STEP 01 — CLEANSE

Breakwater Cleansing Melt

Most cleansers get your face clean by making it feel like it lost a fight. Breakwater does it differently. This balm-to-milk cleansing melt starts rich, breaks down makeup, SPF, oil, and the day's grit, then turns silky with water and rinses clean without the tight, stripped aftermath. No film. No face panic. Just soft, comfortable skin ready for the next step.
  • Dissolves makeup, SPF, oil, and daily buildup
  • Turns milky with water and rinses clean without a heavy film

GOOD TO KNOW

Everything you actually need to know.

How to use it, where it fits, what makes it different, and the full ingredient list.

How to Use

Scoop out about a dime sized amount and massage onto dry skin in slow circles. Let the balm melt through makeup, SPF, oil, and daily buildup.

Add water and watch it turn milky, then rinse thoroughly and pat dry. Use morning or night, then follow with Deep Current.

Where It Fits

Use Breakwater first, morning or night, to remove makeup, SPF, oil, and buildup without leaving skin tight. Rinse clean, then follow with whatever hydration, treatment, or moisturizer comes next.

Why It's Different

Breakwater starts as a rich cleansing balm, then transforms into a milk when water hits it so it actually rinses clean.

Fireweed and yarrow-infused sunflower oil, calendula-infused jojoba, shea butter, castor oil, and a plant-based emulsifier work together to lift the day without leaving skin tight, coated, or greasy.

No film. No stripped feeling. Clean skin that still feels like skin.
