Salicylic Acid Cleanser for oily and congested skin.

Congested skin needs a cleanser that clears without leaving it tight. This wholesale, private-label-ready salicylic acid cleanser does both. Salicylic acid works in the oil within pores, while activated charcoal and tea tree leaf water help lift away excess oil and grime. As a result, your salicylic acid cleanser leaves skin feeling fresh, clear and clean.

At the same time, colloidal oats, Aloe Ferox and glycerin help skin stay soft rather than stripped. Niacinamide adds everyday care, and sunflower, grapeseed and hemp oils give the wash its creamy, cushioning feel. The cleansers come from coconut and sugar, so the lather stays mild.

A clearing cleanse, without the tightness.

Every Eunoia formulation is vegan and cruelty-free. We also never formulate skin-whitening products.

Hero Ingredients

Salicylic Acid
Salicylic Acid is a beta hydroxy acid (BHA) and the go-to for congested skin. Unlike water-loving AHAs, it is oil-soluble, so it can reach into the oil within pores. In a cleanser, it helps loosen the build-up of dead cells and sebum as you massage. With regular use, this salicylic acid cleanser helps keep pores clear and skin looking smoother.

Activated Charcoal
Activated charcoal is made porous through a special heating process, which gives it a huge surface area. In a face wash, that surface helps grab excess oil and everyday grime. As a result, it all rinses away, leaving skin feeling fresh, clean and clarified. Plus, it gives the cleanser its striking grey colour.

Tea Tree Leaf Water
Tea tree leaf water is the fragrant water collected when Australian tea tree leaves are distilled. It carries a fresh, herbal character that instantly feels clarifying. As a result, it makes a cooling, refreshing base for skin that tends to feel oily or congested.

Niacinamide
Niacinamide is a water-soluble form of Vitamin B3 and one of skincare’s great multitaskers. It supports the skin’s own production of barrier lipids such as ceramides. In turn, skin holds on to moisture better. Over time, it also helps patchy, uneven areas look smoother and more even, including marks left by breakouts. Best of all, it is gentle and suits most skin types.

Colloidal Oats
Colloidal oatmeal is oats milled so finely they disperse into the wash. It has soothed skin for generations, thanks to natural compounds called avenanthramides and beta-glucans. In a cleanser, it helps balance the deep-clean feel, so skin feels soft rather than tight after rinsing.

Supporting Cast

Every ingredient earns its place. Here’s what else is in our salicylic acid cleanser and why.

Cocamidopropyl Betaine & Coco-Glucoside: Cocamidopropyl Betaine and Coco-Glucoside are mild cleansers derived from coconut oil and sugar. They create a soft, creamy lather that lifts away oil and grime without stripping.

Aloe Ferox: Aloe Ferox is South Africa’s indigenous aloe, native to the Cape. In fact, local skincare has relied on it for generations. Its inner gel is rich in polysaccharides that soothe and hydrate the skin. Plus, it gives your range a genuinely local hero to talk about.

Hemp, Grapeseed and Sunflower Oils: Hemp brings omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, while grapeseed and sunflower are light, linoleic-rich oils. Together they help skin feel soft and supple after cleansing.

Glycerin: A humectant that draws water into the outer layers of the skin and helps keep it there. As a result, skin feels hydrated rather than tight.

Propylene Glycol: A clear, lightweight humectant. It adds hydration and also helps the formula spread smoothly across the skin.

Vitamin E: Tocopherol is a fat-soluble antioxidant. Because of this, it helps defend skin against everyday environmental stress. Vitamin E also conditions dry patches, leaving skin soft and cared for.

Texture ingredients: Cetearyl Alcohol (a plant-derived fatty alcohol, not the drying kind), PEG-20 Stearate, Polysorbate 80 and Xanthan Gum give the face wash its creamy, lotion-like body. As a result, it spreads easily and rinses clean.

Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Sodium Benzoate & Potassium Sorbate: A paraben-free, formaldehyde-free system that protects against bacteria, yeast and mould. As a result, it keeps the product fresh from first use to last.

Disodium EDTA: Not a preservative, but a helper. It binds the trace minerals naturally found in water, so they cannot affect the formula. As a result, the product stays clear, fresh and working as it should.

Citric Acid: A fruit-derived acid. We use just a tiny amount to keep the face wash gentle on skin.

How to Use:

Wet your face with lukewarm water. Massage a small amount into the skin for 30 to 60 seconds, then rinse well and pat dry. Follow with toner, serum and moisturiser. If your skin is sensitive or dry, ease it in: start once a day, then build up to morning and evening. As a rinse-off step, it can sit in routines with other exfoliating acids, Vitamin C or Vitamin A such as retinol or retinyl. If your skin feels dry or sensitive, avoid using them back to back. You can still use them on the same day. For example, cleanse with this in the morning and use your retinol at night. Always wear sunscreen during the day. Avoid the eyes and lips. Avoid broken, sunburnt or irritated skin. Not suitable for anyone allergic to aspirin or salicylates. Not to be used on children under 3 years of age. If it gets into the eyes, rinse well with water. For external use only. Patch test before first use.
