Ten years ago, when we reformulated our Soothing Cream Cleanser, we weren't trying to create a bestseller. We knew our hero cleanser would need to suit all skin types, including sensitive skin; it had to be powerful enough to remove the day's grime without stripping or stinging; and we would not compromise - it had to be 100% toxin-free and packed with Certified Organic goodness. And We did it.

A decade later, our Soothing Cream cleanser is still our most-loved product. And we think that says something about what people really want from their skincare: kindness, not complexity.

It Began with a Belief that Cleansing Should Never be Harsh

In the early days of Sanctum Organics, we noticed how many people were battling redness, dryness, or that tight feeling after washing their face. Most cleansers relied on detergents or synthetic foaming agents that compromised the skin barrier. Let's save that squeaky-clean feeling for the dishes.

Our solution was to start from nature and stay there. We combined Certified Organic plant-based ingredients like Aloe Vera and Chamomile to create a cleanser that nourishes while it cleanses. It's creamy, non-foaming, and specifically formulated to soothe the skin rather than challenge it.

How to Tell if Your Cleanser is Too Harsh

If your skin feels tight or dry after washing, your cleanser may be stripping your natural oils. Switching to a gentle, cream-based cleanser like our Soothing Cream Cleanser helps maintain hydration and balance, strengthening the skin barrier over time and reducing sensitivity.

Switching to a cream-based formula can make a big difference, especially if you're prone to sensitivity, dehydration, or fine lines. If your skin is on the oilier side, this cleanser will help maintain its balance. Over time, your skin barrier becomes stronger and more resilient, which means fewer flare-ups and more consistent hydration.

Why it Works (and why people keep coming back)

• It respects your skin barrier. Instead of foaming, it gently lifts away impurities, leaving your natural oils intact.
• It's rich in calming botanicals. Certified Organic Chamomile and Calendula help ease redness and soothe irritation.
• It's naturally balanced. Plant-based emollients like Canola Oil help protect and condition the skin for a healthy glow.
• It's perfect for all ages and skin types. From teenage skin to mature complexions, it brings balance to them all.
• It hydrates while it cleanses. Certified Organic Aloe Vera and Glycerin draw in moisture so your skin feels soft and comfortable, never tight.
• It's part of a simple and cohesive range of Certified Organic, Vegan and Cruelty Free products for your skin, body, hair and more.

Your Simple Two-Minute Ritual

Great skin doesn't come from complicated routines; it comes from consistency and gentle care.

🕕 Morning:

Start your day with a single cleanse to remove overnight buildup and prep your skin for hydration. Massage a small amount of cleanser onto damp skin, then rinse with lukewarm water or wipe away with a soft cloth. Follow with your toner, serum and moisturiser.

🌙 Evening:

In the evening, give your skin a little extra attention with a double cleanse.

• The first cleanse melts away makeup, sunscreen, and daily grime.
• The second cleanse purifies and conditions the skin itself, leaving it fresh, soft, and ready to absorb your nighttime skincare.

Just two simple minutes, twice a day, will help you naturally reach your skin goals.
