Product Description

WHAT IS IT?

A reusable alternative to single-use cotton rounds and makeup wipes, these multi-functional facial pads are small in size, but big on impact.

Carefully woven from upcycled cotton and FSC-certified wood pulp fibres, each pad can be used up to 200 times. So, with every economical pack of 10, you'll not only be saving money, but preventing a whopping 2,000 disposable rounds from being thrown into landfill too*.

*Based on using your cotton rounds 200 times each.

WHAT DOES IT DO?

Transforming from firm to plush when soaked with water, the innovative, dual-sided design features a striped half for gentle cleansing and toner application, with diamond etchings on the reverse for light exfoliation.

Plus, every order comes with a FREE machine-washable mesh bag for storing and laundering your pads.

At the end of their lifecycle, just pop them in your at-home food waste or compost.

10 pcs

How To Use

Soak your pad with water to transform it from stiff to super soft.

Then, squeeze out any excess.

Gently sweep over your face, neck and décolletage to wipe away cleanser morning and night, or to apply toning essences, like our Juicy Greens.

The striped side is perfect for the delicate eye and lip area, and the diamond side for added exfoliation anywhere else.

When finished, wash your pad, let it reharden and store it for next time.

Ingredients

Why Jojoba Oil Is Your Skin's Best Friend

At the heart of our Smoothing Cleanser is jojoba oil: a golden, skin-loving liquid that closely mimics your skin's own natural oils. That means it deeply cleansers without disrupting your delicate moisture barrier. Rich in vitamins E and B-complex, jojoba oil gently melts away makeup, sunscreen, and daily build-up, while keeping your skin nourished and balanced. It's non-comedogenic (so it won't clog pores), making it ideal for all skin types, from dry and sensitive to oily and blemish-prone. We chose jojoba for its versatility and skin compatibility, but you'll stay for the silky-soft glow it leaves behind.

I am loving my cotton

"I am loving my cotton pads. I am only using one at a time, cleaning it each time (with micellar water); I will compost it when it is finished (unfortunately, my fiance threw the first one out when I went away for a few days because he didn’t know what it was 🤦‍♀️ lol). I love how soft and pliable it is when wet—I squeeze it out and it works perfectly either alone or with my micellar cleansing water. I’ve used similar products in the past but this is, by far, my favourite."

Q&A

Hi. How many times can you use each pad before machine washing? Thanks.: Hi Caroline, thank you for getting in touch. We would advise using each pad once. The pack contains 10 pads so will be enough for a week :) we hope this helps!
How long do they last?: Hi Kelly, thank you for getting in touch. We recommend replacing these every 3 months. We hope this helps
