What is it?

The Skin Balance Duo is a two-step botanical and marine skincare ritual designed to help skin navigate the effects of modern life, overstimulation, daily buildup, and dehydration.

Begin with Pink Ubtan, a water-activated botanical powder cleanser inspired by centuries-old South Asian Ubtan rituals. It deeply cleanses pores and daily buildup while combining Chickpea, Upcycled Rice, Turmeric, Rose, Hibiscus, Coconut Milk, Centella Asiatica, and Colloidal Oatmeal to leave skin feeling clean, soft, comfortable, and balanced.

Follow with Zen Algae Elixir, a nourishing facial oil-serum inspired by Japanese botanical traditions and modern marine cosmetic science. At the heart of the formula is 1% of a COSMOS-certified, neuroscience-backed marine algae active, developed through research into the connection between stress and the skin.

This high-performance marine bioactive is complemented by Japanese Camellia, Perilla, Rosehip, Squalane, Upcycled Carrot and Chamomile-derived calming extract, bringing together nutrient-rich botanical oils, skin-supporting lipids and comforting plant extracts to help replenish, hydrate and support visible skin balance.

Together, the two formulas create a complementary ritual: Pink Ubtan deeply cleanses and resets, while Zen Elixir replenishes, hydrates, and helps de-stress skin with nutrient-rich botanical oils, calming ingredients and marine bioactives.

The result is skin that feels deeply cleansed, hydrated, nourished and visibly more balanced, bringing together South Asian heritage, Japanese botanical inspiration and modern skin science in one considered ritual.

Who is this for?

The Skin Balance Duo is designed for anyone looking to take a more considered approach to their routine, particularly when skin feels:

  • overwhelmed by an overcomplicated routine
  • stressed or depleted
  • dry and lacking comfort
  • dull or out of balance
  • in need of a gentler place to begin

It is also an ideal introduction to Beauty Cleanse if you're unsure which products to start with.

If your skincare shelf is full but your skin still doesn't feel quite right, this duo is an invitation to begin with the basics: cleanse thoughtfully, then replenish

How Do I Use it?

STEP 1 : CLEANSE WITH PINK UBTAN

Add a small amount of Pink Ubtan to wet hands and gradually add water to create a smooth paste. You can create the texture that feels right for your ritual. Add more water for a lighter, silkier cleanse. Use less for a richer treatment-like texture.

Massage gently over damp skin to cleanse pores and lift away daily buildup, then rinse thoroughly.

The result is a cleansing experience that feels less like another task and more like a moment of care

For an extra botanical boost: Once a week, mix into a thicker paste and apply as a mask for 8–10 minutes before rinsing. For an effortless treatment, leave on for a few minutes while you get ready, then rinse.

Use morning and/or evening.

STEP 2 : REPLENISH WITH ZEN ALGAE ELIXIR

After cleansing, apply a few drops of Zen Algae Elixir to clean, slightly damp skin.

Gently press and massage into the face and neck, allowing the nourishing botanical oils and marine active to absorb.

For a boosted ritual: Use with your fingertips or a gua sha for a gentle facial massage. Spend a few minutes working across the face and along the jaw and neck whenever skin needs a more lifted, refreshed-looking appearance and a moment of deeper self-care.

Use morning and/or evening, or whenever skin needs extra nourishment and comfort.

Caution: For external use only. Discontinue use if irritation occurs. Keep out of reach of children. Store in cool, dry place.

Two Cultures. One Modern Ritual

SOUTH ASIAN & JAPANESE BOTANICAL WISDOM

Pink Ubtan and Zen Elixir were selected as the starting point for the Beauty Cleanse ritual because they address two essential moments in every routine.

Pink Ubtan focuses on what your skin is exposed to and what you remove.

Zen Algae Elixir focuses on what you put back.

First, Pink Ubtan gently cleanses using a heritage-inspired, plant-rich, fragrance-free formula that helps skin reset without harsh, barrier-disrupting ingredients.

Then, Zen Elixir follows with marine algae, calming extracts, omega-rich botanicals and skin-supporting lipids to help replenish the skin after cleansing.

Together, they represent the Beauty Cleanse philosophy:

Ancient plant intelligence. Modern skin understanding. A more balanced way forward.

The Beauty Cleanse 'Standard'

Made with intention. Never at the expense of skin balance.

Face Serum ZEN ALGAE ELIXIR

CONSCIOUS BY DESIGN

BETTER FOR YOUR SKIN. MORE THOUGHFUL FOR THE PLANET

Pink Ubtan contains upcycled rice, while Zen Algae Elixir features upcycled carrot, giving valuable plant ingredients that might otherwise go unused a second life in skincare.

From thoughtfully sourced and upcycled ingredients to fragrance-free formulas and 100% recyclable packaging, every element of The Skin Balance Duo is designed with both skin and planet in mind.

Because conscious skincare should care for what touches your skin, and the world those ingredients come from.

FAQS

How do I add The Skin Balance Duo to my skincare routine?

The Skin Balance Duo is designed to simplify your routine, not complicate it. Both formulas are gentle, barrier-conscious and compatible with most skincare ingredients, so they should not interfere with your existing skincare routine.

However, to truly experience the philosophy behind the duo, we recommend giving your skin a break from the noise. For the first few weeks, try using Pink Ubtan + Zen Algae Elixir as your simple two-step routine, without layering multiple additional actives or treatments.

Step 1 — Pink Ubtan Powder Cleanser
Cleanse with Pink Ubtan to gently refresh and renew the skin. If you wear makeup or sunscreen, use your preferred first cleanse beforehand.

Step 2 — Zen Algae Elixir
Apply Zen Algae Elixir to replenish and nourish the skin after cleansing.

The Skin Balance Duo is about giving overstimulated skin a little less to process - while still giving it exactly what it needs.

Cleanse. Replenish. Come back to balance.

Is just two steps enough for my skin?

Our skin doesn't need multiple layers to enjoy a healthy and balanced state. The Skin Balance Duo was created around a simple principle: cleanse thoughtfully, replenish generously. Pink Ubtan and Zen Algae Elixir work together to help simplify an overloaded routine while supporting healthy-looking, balanced skin.

What skin types is The Skin Balance Duo suitable for?

The duo is designed for most skin types, including normal, dry, dehydrated, combination and oily skin. If your skin is particularly reactive, do a quick patch test first.

Is it suitable for sensitive and eczema-prone skin types?

Yes! Both products in this collection are formulated to be gentle yet effective, making them suitable for sensitive, eczema-prone, and acne-prone skin. Always do the patch test first as skin is individual, so experiences can vary.

When do we use this?

For optimal results, it's best incorporated into your nighttime skincare routine.

But, you can use the Zen Algae Elixir both day and night. Best used under makeup to keep skin hydrated all day long.

Is Zen Algae Elixir suitable for oily or combination skin?

Yes. Oily skin can still benefit from nourishing oils, and Zen Algae Elixir is designed to replenish without making the routine feel unnecessarily heavy. Start with a few drops and adjust to your skin's preference.

Are these free from synthetic fragrance and parfum?

Totally! We never use Parfum and synthetic fragrance in any of our skincare products.

How long will it take to see a difference?

Every skin is different, and results depend on your skin's condition and consistency of use. We recommend using the duo consistently for a few weeks and observing how your skin looks and feels over time. With consistent use, it gives excellent results.
