SS is a viscous & intense cleaning balm for the face formulated with highly-concentrated very-unrefined Ayurvedic plant surfactants unsupported by any modern cleaning technology. SS contains no purified or synthetic surfactants sulphates oils esters or micellar technologies. It is a p H-balanced suspension of the amino acid Arginine in saponins from the Ayurvedic plants shikakai & sapindus mukorossi. Cleaning started with water. Its evolution brought soap. It was later presented that soap was harsh & soap-free surfactants were introduced. Those surfactants became questionable & newer sulphate-free surfactants were introduced — while in fact some sulphate surfactants were far gentler & more effective. It was then suggested that surfactants were bad in general & that oils should be used for cleaning the skin instead. The modern day has gone farther to introduce micellar waters & water-free cleaning systems suggesting that water-cleaning should be less frequent to preserve skin integrity — what has become the beginning of questioning the very thing that started both life & the meaning of being clean: water. The truth is that every advance in the journey of cleaning deserves respect. Each step criticized the previous step more so that it praised itself — but the truth is that water is good soaps are good surfactants are good & what there is today is good — each in its own way. Today cleaning — or its unnecessarily-privileged language form cleansing — seems to be more focused on removing makeup than actually cleaning bare skin — of dirt of dead cells & of oils. While many modern products remove makeup & surface dirt very effectively they largely leave the pores unclean of bacteria dirt & oils. Such products also leave spent cells more intact than even through water-cleaning discouraging the skin to behave optimally. The alternative to these gentle cleaning products (or makeup removers) is the use of aggressive acids alcohols & exfoliants. Products with these technologies go to the opposite extreme — they interact with the skin's bonds to peel the surface and/or specifically dry out as much oil as possible. This approach does clean the surface well but causes inflammation & encourages excess exposure of the skin's lower layers to the environment allowing for premature ageing. In our distant past plant saponins were used to clean the skin well — & they did so very well. These saponins clean the surface of dead cells without peeling the skin. They delete dirt. They clean pores intensely. & they remove the skin's own oils — yes the skin's very own oils & sebum secretions that everyone is so fearful of removing. The skin is not a cover. It is a living organ. Its function is to produce protective oils. To never clean these oils discourages their natural recycling — in a way it would discourage the skin to engage in exercise. & removing these oils too aggressively results in excessive dryness & a compensatory overproduction of oils. SS is a cleaning balm that concentrates Ayurvedic saponins. They're unrefined & messy. They borrow their colour & smell from a place far away from today's madding crowd of refinement. But their near-perfect equilibrium between deep cleaning & respecting skin integrity is evidence that — somehow somewhere — they connected to humankind. With continued use SS visibly targets all forms of build-up blemishes congestion & impurities. It is suitable for all skin types. After the first use SS leaves the skin looking nearly pore-free & its surface exceptionally cleaned — as if it's radiating from within. Notes: 1. While SS is p H-balanced plant saponins (and plants in general) can mildly irritate the eyes. While this sensitivity can be avoided by keeping your eyes closed during cleaning if you develop any mild sensitivity around the eyes it will disappear within a few minutes. 2. Within the first few minutes after using SS you may feel that your skin feels mildly dry. This temporary feeling is a direct result of SS having removed skin oils gently to encourage recycling of these oils. This feeling is very short-lived & within a few minutes you'll notice your skin returns to normal. 3. For committed users of SS the product can be applied for a deeper cleaning treatment as follows: Remove any makeup. Clean the skin with water & dry with a towel. Wet the palms of your h&. Massage a generous amount of SS into your palms until a mild lather forms like a paste. Apply to dry skin avoiding the eye areas entirely. Leave on for 5 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with your eyes closed. Dry with a towel. Yešti
