New: Beauty Restoring Creamy Cleanser - The Hard Water Cleanser for Stressed, Reactive Skin

If your skin changed after moving, it might be hard water (not “your skin”)

If you have moved house, moved to London, or even just noticed your skin feels tighter after cleansing than it used to, hard water could be part of the story. Hard water is water with a high level of dissolved minerals, mainly calcium and magnesium. In many parts of the UK (especially London and the South East), this mineral-heavy water can leave residue on the skin and make your face feel dry, rough, or congested over time.

Meet the launch: Beauty Restoring Creamy Cleanser (100ml)

Introducing Beauty Restoring Creamy Cleanser, our new cream cleanser created for people living in hard water areas who want a cleanse that feels effective and comforting. It is designed to lift away daily impurities and help clear away the feel of mineral residue, without leaving skin feeling stripped.

Why hard water can make skin feel dry, rough, or prone to breakouts

When mineral-rich water dries on the skin, it can leave a residue. If you are already dealing with stressed, reactive, or city-exposed skin, that extra “film” can make your skin feel less comfortable and less smooth. This is also why switching to a harsh, foaming cleanser can backfire, because you can end up in a cycle of cleansing, tightness, and overcompensating with heavier products.

How to check your water hardness (PPM) by postcode

If you want to know whether you live in a hard water area, the most accurate way is to use your local water supplier’s water quality checker.

How to check (takes about a minute):

1. Search Google for: “water quality checker” + your water supplier name

   Example: “Thames Water water quality checker”

2. Enter your postcode

3. Look for:

   • Hardness
   • Calcium carbonate
   • mg/L as CaCO₃ (this is commonly used in the UK and is effectively the same unit style people refer to as PPM)

Quick guide: what your number means (PPM / mg/L as CaCO₃)

• 0–100: Soft
• 100–150: Slightly hard
• 150–200: Moderately hard
• 200–300: Hard
• 300+: Very hard

What makes Beauty Restoring Creamy Cleanser different from a normal face wash

A lot of cleansers are built around foam and that “super clean” feeling. But if hard water is already stressing your skin barrier, cleansing should not feel like a reset button that leaves your face tight. Beauty Restoring Creamy Cleanser is a barrier-first cleanser that focuses on comfort, balance, and a clean feel that does not come with the “squeaky” aftermath.

A treatment cleanse: hard water clearing + calm, in one step

This is not just a cleanser you tolerate. It is a cleanser you can look forward to using. Beauty Restoring Creamy Cleanser is enriched with hard-water mineral clearing Neem, skin de-stressing Ashwagandha, sulfur-rich Sea Moss, and barrier-supporting Rice Bran Oil to help skin look clearer, feel softer, and appear more balanced after cleansing.

How to use it (dry cleanse method for best results in hard water areas)

If you live in a hard water area, a “dry cleanse” approach can be a game-changer because it helps the formula grip onto sunscreen, light makeup, excess oil, and daily grime before you add more water.

Dry cleanse method:

1. Dispense 5–6 pumps into your hand.
2. Massage onto dry skin in circular motions for at least 30 seconds.
3. Add a small amount of water to emulsify (it turns milky), then massage again for another 15–30 seconds.
4. Rinse with lukewarm water or remove with a warm damp cloth.

For enhanced support, once emulsified, leave on skin for up to 3 minutes, then rinse.

Who it is for

Beauty Restoring Creamy Cleanser is for anyone who:

• lives in a hard water area and wants a hard water cleanser that feels comfortable
