Awaken. Cleanse. Protect Your Glow.

Step 1 of the P.I.E. Ritual™ — Protect

Your skin deserves a beginning that honors it. Awaken Facial Cleanser is the first step of the P.I.E. Ritual™ — a gentle, botanically powered cleanse that removes impurities without stripping the moisture melanin-rich skin depends on. Every morning. Every evening. This is where your ritual begins.

  • Melanin-rich, Black & Brown skin
  • Dry, dull, or uneven skin tone
  • Skin prone to ashiness or tightness after cleansing
  • All skin types, including sensitive

Skin Concerns Addressed

  • Dryness & dehydration
  • Dullness & uneven tone
  • Post-cleanse tightness
  • Hyperpigmentation support

Key Ingredients

  • Licorice Root — Natural brightener; calms inflammation and dark spots
  • Tremella Mushroom — Holds 500x its weight in water; deep hydration without heaviness
  • Plant-Based Surfactants — Cleanse thoroughly without disrupting your skin barrier

How to Use

  1. Wet face with warm water
  2. Apply a small amount to fingertips and massage gently onto skin in circular motions

The Ingredient Story

Awaken was formulated with one question in mind: what does melanin-rich skin actually need from a cleanser? The answer — hydration preservation, tone support, and barrier protection. Cocoa Extract delivers antioxidant defense. Licorice Root addresses the hyperpigmentation that disproportionately affects deeper skin tones. Tremella Mushroom, nature's most powerful humectant, ensures your skin retains moisture through every cleanse. No sulfates. No synthetic stripping agents. Just botanical intelligence, working with your skin.
