SAME GREAT FORMULA - UPGRADED PACKAGING: Blank Slate is finally back with upgraded, made from PCR, fully recyclable packaging!

A low foam, gel cleanser created to target that sweet spot between gentleness and cleansing power. This formula is the brainchild of the chemists looking for a simple, dependable cleanser and vetted by CC Product Incubator participants who self-identify as sensitive skin types. The cleanser removes sunscreen and daily makeup as a simple one-and-done. Low pH, SLS, SLES, and coco betaine free.

Details

How to use

Blank Slate got its name because every good skincare routine should start with a dependable cleanser that's gentle but powerful enough to remove daily sunscreen and makeup.

MORNING & NIGHT

Use 1-2 pumps morning and night as a first step to your routine. Apply to wet skin and massage on face in a circular motion. Rinse with water. 

PRO TIP

For long-wear makeup users, Blank Slate is the perfect addition to any double cleanse routine. Remove makeup with your favorite makeup remover, cleansing balm, or cleansing oil and finish with Blank Slate to prep skin for the rest of your skincare goodness.

Pssst...did you know?

Cleansers are so personal that when the chemists first started formulating, they were formulating two completely different formulas (a cream & a gel) because they couldn’t decide. This is how our Incubator was born because at the end of the day, our users should get the final vote! Want to join the club and participate? Sign up here!
