I Made This For Us

I wanted a routine that fits into the chaos of motherhood without becoming one more thing to manage. 

It’s a gentle hydrating cleanser, an exfoliant you can use every day, a moisturizer that feels like a cloud,, and a balm for lips, nipples, and anywhere else that needs it, all working together to take care of you while you’re busy taking care of everyone else.

Everything You Need and Nothing You Don’t

Based on a 14-day U.S. consumer perception study of 110 women, including pregnant and breastfeeding women. See our Safety Statement.

Glycerin — 15%

At 15%, this cleanser contains significantly more glycerin than most moisturizers use (typically 3–5%). The intentionally high level helps counteract the moisture loss that typically accompanies cleansing, leaving skin feeling hydrated and comfortable after rinsing — not tight.

Natural Betaine — 1%

An osmoprotectant naturally found in sugar beets, extracted here from the upcycled side stream of sugar production. Helps skin cells manage water balance and supports the skin barrier function over time, complementing glycerin's immediate hydrating effect.

D-Panthenol (Provitamin B5) — 1.5%

Provitamin B5, at a meaningful 1.5% concentration. Known for its moisturizing, soothing, and anti-inflammatory properties — particularly effective at calming sensitized or reactive skin, making it well-suited for the skin changes that can accompany hormonal shifts.

Apricot Kernel Oil

A lightweight emollient that contributes to the cleanser's ability to dissolve makeup without a double-cleanse step. Leaves skin feeling conditioned, not stripped, and rinses clean without residue.

Sulphate-Free Surfactant Blend

Four sulphate-free cleansing agents — two coconut-derived, one amino acid-derived, one glucose-derived — chosen together for the gentlest effective profile available. They produce a cushiony, low-irritation lather that cleans without disrupting the skin's natural pH or surface lipids.

5-Second Answers from Dr. Aegean

You just want someone to tell you what actually works. My job is to look at the actual research and tell you what really matters, without the fear and without the confusion.

Is everything in this routine appropriate during pregnancy and postpartum?

Yes, which means one less thing to second-guess. The cleanser, moisturizer, exfoliant, and balm were thoughtfully formulated for all stages of motherhood, including pregnancy and postpartum. Each formula is reviewed by an independent toxicologist and developed with ingredients that have well-established safety profiles at conservative concentrations. For more information, read our full Safety Statement.

Are these products safe for sensitive skin?

Yes, this cleanser, exfoliant, moisturizer, and balm were formulated with sensitive and reactive skin in mind. They have been evaluated through an independently administered Repeat Insult Patch Test (RIPT), including individuals with sensitive skin—a standard dermatologic test used to assess irritation potential over time. While no product can be guaranteed for everyone, this testing supports that the formula is well-tolerated when used as directed, even for sensitive skin.

Can this cleanser remove makeup, and is it gentle around the eyes?

Yes. The Take a Sec Cleanser removes makeup, sunscreen, and the day in one step, so you do not need to double cleanse. It was also evaluated with the EpiOcular Eye Irritation Test and considered a non-ocular irritant, which supports gentle use around the eye area when used as directed.

Is the moisturizer non-comedogenic and okay for breakout-prone skin?

Yes, this moisturizer was evaluated through independent non-comedogenic testing, a standard dermatologic assessment to determine whether a product is likely to clog pores when used as directed. In testing, the formula did not show a tendency to contribute to comedone (clogged pore) formation. As with all skincare, individual responses can vary, but the testing supports that it is appropriate for acne- and breakout-prone skin.

How is the exfoliant different from a traditional scrub or liquid exfoliant?

This powder exfoliant is activated with water and forms a lovely soft paste that uses gentle enzymes to smooth skin without the harsh abrasion of physical scrubs or the sting often associated with stronger liquid acids. The powder format allows for gentle controlled exfoliation while respecting the skin barrier. Exfoliation, without the drama.

Can I use the balm while nursing and where else can I use the balm?

Yes. The Everything is Fine Balm is safe for nursing when used as directed, with no need to wipe off before feeding. Remove any visible excess for comfort, and use it on clean, intact skin as needed. See our Safety Statement.

Use it anywhere you need barrier support: lips, cuticles, dry patches, and the little irritated spots that show up exactly when you are too tired to deal with them. It is designed to go beyond nursing and become the everyday balm you keep reaching for.
