Gel-textured, eco-micellar cleanser
14 Beneficial Active Botanicals
4.2 fl oz (124ml)

Bright. The Lemon Glow Cleanser opens with pure cold-pressed lemon — clarifying, alive, waking the senses before it even reaches the skin.

This gel-textured, eco-micellar cleanser was made for skin that runs warm, oily, or breakout-prone — and it approaches that skin with intelligence, not aggression. Ocean-sourced brown algae provides the gentle micellar lifting base, dissolving makeup, sunscreen, and daily buildup while honoring the skin's natural pH. Yarrow — long revered in botanical tradition for its quiet affinity with oily and congested skin — adds refined depth, doing its work without announcing itself. Copaiba balsam, a treasured Amazonian resin used for centuries, grounds the formula with warm, softening comfort directly on the skin. Turmeric root brings its ancient golden warmth, and USDA Organic matcha carries the vibrancy of a green tea tradition that has honored the fresh complexion for generations.

No tightness. No stripping. No punishment for skin that is simply doing what skin does. Just a clean that feels bright, balanced, and completely alive.

How to Glow
Urban Alchemy Says

Lemon Essential Oil — A cold-pressed citrus oil naturally rich in d-limonene, lemon is prized for its refreshing, clarifying character. It is what you smell first — bright and uplifting — and what works quietly beneath the surface to support a clearer, more even-looking complexion.

Fucus Vesiculosus (Brown Algae) — The eco-micellar cleansing foundation of this formula. Mineral-rich and ocean-sourced, it lifts away impurities with a soft, conditioning intelligence that leaves the skin clean without ever feeling compromised.

Yarrow Oil — A botanical long honored in herbal traditions for its affinity with skin that appears oily or congested. Yarrow brings refined clarity and a quiet strength, working beneath the surface without announcing itself.

Turmeric Root Powder — A root revered across Ayurvedic and global plant medicine traditions for centuries. The source of this cleanser's warm golden hue, used here in its raw, unrefined form — a reminder that some of the most intelligent skincare ingredients have been in the earth all along.

Copaiba Balsam Oil — A treasured Amazonian resin with a long history in traditional plant medicine. Its warm, softening nature works directly on the skin — comforting and conditioning where the formula could otherwise feel stripped.

USDA Organic Matcha Powder — Shade-grown and ceremonially revered, matcha brings centuries of green tea tradition to this formula. Its natural plant compounds support a fresh, vibrant complexion.

Full Ingredient List: Purified water, caprylyl/capryl glucoside, sorbitan oleate decylglucoside crosspolymer, hydroxyethylcellulose, pentylene glycol (eco-certified, sugar cane derived), citrus limonum (lemon) peel oil, glycerin (vegetal), helianthus annuus (sunflower) seed oil, sodium polyacrylate, xylitol, caprylic acid, glyceryl stearate (naturally derived), fucus vesiculosus, butylene glycol, lavandula hybrida (lavandin) oil, sambucus nigra (elder flower) flower extract, cucumis sativus (cucumber) fruit extract, salix alba (willow) bark extract, hamamelis virginiana (witch hazel) twig extract, copaifera officinalis (copaiba) oil, cananga odorata (ylang ylang) oil, camellia sinensis (green tea) leaf (organic matcha) powder, achillea millefolium (yarrow) oil, curcuma longa (turmeric) root powder, benzyl alcohol (naturally derived), potassium sorbate, sodium benzoate, and citric acid.

Apply a small amount to damp fingertips and work into a soft lather across the face. Massage gently for 30-60 seconds, allowing the botanicals to lift away the day. Rinse thoroughly with warm water.

Use morning and evening. In the evening, particularly after SPF or makeup, a second pass ensures a truly thorough cleanse — the first lifts the surface, the second cleanses the skin beneath.

Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use within 12 months of opening.

Oily skin is not a flaw. It is a skin type — and in nearly 30 years of working with it, it is one of the most misunderstood and most mistreated.

Most products formulated for oily and breakout-prone skin approach it as a problem to be corrected. They strip. They dry. They deploy harsh actives to force the skin into submission. And the skin responds the only way it knows how — by producing more oil, becoming more reactive, cycling through breakouts it cannot seem to escape.

The Lemon Glow Cleanser was built from a different understanding entirely. Lemon essential oil clarifies and brightens without aggression. Yarrow, honored in botanical traditions for centuries for its quiet affinity with congested skin, brings refinement rather than force. Copaiba balsam from the Amazon softens and soothes. And the brown algae base cleans — thoroughly, genuinely — without ever mistaking stripped for clean.

Your skin is not difficult. It simply hasn't found the right plants yet.
