Salt & Stone Spirulina & Yuzu Gentle Facial Cleanser — 7.2 oz Hydrating Gel with Hyaluronic Acid & Squalane

Salt & Stone Spirulina & Yuzu Gentle Facial Cleanser is a daily hydrating face wash that removes dirt, SPF, and makeup while maintaining skin moisture with hyaluronic acid and squalane.

This sulfate-free, vegan formula combines seaweed-derived extracts and spirulina with brightening yuzu to cleanse without over-drying. Designed for both men and women, the 7.2 oz pump bottle delivers a lightweight gel that lathers softly and rinses clean, supporting a balanced skin feel after use. The fragrance profile is fresh and citrus-forward from yuzu, and the cleanser is Leaping Bunny certified and free from phthalates, sulfates, and artificial dyes.

How does this cleanser remove makeup and SPF without stripping skin?

The formula uses gentle surfactants that lift oils, sunscreen, and daywear without aggressive detergents. Soothing seaweed and spirulina help preserve skin hydration, while hyaluronic acid attracts moisture back into the surface layers, preventing tightness after rinsing.

• Gentle cleansing agents remove impurities and light makeup.
• Squalane replenishes lipids that protect the skin barrier.
• Hyaluronic acid supports moisture retention post-cleanse.
• Sulfate- and dye-free formulation reduces irritation risk.

Will this work for sensitive or combination skin?

Yes — the blend is intentionally mild and suitable for a range of skin types, including sensitive and combination complexions. The absence of harsh sulfates and the inclusion of calming seaweed extracts help minimize irritation while still effectively cleansing pores and surface oils.

• Low-irritant ingredients for reduced stinging or redness.
• Hydrating actives to prevent over-drying in combination skin.
• Balanced lather that cleanses without leaving residue.
• Vegan and cruelty-free for conscientious shoppers.

What active ingredients should I expect and what do they do?

The key actives include spirulina and red algae extracts for nutritive support, hyaluronic acid for hydration, and squalane for barrier-like moisture. Yuzu provides a citrus scent and may help brighten the skin’s appearance, while the clean surfactants handle cleansing duties.

• Spirulina and red algae: antioxidant-rich sea extracts.
• Hyaluronic acid: draws and holds moisture in the skin.
• Squalane: lightweight emollient that softens and smooths.
• Yuzu: natural citrus note for a fresh scent profile.

How should I incorporate this into my skincare routine?

Use morning and night as the first step to remove impurities and prepare skin for serums or moisturizers. Apply to damp skin, massage gently over face and neck, then rinse thoroughly with warm water; follow with targeted treatments and SPF in the morning.

• Morning: cleanse, apply antioxidant serum, then SPF.
• Evening: cleanse, use treatment products, then moisturize.
• Safe for daily use due to mild surfactants and hydrating actives.
• Pump bottle design for controlled, hygienic dispensing.

Who is this for? Salt & Stone Spirulina & Yuzu Gentle Facial Cleanser is aimed at shoppers who want an everyday, cruelty-free cleanser that balances effective removal of makeup and sunscreen with hydrating ingredients. It suits men and women seeking a mild gel wash that supports skin comfort and moisture, especially those avoiding sulfates, phthalates, and artificial dyes. Choose this cleanser if you want a fresh-scented, ocean-inspired formula that plays well with serums, moisturizers, and daily SPF without leaving skin feeling tight.
