The MECCA view

Cleanse without irritation with the unscented version of the Elemis best-selling iconic cleanser. The same best-loved formula, minus the fragrance, now suitable for sensitive skin and use around the eyes without causing irritation*.

Journey through three indulgent textures in one formula. The rich balm melts into a luxurious oil when gently massaged into the skin, before transforming into a hydrating milk on contact with water. The unique formula effortlessly removes long-wear makeup, daily grime and surface pollutants, and deep cleanses and softens as a facial mask.

Packed with a trio of nourishing plant oils, Elderberry, Optimega™ and Bee Friendly Starflower oil, and our superhero algae Padina Pavonica, leaving skin feeling soft, hydrated, and glowing.

Unwind and relax whilst you cleanse, for a balanced spa experience at home.

Key ingredients

Padina Pavonica Ferment: This brown macroalgae, carefully fermented to boost its bioactivity, is rich in antioxidants and essential polysaccharides. The fermentation process enhances its ability to hydrate, firm, and protect the skin. Known for promoting skin elasticity and moisture retention, it helps to smooth the appearance of fine lines while supporting long-term skin health.

Optimega ™ Oil: This blend of wheatgerm and oat oils has been shown to help reduce transepidermal water loss and increase the skin’s smoothness. This nourishing formula supports long-lasting hydration while enhancing the skin’s softness. Ideal for dry or compromised skin, it helps maintain moisture balance and promotes a supple, healthy-looking complexion.

Elderberry Oil: Naturally rich in essential fatty acids and antioxidants, Elderberry Oil helps defend the skin against oxidative stress. It supports a brighter, more radiant appearance while nourishing the skin barrier.

Starflower Oil: Grown and cold-pressed in the UK, this bee-friendly oil is the richest known natural source of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA)—an omega-6 fatty acid vital for maintaining skin hydration and resilience. Starflower Oil helps to soften and smooth the skin, reduce dryness, and promote a more balanced, nourished complexion.
