mild and non-irritating formula.

Sodium Chloride

Common table salt, used as a thickening agent and to adjust the viscosity of the cleanser.

Glycerin

A moisturizing ingredient that helps to hydrate and soothe the skin, leaving it soft and supple.

Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Extract

Cucumber extract contains antioxidants and has soothing properties known to calm and refresh the skin.

Lycium Barbarum (Goji Berry) Extract

If free radicals are robbing you of your 'youth', then the antioxidant carotenoids in Goji Berries could help 'neutralize' these intruders while also BRIGHTENING the skin.

Citrus Medica Limonum (Lemon) Extract

Lemon extract can offer brightening and clarifying effects due to its natural acidity, in some instances it can be irritating to sensitive skin, but the quantities and fact that it's rinsed off will eliminate those concerns.

Panax (Ginseng) Root Extract

Ginseng extract is known for its revitalizing and toning properties, helping to invigorate the skin.

Taraxacum Officinale (Dandelion) Extract

Dandelion extract is often used for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, contributing to a soothing and calming effect on the skin. And some even claim it's good to treat acne because it detoxifies, clears pores and prevents breakouts.

Ceramide 1, 2, 3, & 6 II

Ceramides are natural lipids found in the skin that help to strengthen and restore the skin barrier, improving moisture retention and overall skin health.

Butylene Glycol

Butylene Glycol is a commonly used humectant ( barrier on the skin that retains moisture) that helps to maintain moisture balance in the skin and enhance the absorption of other beneficial ingredients.

Hydrogenated Lecithin

Lecithin is a natural emulsifier that helps to stabilize the cleanser's formula and maintain the integrity of the product.

Caprylic/Capric Glycerides Polyglycerin -10 Esters

A combination of caprylic/capric triglycerides (derived from coconut oil) and polyglycerin-10 esters (emulsifiers) to improve the texture and stability of the cleanser.

Caprylic/Capric Glycerides Polyglycerin -10 Esters

A combination of caprylic/capric triglycerides (derived from coconut oil) and polyglycerin-10 esters (emulsifiers) to improve the texture and stability of the cleanser.

Pentylene Glycol

A humectant and preservative that helps to prevent moisture loss and maintain the product's freshness.

Aloe Barbadensis (Aloe Vera) Leaf Extract

Aloe vera extract is well-known for its soothing and hydrating properties, making it beneficial for sensitive and dry skin.

Tocopherol (Vitamin E)

Vitamin E is a potent antioxidant that can help protect the skin from free radical damage and promote overall skin health.

Phenoxyethanol

Phenoxyethanol is a preservative commonly used in skincare products to prevent microbial growth. NOTE: this can be higher than 2 if used on lips or used in spray products that can be inhaled.

Tetrasodium EDTA

Tetrasodium EDTA is a chelating agent, used to sequester and decrease the reactivity of metal ions that may be present in a product. This means it's good for mixing with 'hard' tap drinking water.

Sodium Hydroxide

Sodium hydroxide is used to adjust the pH level of the cleanser, but it can be a strong irritant and should be handled with care.
NOTE: When used in a cleanser, this ingredient is low (1 - 2) when used in other instances it is higher (3+).

Follow the Instructions

At first, I was disappointed because it wasn't lathering up, but then I realized that I needed to splash water on my face first to get a nice lather. I have very sensitive skin, and so far it seems gentle enough for me.

I owe Steve an apology!

I’ve been with etee since the beginning and Steve will tell you I give honest reviews whether good or bad.
I have to be honest, I had very little faith that this was going to be a good face wash for me. Well, here is the apology. Steve, I LOVE IT! It’s so gentle, light, silky, and IT WORKS! I should have had more faith. It’s an essential now!

Thanks Rohahiio!! This is so kind. We're so happy to hear that your faith has been restored :)

Love it!

I really enjoy this product. It's a relief to do away with plastic face wash bottles. The pump is well-designed and doesn't leak product. The cleanser does smell faintly earthy, which is a downside to me but doesn't last on the skin (great for people who are fragrance-sensitive). I've been especially impressed with the formula and how well it works for my combination skin: it leaves my skin feeling soft and clean without being overly dry. I'm a fan and can't wait to get my first refill!

Works well

I was impressed how it mixed well and I love the packaging- I generally prefer a cream- but to keep things plastic free I can use a gel - it is a little more drying than my previous one so I am using it once a day- if you have oily, combination or younger skin I don't think this would be an issue- it is gentle.

Works great!

The face wash works great! Doesn't seem to be drying while still cleansing. I purchased soap from this company ages ago and the capsules weren't perfected yet, but all the capsules I purchased (face wash and soap) were in perfect condition so give it a try if you haven't (or had an didn't have the best luck!)

Love this face cleanser

Great product a very tiny bit gets your face clean with a foamy texture and works well! Love the no plastic containers

Love it! My Sensitive Oily Skin Approves.

I bought the face wash, serum, and no SPF moisturizer in a flurry of “I need to get rid of plastic in my life” and I’ve been curious about this brand for a while. I had low expectations and was expecting to break out because I have quite difficult skin. Recently I overcame years of low vitamin D and my acne got a million times better but small zits were still present. Since using these products, I don’t feel at war with my acne and my skin feels healthy and hydrated without being over-oily. Amazing product with an amazing company purpose. If you’re curious about it, just TRY it once.

2nd review

I had a couple issues with the first couple algae containers. I told customer support, not for a refund, but just to let them know. Twice with this company I’ve had some of the best customer service ever. I decided to buy a refill and haven’t had any issues since. Great company. Also, the face wash is great

Great product for sensative skin

This cleanser does the job! It removes all of my makeup and cleans my skin without drying it out. Now it is summer, and winter will be the real test, as I have sandpaper skin. The packaging is a quality bottle that I will be happy to reuse for years to come. Side note - I did NOT like that I was asked to write a review the day I received it. It took me a couple of weeks to finish what produce I had been using prior, and even if I had used it, I would want to wait a few days to make certain there was no rash/reaction before leaving an honest review.

great product

I have tried several 'earth friendly' facial cleansers and this is my favorite. It cleans really well and leaves my skin feeling soft
