Exfoliating Honey Cleanser

The Cleanser That Exfoliates,
Absorbs Oil, and Leaves Skin Silky.

Micro-Exfoliating Honey Cleanser is Circadia's beloved daily exfoliating cleanser — gentle enough to use twice a day, effective enough to truly transform skin texture. At the heart of the formula are HoneyBeads® — patented micro-beads of organic beeswax that provide physical exfoliation to lift dead skin cells and absorb excess oil, leaving all skin types feeling fresh, silky, and revitalized. Unlike synthetic plastic microbeads, HoneyBeads® are fully biodegradable and eco-friendly. Stepan Mild PCL is the pH-balanced cleansing system, using gentle surfactants to generate a comfortable foam that matches the skin's natural pH — thorough without being harsh. Cocamidopropyl Betaine, derived from refined coconut oil, is a gentle, biodegradable foaming agent that enhances lather without stripping moisture. Honey (Mel) adds natural humectancy and nourishing properties, leaving the skin hydrated and comfortable after every cleanse. Particularly effective for oily, congested, and dull or uneven-textured skin that needs regular, gentle resurfacing.

Key Actives

The Science Behind the Cleanser

Eco Exfoliant

HoneyBeads®

Patented micro-beads of organic beeswax (Cera Alba). Gently exfoliates the skin, lifts dead skin cells, and absorbs excess oil — fully biodegradable and eco-friendly. No synthetic plastic microbeads.

pH-Balancing System

Stepan Mild PCL

A mild cleansing system using gentle surfactants that generates foam and matches the skin's natural pH. Results in a thorough cleanse with a comfortable, non-stripped after-feel every time.

Foaming Agent

Cocamidopropyl Betaine

Derived from refined coconut oil — gentle and biodegradable. Enhances lather and cleansing effectiveness without disrupting the skin's natural moisture balance or barrier function.

Natural Humectant

Honey (Mel)

Natural honey provides humectancy and nourishing properties, attracting moisture to the skin and leaving a soft, comfortable feel after cleansing — not the tight, dry sensation of harsher cleansers.

Natural Wax

Copernica Cerifera Wax

Carnauba wax — a natural plant-derived wax that works alongside Cera Alba to create the HoneyBead® microbead structure, providing a smooth, consistent exfoliation texture.

Note

Fragrance Disclosure

This formula contains Parfum/Fragrance, Benzyl Benzoate, and Coumarin. Also contains Honey (Mel). Patch test recommended for fragrance-sensitive individuals or those with bee product allergies.

Benefits

What It Does

Exfoliation

HoneyBeads® gently lift dead skin cells and resurface texture — silky-smooth results with every cleanse.

Oil Absorption

Organic beeswax microbeads naturally absorb excess oil during cleansing for a fresh, balanced finish.

Gentle Cleanse

pH-balanced Stepan Mild PCL removes impurities thoroughly without stripping the skin's natural moisture barrier.

Directions

How to Use

Morning and/or evening. Gentle enough for twice-daily use.

1

Dampen Skin

Wet face with lukewarm water. Damp skin allows the HoneyBeads® to glide smoothly and activate the cleansing foam without abrasion.

2

Lather & Exfoliate

Dispense a small amount (about almond-sized) onto fingertips and apply to the face. Gently lather in circular motions, allowing the HoneyBeads® to exfoliate and absorb oil. Avoid contact with eyes.

3

Rinse & Pat Dry

Rinse well with lukewarm water and pat dry with a clean towel. Follow with your Circadia serum and moisturizer routine.
