DUVADERM

Cleansing that doesn't strip, sting, or sabotage.

Tensides-also known as surfactants or cleansing agents-are the molecules that lift dirt and oil from your skin. But not all surfactants are created equal.
Most cleansers claim to be gentle-but few truly are. Ours can prove it. The surfactants in Duvaderm cleansers are so mild, they're the same ones used in baby washes.

Yes-our cleanser is tear-free.

You could open your eyes while washing and feel nothing. That's not a gimmick. That's formulation integrity.

But here's the science: the gentler a surfactant is, the weaker its cleansing power tends to be. So we searched. Tested. Refined. Out of more than a hundred sugar- and coconut-derived surfactants, we found the precise combinations that could do both: cleanse thoroughly and treat your skin like it's still in its first year of life.

Science says it's hard. We say it's worth it.

Some brands chase trends. We chase evidence.

While the internet moves from Centella to Mugwort to whatever's trending next, we stick with what's clinically sound. Licorice extract may not go viral-but it's been a quiet hero in premium Japanese skincare brands for decades.

Why? Because it works.

The active compound-Dipotassium Glycyrrhizinate-has been studied for over 30 years. It helps calm inflammation, reduce irritation, and support skin healing through multiple biochemical pathways. It's not a one-trick plant-it's a multi-targeted molecule with a clinical

And yes, it took our biochemist weeks of journal deep dives to confirm: this is one of the most trusted anti-inflammatory agents in dermatological science.

Sometimes the real innovation is knowing which classics to keep.

When it comes to hydration, staying power matters.

Most hydrators sit on the skin-and rinse off just as easily. Saccharide Isomerate does the opposite. This plant-derived, skin-identical sugar complex binds to your skin like a molecular magnet, locking in moisture for up to 72 hours-even after washing.
The secret? Its structure mimics what your skin naturally makes. So instead of acting like a guest molecule, it's treated like family- in, and held close.

It doesn't just boost hydration. It helps your skin remember how to stay hydrated on its own.

Hydration that holds on-because your skin deserves more than a quick fix.
