Living Nature Purifying Cleanser — A Certified Natural Gel Cleanser That Balances Oily and Combination Skin Without Compromise
Excess oil, congestion, and imbalance call for a cleanser that purifies without stripping — and this New Zealand-crafted gel answers that need precisely. Infused with the antibacterial potency of Active Manuka Honey and Manuka Extract alongside the traditional cleansing power of native Kumerahou, it lifts impurities with a light, satisfying lather that leaves skin feeling genuinely clean, not tight or compromised. The result is a clear, balanced complexion that feels cared for — a ritual grounded in the purity of Aotearoa’s natural landscape.
| Ingredient | INCI Name | Concentration | Function | Skin Benefit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Active Manuka Honey | Leptospermum Scoparium (Manuka) Honey | High | Humectant / Antimicrobial | Draws moisture into skin while inhibiting blemish-causing bacteria via hydrogen peroxide and methylglyoxal activity |
| Manuka Extract | Leptospermum Scoparium Leaf/Branch Extract | Mid | Antioxidant / Soothing Agent | Calms post-cleanse sensitivity, protects against environmental oxidative stress |
| Kumerahou | Pomaderris Kumerahou Leaf Extract | Mid | Natural Saponin-Based Surfactant / Purifying Agent | Generates gentle lather to dissolve surface impurities and excess sebum without disrupting the skin barrier |
Kumerahou — a native New Zealand plant long used by Māori — contains natural saponins that act as mild surfactants, emulsifying excess sebum and surface debris without the harshness of synthetic detergents, making it well-suited to oily and combination skin types. Active Manuka Honey contributes low-level antimicrobial action through its unique methylglyoxal (MGO) content, targeting the microbial environment that contributes to congestion and breakouts, while simultaneously functioning as a humectant to preserve moisture balance through the cleanse. Manuka Extract layers in antioxidant and anti-inflammatory support, helping to keep the skin calm and resilient at the point of cleansing — the moment when the barrier is most exposed. Together, these three botanicals deliver a purifying action that is both effective and deeply respectful of the skin’s natural equilibrium.
