Understanding our science and technology

What does gentle cleansing mean, why is it important?

Gentle cleansing preserves the skin’s lipid barrier and microbiome, crucial for hydration and defense. Our barrier, rich in lipids and ceramides, locks in moisture and blocks irritants, but harsh cleansers can lead to water loss and irritation. Mild, pH-balanced formulas (4.5-5.5) maintain this balance, protecting beneficial bacteria and preventing dryness. Ultimately, gentle cleansing supports long-term skin health, hydration, and resilience against environmental stressors.

How does this cleanser work?

Our Befikar Begum Gentla Face Cleanser, with a skin-friendly pH of 5.5, combines gentle, non-sulfate surfactants with hydrating panthenol and glycerin.Probiotics balance your microbiome, while aloe, gotu kola, and a superfood blend—spinach, cucumber, moringa, alfalfa, and coriander—nourish deeply. This powerhouse formula cleanses effectively, preserving hydration and supporting barrier health, making it perfect for radiant, balanced skin every day!

Get these to complete your routine.
