You may have noticed that Blank Slate looks slightly different from Aquafix and Mr. Reliable. It's been years in the making but our brand is finally getting a design makeover and will be gradually transitioning to Blank Slate's new design :)

Ingredients List & Actives Profiles

You shouldn’t need a degree in chemistry to take care of your skin. But, to be clear, someone needs the degree.

Strategic Surfactants

Not Your Normal Surfactants

This cleanser was formulated to be SLS, SLES, and even coco-betaine free. While these surfactants work for most, there is a subcategory of skin types that don’t do well with these surfactants, which seem to be in just about every cleanser out there. No skin type gets left out!

Hydrators

Hydrating, Skin Quenching, Water-grabbing Humectants

While there isn’t a single best humectant, the secret sauce is to use a calculated blend of the top performers, that each brings something unique to the table! Aquafix contains our perfect blend of 5% glycerin, 2% sodium PCA, 2% panthenol, and 0.5% hyaluronic acid to keep skin happily hydrated.

Soothers

0.5% Madecassoside & Asiaticoside

This is the actual isolated active component of the beloved centella asiatica extract that's famous for its soothing superiority.

1% Allantoin

One of the original soothing molecules that has withstood the tests of time, allantoin is naturally found in our bodies, as well as in plants and animals.

Soothe

0.5% silymarin

Also known as milk thistle extract. The chemists spent most of the two years working on a way to stabilize this active because of its strong soothing properties.

0.5% bisabolol

This is the isolated compound from German chamomile that is known for its potent soothing & skin brightening properties.

The ingredient is called Silymarin (sih-lee-mae-rin), and comes from the extract of milk thistle. You'll find it on the ingredient list as "Silybum Marianum Fruit Extract", usually in a handful of clinical brands such as Skinceuticals, PCA Skin, and Dr. Dennis Gross…. And most recently our very own Mr. Reliable 2.0! Silymarin is a potent antioxidant with anti-inflammatory pr...

Decoding Moisturizer Ingredients

There's an unbelievable amount of moisturizing products out on the market, each promising skin that is softer, plumper, and more dewy than the next. But sadly, more often then not, consumers are left wondering "why is my skin still so dry despite my decked out moisturizer routine?" The reality is that there isn’t just one “best” moisturizer for your face.
