All the clean without the mean

Tabula Rasa

Gentle Foaming Cleanser
3.3 fl oz / 100ml

Tabula Rasa is a no-nonsense (nothing unnecessary added) cleanser that uses amino acids and other mild surfactants to gently cleanse without irritating. It leaves no residue, doesn’t penetrate the skin, and leaves lipids intact. The result is a tough cleanser that’s gentle on skin.

TLDR: Use Tabula Rasa to get a deep clean without that too clean feel.

First, do no harm.

Typical cleansers can damage the skin barrier, irritate the skin, or leave residue that causes breakouts. Tabula Rasa was made to solve that. We use an effective surfactant system to cleanse, protect the skin barrier, and leave no irritating residue. It gets rid of everything you don’t want and protects everything you do.

A clean that’s actually clean

Tabula Rasa is completely skin barrier safe. It’s made with amino acid based surfactants that degrade naturally, adding hydration without leaving any residue.

Irritation-free engineering

HASE (hydrophobically modified alkali-soluble emulsion) technology stabilizes the formulation, preventing surfactants from breaking down into smaller molecules that would otherwise irritate skin.

Limited addition

A lot of brands add extra, fancy-sounding ingredients to cleansers that instantly wash off the skin. We’re not into that. We use only what we need, no fillers, and no scents.

Scientifically Engineered

How to engineer a gentle cleanser that really works.

we start with effective cleansing actives

✅   Most surfactants break up on contact, leaving behind particles that cause irritation. We stabilized ours, so we can cleanse with less irritation.

👩‍🔬. Even gentle, stable surfactants can dry skin, so we need to do more to protect against dryness.

and create a protective layer to minimize irritation

✅ Tabula Rasa creates a hydrating layer on the skin’s surface that doubles as a barrier against surfactant penetration.

👩‍🔬Even with extra protection, the cleansing process can still make skin extra sensitive.

to make a barrier safe, extra hydrating cleanser

✅ Finally, our amino acid-based surfactants degrade into amino and fatty acids. We get extra hydration and nourishment.

👩‍🔬A gentle cleanser that doesn’t have to sacrifice effectiveness? The first one we've heard of too.
