Wake up your skin and your senses. This seaweed-infused gel cleanser effectively removes surface impurities and excess oils.

Our Ocean Cleanser is primarily made with naturally derived ingredients and we don’t use any artificial colorants in the formula. Because of this, the color can vary from batch to batch and may even shift over time - this is completely normal and doesn’t affect the quality or effectiveness of the product. Similarly, since no synthetic fragrance is used, the scent may also vary due to the natural composition!

1. Hold your product firmly to prevent it from spinning as you try to unlock the pump.
2. Locate the small white plastic circle right below the pump's neck and hold it tightly.
3. Using your other hand, turn the pump counter clockwise to unlock it. Note that you do not need to push down while you twist, as our pumps do not 'pop up' once unlocked.
4. To prime the pump, press down a few times until the product dispenses.
