Cleansing is a crucial step in any skincare routine, but it can also impact your skin’s natural pH balance. Healthy skin typically has a slightly acidic pH—around 4.5 to 5.5—which helps protect the skin barrier, support a healthy microbiome, and prevent moisture loss.
Many cleansers, especially foaming ones with strong surfactants, are more alkaline and can raise the skin’s pH temporarily. This shift can leave skin feeling dry, tight, or more vulnerable to irritation and environmental stress.
That’s why we formulated the Regelica Water Lily pH-Balanced Gentle Cleanser to be pH-balanced and SLS-free. It respects your skin’s natural acidity while effectively removing makeup, sunscreen, and impurities—without stripping or disrupting the barrier.

Water is essential for cleansing, but it can also disrupt your skin’s
natural balance if you’re not careful.

Here’s what to keep in mind:

• Tap water is often slightly alkaline, while healthy skin’s natural pH is mildly acidic (around 4.5–5.5). This shift—especially when combined with foaming cleansers—can weaken your skin barrier and cause dryness or irritation.
  
• Hot water can strip away natural oils and increase sensitivity. Use lukewarm water instead—it’s gentler and less disruptive to your skin.
  
• If you have very sensitive or dry skin, consider skipping your morning cleanse altogether—it can help preserve your skin’s natural moisture and pH.
  
• Aftercleansing, it’s important to rebalance your skin with a pH-friendly product like a hydrating essence or toner. This helps restore moisture and supports a healthy barrier function.
  

If your skin feels tight or irritated after washing, it’s a sign
your routine might be too harsh—and a more pH-conscious approach
could make a big difference.

Not really. While it might seem like your skin is extra clean, the
“squeaky” feeling usually means your cleanser has stripped away
too much of your skin’s natural oils and disrupted its protective
barrier.

Healthy cleansing should leave your skin feeling fresh,
comfortable, and hydrated—not tight, dry, or squeaky. Using a
gentle, pH-balanced cleanser helps remove dirt, makeup, and
sunscreen without harming your skin’s natural moisture or
microbiome.

When it comes to dry or sensitive skin, choosing the right cleanser
is key. Many traditional cleansers can strip the skin of its natural
oils or disrupt its pH, leading to tightness, irritation, or barrier
damage. Here’s what to look for—and how our Regelica Cleanser was
specifically formulated with these needs in mind:

• pH-balancedformula: A gentle cleanser should match your skin’s natural, slightly acidic pH (around 5.5). This helps preserve the microbiome and keeps the barrier strong—especially important for sensitive or dry complexions.
  
• Sulfate-free surfactants: Harsh foaming agents like SLS can be overly drying. Instead, look for plant-derived, non-stripping alternatives—like those we use in our formula—to effectively cleanse without causing
  irritation or tightness.
  
• Non-foaming, cream or gel texture: Foamy cleansers may feel satisfying, but they often over-cleanse. A gentle, low-lather formula is more respectful of dry or reactive skin and helps retain essential moisture.
  
  
• Soothing botanical ingredients:
  – Water Lily extract helps calm redness and inflammation, perfect for stressed or sensitive skin.
  – Soybean extract is packed with amino acids and antioxidants to support hydration and elasticity.
  – Quillaja Saponaria (soap bark) extract offers natural cleansing benefits while remaining incredibly gentle—removing impurities without stripping the skin barrier.
  

The bottom line: a truly gentle cleanser should cleanse without compromise—removing what you don’t want, while preserving everything your skin needs to stay healthy, calm, and hydrated.

