🌿 A pH-neutral foaming cleanser from Christine Valmy's Valpure line — built for estheticians who need a reliable first-step prep that won't compromise the skin before active treatments.

The sulfate-free multi-surfactant system lifts makeup, sebum, and environmental residue without stripping the moisture barrier, making it a clean slate for peels, serums, or masks without reactive pushback. Witch hazel and hops bring surface-calming polyphenols that visibly settle redness post-cleanse — a real advantage when your next client is sensitive or your protocol runs deep. Phytic acid quietly chelates hard-water minerals, keeping the rinse-off result consistent across water conditions. The all-skin-types positioning means it fits the full range of facial service clients without a second SKU.

Worth noting: this formula does not address waterproof eye makeup, so build your service sequence accordingly.

A strong fit for estheticians running multi-step facial protocols on sensitive or reactive-skin clients — and a natural retail add-on for the home-care conversation.

• Thorough yet gentle cleansing: The sulfate-free, pH-neutral multi-surfactant system creates a mild lathering foam that effectively lifts makeup, excess sebum, and environmental residue from the skin surface without disrupting the moisture barrier or leaving a tight, stripped feeling.
• Calming, reduced post-cleanse redness: Witch Hazel and Hops extracts deliver polyphenol and flavonoid compounds that help minimize the appearance of surface redness and sensitivity, leaving reactive or sensitized skin visibly calmer after the rinse.
• Surface-purifying clarity: Thyme extract contributes antimicrobial and antioxidant phenolics that support a cleaner, clearer surface feel, making the cleanser well-suited for normal-to-combination skin prone to congestion.
• Skin-compatible pH balance: The pH-neutral formulation is designed to work in harmony with the skin's natural acid mantle, reducing the risk of disruption that can lead to dryness, tightness, or increased sensitivity after cleansing.
• Residue and hard-water mineral removal: Phytic acid acts as a chelating agent that binds and helps remove mineral deposits from hard water and surface dulling residue, supporting a visibly fresh and clean result even in high-mineral-content water environments.

Multi-Surfactant Mild Cleansing System: A sulfate-free blend of Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate, Lauryl Glucoside, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Sodium Laurylglucosides Hydroxypropylsulfonate, Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate, Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside, Sodium Surfactin, and Polyglyceryl-6 Oleate working together to produce a pH-neutral foam that effectively lifts surface sebum, dirt, and makeup without stripping the skin's moisture barrier.

Hamamelis Virginiana Leaf Extract - known as Witch Hazel Extract: A polyphenol-rich botanical extract at trace position providing astringent and surface-calming properties that help minimize the appearance of pores and reduce post-cleansing surface redness on sensitive skin types.

Thymus Vulgaris Flower/Leaf Extract - known as Thyme Extract: A phenolic-rich thyme extract with recognized antimicrobial and antioxidant properties that contribute a surface-purifying character to the cleanse, supporting clarity for congestion-prone and normal skin types.

Humulus Lupulus Extract - known as Hops Extract: A hop cone extract providing anti-inflammatory soothing compounds (primarily prenylated flavonoids) that help calm surface reactivity and support a comfortable post-cleanse feel for sensitive or reactive skin.

Phytic Acid: A naturally derived chelating and mild exfoliating acid (from grain sources) that sequesters mineral ions in hard water and gently aids the removal of surface debris and dulling residue, contributing to a brighter, cleaner feel after rinsing.

1. Wet the client's face with lukewarm water.
2. Dispense a small amount of cleanser onto clean hands and work into a lather.
3. Apply the lather evenly across the client's face, including the eye-area perimeter — avoid direct eye contact.
4. Massage gently in circular motions for 30 to 60 seconds to ensure thorough cleansing of the skin surface.
5. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water, ensuring all product is fully removed.
6. Pat the skin dry gently with a clean towel.
7. Follow immediately with the appropriate toner, serum, or moisturizer as the next step in the facial service protocol.

Service integration notes

This cleanser functions as an ideal first-step prep cleanser in a professional facial service — its pH-neutral, non-stripping character preserves skin integrity before subsequent active treatments (peels, masks, or serums). For clients with reactive or sensitive skin, the Witch Hazel and Hops botanical content makes this a strong retail recommendation for daily at-home use between professional visits, supporting a natural-positioned home-care regimen. Note that this product does not remove waterproof or heavy eye makeup — a dedicated eye makeup remover should be used first for clients wearing eye cosmetics, preserving the cleanser's gentle profile and ensuring a thorough service result.
