Freshness & care

Shake well before every use because natural separation may occur. Store tightly closed at room temperature, away from heat and direct sunlight; do not refrigerate. For best freshness, use within six months of opening. Unopened product remains good for 12-18 months from the batch date.

MELT, EMULSIFY, REMOVE

Take the day off gently.

  1. Start dry

    With dry hands on a dry face, massage a pea-sized amount over face, neck and closed eyes.

  2. Add water

    Add a splash of lukewarm water and continue massaging to loosen makeup, SPF and daily buildup.

  3. Remove completely

    Rinse well or wipe with a warm, damp washcloth. Then follow with toner, serum and moisturizer.

Pro tips from the hive

Full makeup or heavy SPF: use this cleanser first, then follow with Foaming Facial Wash for a double cleanse.

Lash adhesive: let a small amount sit over closed eyes for 10-15 seconds, then wipe gently and rinse well.

Shaving: massage a thin layer onto damp skin as a soothing shave cream, then rinse.

The BEST cleanser

And the only skin care products I will ever use. I used to make my own skin care products out of the same ingredients HGO uses but I could never nail down the recipe. These guys got it down! I love that there are only a few ingredients, and all natural ingredients I could eat if I wanted to. I’m big on saving money and I don’t buy much bougie 🤑 but I am happy to pay for these products. I get compliments on my complexion all the time! My skin has never been happier. I’ll never put a chemical mainstream product on my face again. Thank you HGO for your commitment to exquisite skin care!

I have very sensitive skin and cannot use any product with fragrance, on my face.
It removes all makeup and mascara with one wash.