Using your cleanser the right way can make a big difference in how your skin looks and feels. Here’s a simple step-by-step guide:
1. Start with clean hands – Always wash your hands first to avoid transferring dirt or bacteria to your face.
2. Wet your face with lukewarm water – Avoid hot water, which can strip your skin of natural oils and disrupt its pH balance.
3. Apply a small amount of cleanser – Use about a dime-sized amount and gently massage it into your skin using circular motions. Focus on areas with buildup—like your T-zone, jawline, or anywhere you wear sunscreen or makeup.
4. Massage for 30–60 seconds – This helps loosen impurities and allows the ingredients to do their job without over-cleansing.
5. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water – Make sure to remove all traces of the cleanser.
6. Pat dry with a clean towel – Gently blot, don’t rub.
7. Follow with the next step in your routine – While your skin is still slightly damp, apply your essence, serum, or moisturizer to lock in hydration and restore pH balance.

Yes, our cleanser does contain fragrance — a light, fresh scent designed to enhance your skincare experience.
It’s true that many fragrances can be sensitizing, but we’ve taken extra care to minimize that risk:
Our fragrance is a low-allergen synthetic blend, not derived from essential oils or natural sources (which are common triggers).
It’s tested non-allergenic according to EU standards.
It contains no phthalates, which are often linked to irritation.
We carefully select every ingredient to ensure safety and efficacy, but as with any skincare product, we recommend performing a patch test before applying to larger areas — especially if you have sensitive skin.

We don’t label Regelica as a “clean beauty” brand because the term is vague, unregulated, and often used to create fear around ingredients that are actually safe and effective. Instead, we focus on transparency—clearly sharing what’s in our formulas and why.
Our products are free of phthalates, formaldehydes, parabens, mineral oil, SLS, and synthetic dyes—not because it’s trendy, but because we prioritize skin-friendly, science-backed ingredients.
“Clean” means different things to different people. We prefer to be clear. No gimmicks, just skincare that works.
And yes—we are proudly certified cruelty-free by both Leaping Bunny and PETA. We never test on animals, and we never will.

No—our cleanser is a gel-type, non-foaming formula. This SLS-free formula is designed to be gentle, hydrating, and ideal for sensitive or dry skin.

The cleanser has a thick gel-type texture that doesn’t slide off easily when applied to the face. Instead, it grips the skin gently, melting away makeup and sunscreen effectively while keeping the skin comfortable and nourished.

Our cleanser uses a carefully selected blend of gentle, sulfate-free surfactants that cleanse effectively without stripping or irritating the skin. Instead of harsh foaming agents like SLS, we use coconut- and plant-derived ingredients—including Disodium Cocoamphodiacetate, Sodium Cocoyl Alaninate, Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate, Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, Sodium Myristoyl Glutamate, Coco-Glucoside, and Lauryl Hydroxysultaine. These mild surfactants are known for being non-drying, making them ideal even for sensitive or reactive skin.
One standout ingredient is Quillaja Saponaria (soap bark) extract—a natural botanical cleanser traditionally used for its ability to lift impurities while soothing the skin, offering additional cleansing power without disrupting the skin barrier.

Water Lily (Nymphaea Alba) is more than just a beautiful flower—it’s a powerful botanical known for its soothing and anti-inflammatory properties. In skincare, Water Lily extract is especially beneficial for sensitive, irritated, or redness-prone skin.

Key benefits include:

• Calms inflammation and reduces visible redness
  
• Hydrates and softens the skin
  
• Helps promotea more even, radiant complexion
  
• Provides antioxidant protection against environmental stressors
  

Its natural ability to thrive in water makes it a symbol of skin renewal and balanc —ideal for calming and comforting compromised or reactive skin.

Soybean (Glycine Soja) Seed Extract is rich in amino acids,
antioxidants, and essential fatty acids, making it a versatile and
nutrient-dense ingredient for all skin types—especially dry, dull,
or aging skin.

Key benefits include:

• Boosts moisture retention by strengthening the skin barrier
  
• Improves elasticity and helps reduce the appearance of fine lines
  
• Delivers antioxidants that protect against free radical damage
  
• May help support a brighter, more even skin tone
  

Soybean extract is a multitasking ingredient that nourishes and supports the skin at a cellular level, making it especially helpful in barrier-repairing and anti-aging formulas.
