Because a cleanser should care for your skin, not compromise it. So many formulas strip your barrier or leave behind residue. Bare Necessity was developed by Dr. Sam (our brand co-founder and board-certified dermatologist) to be different: a hyaluronic-acid-powered wash that removes SPF, makeup, and impurities while keeping your barrier balanced. Think fresh, soft, hydrated skin that’s never tight or squeaky. Because the first step in your routine should set you up for healthy skin, not wreck it.
Gently massage one to two pumps into damp skin. Rinse and pat dry. Use twice daily, morning and night. For best results, follow with Dew You and Barely There.
Our formulas aren’t the only thing that’s clinically-kind. Every step of our process is designed to be easy on the planet, too.
Carbon-neutral shipping with 100% compostable, biodegradable materials.
Tree-free packaging that’s fluorocarbon, BPA, chlorine, and dye-free.
No added chemicals or bleaching — just clean, planet-friendly design.
Because good skin should be easy on you and the earth.
