Velvet Cleansing Milk
An expertly formulated non-foaming cleanser that uses a blend of olive oil-derived emulsifiers and soothing ingredients like aloe and rice bran oil. It is designed to respect the acid mantle while effectively removing grime.
Quality & Materials
Contains Rice Bran Oil (rich in antioxidants) and Matricaria Flower Extract for soothing; uses Decyl Glucoside as a gentle surfactant.
Evidence & Testing
While lacking large-scale RCTs, the formulation is based on peer-reviewed lipid barrier research and has high user success rates for barrier repair.
Brand Transparency
Exceptional transparency; the founder provides deep dives into the chemistry behind every ingredient used.
Value Assessment
Pricier than drugstore options per ounce, but the high concentration of active soothing agents justifies the cost for compromised skin.
Why Not Alternatives?
Unlike many milk cleansers that leave an oily film, this uses a specific ratio of water-soluble and oil-soluble ingredients to rinse clean while maintaining the skin's moisture barrier better than traditional gel cleansers.
