Let’s talk about cleansing.
It’s the foundation of any skincare routine — but not all cleansers are created equal. Some are too harsh, stripping away natural oils and disrupting the skins delicate barrier. The right cleanser, however, does more than just clean — it protects, nourishes, and supports long-term skin health.
Enter: Tabula Rasa Cream Cleanser — a thoughtful blend of gentle surfactants, hydrating agents, and antioxidant-rich botanicals designed to cleanse without compromise. Let’s dive into what makes it different.
🌿 The Science-Backed Benefits
Tabula Rasa Cream Cleanser isn’t about creating foam for the sake of foam — it’s about effective, respectful cleansing. Every ingredient has been selected to support skin health while delivering a thorough cleanse without dryness or irritation.
💦 Purified Water
The base of the formula. Water acts as a solvent, allowing active ingredients to dissolve evenly and spread across the skin for effective cleansing.
🧴 Cetearyl Alcohol
A fatty alcohol — not the drying kind — that softens and conditions the skin. It gives the cleanser its creamy texture, ensuring a gentle, cushiony cleanse.
💧 Glycerin
A powerhouse humectant. Glycerin draws moisture into the skin and helps maintain hydration during cleansing — preventing that tight, uncomfortable feeling after washing.
🧈 Stearic Acid
Naturally found in plant oils, stearic acid supports the skins barrier and gives the cleanser its stability and rich, luxurious texture.
🌊 Ceteareth-20
An emulsifier that helps oil and water work together. It ensures smooth, even application and helps the cleanser rinse away easily without leaving residue.
🌱 Decyl Glucoside
A mild, plant-derived surfactant that gently lifts away dirt, oil, and sunscreen without stripping natural moisture — ideal for sensitive or compromised skin.
🥑 Avocado Oil
Loaded with essential fatty acids and vitamins A, D, and E, avocado oil deeply nourishes and helps to repair and strengthen the skin’s barrier.
🌰 Macadamia Oil
Rich in omega-7 fatty acids, macadamia oil helps replenish skin lipids, improving hydration and resilience.
🌻 Jojoba Oil
A lightweight oil that mimics the skin’s natural sebum. Jojoba oil helps regulate oil production while delivering antioxidants and soothing hydration.
🧬 Phenoxyethanol
A gentle preservative that maintains product safety and stability without irritating sensitive skin.
🌾 Xanthan Gum
A natural thickener that gives the cleanser a smooth, luxurious consistency and improves skin-feel during application.
🌼 Alpha-Bisabolol
Derived from chamomile, bisabolol is a calming, anti-inflammatory agent that helps soothe redness and irritation — ideal for sensitive skin.
✨ Natural Vitamin E
An antioxidant that helps protect the skin from environmental stress and supports barrier repair, keeping skin calm and resilient.
🥥 Cocoamidopropyl Betaine
A coconut-derived cleansing agent that enhances mild cleansing without compromising the skin’s natural barrier.
🌊 Sodium Lauroamphoacetate
Another ultra-gentle surfactant that helps remove impurities while maintaining hydration and supporting a healthy lipid barrier.
🧂 Sodium Chloride
Helps adjust the formula’s texture, ensuring a smooth, balanced feel without irritation.
🌸 Ethylhexylglycerin
A preservative booster and skin-conditioning agent that supports the formulas mild, non-disruptive profile.
🌿 Cypress Blue Australian Oil
Known for its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, it helps calm and purify the skin while adding a subtle, fresh scent.
💜 Lavender Australian Oil
Traditionally used for its calming, soothing properties, lavender oil helps reduce skin stress and promote relaxation during your routine.
🥝 Kiwi Fruit Extract
A rich source of vitamin C and antioxidants, kiwi extract helps brighten and protect skin from free radical damage.
🍈 Papaya Fruit Extract
Natural enzymes in papaya gently exfoliate the skin, supporting smoother texture without the need for abrasive scrubs.
🍃 Caprylyl Glycol
A skin-conditioning agent that enhances hydration and supports the formulas preservation system.
🍑 Kakadu Plum Extract
One of the richest natural sources of vitamin C. Kakadu Plum helps boost collagen production and defend against oxidative stress.
🍒 Lilly Pilly Fruit Extract
Another Australian botanical powerhouse, Lilly Pilly is loaded with vitamin C and antioxidants, promoting bright, healthy skin.
🍑 Quandong Fruit Extract
Rich in phenolic acids, Quandong extract provides antioxidant protection and helps calm inflammation, supporting overall skin health.
✨ Why Choose a Cream Cleanser Like Tabula Rasa?
Not all cleansers are designed with the skins natural barrier in mind. Harsh surfactants and foaming agents can compromise hydration levels, leading to dryness, sensitivity, and irritation over time.
Cream cleansers — especially those with hydrating agents and nourishing oils —:
-
Remove impurities without stripping the skin
-
Support the skins moisture balance
-
Reinforce the barrier to defend against environmental stress
-
Calm and condition sensitive or reactive skin
-
Prepare skin for the absorption of serums, oils, and moisturisers
🧴 How to Use Tabula Rasa Cream Cleanser
-
Apply to damp skin and massage gently to lift away impurities.
-
Rinse with lukewarm water or remove with a soft cloth for a deeper cleanse.
-
Use morning and evening to maintain a balanced, nourished complexion.
For best results, cleanse for at least 30 seconds to allow the ingredients to interact with the skin — and don't rush it. Cleansing should be a mindful, barrier-supportive first step in your routine.
Who Is It Suited For?
✔️ All skin types
✔️ Sensitive, reactive, or barrier-compromised skin
✔️ Skin prone to dryness or dehydration
✔️ Those exposed to harsh environmental conditions (air-con, heat, wind)
✔️ Suitable for pregnancy and breastfeeding
In Summary...
Tabula Rasa Cream Cleanser is a formula designed to cleanse gently while nourishing and protecting the skin. With a blend of hydrating humectants, soothing botanicals, and mild surfactants, it supports skin barrier health and leaves skin feeling clean, soft, and resilient — never tight or stripped.
Cleansing isn’t just about removing the day — it’s about preparing and supporting the skin for everything that follows.
