Thousands of Aussie shoppers are thrilled with their skin transformation after making a simple switch in their beauty routine.

After years of washing their face with harsh cleansers, beauty fans have reported jaw-dropping results after embracing a far gentler approach to their skincare.

Edible Beauty's No.1 Belle Frais Cleansing Milk has won more than 20 Natural Beauty Awards and has over 5000 five-star reviews, with fans gushing over its ability to remove impurities without damaging the skin's protective barrier.

The Australian-made product uses bioactive botanicals and antioxidant-rich ingredients that work in harmony with the skin microbiome, in order to restore balance, rather than disrupt it. 

'This cleanser is so gentle, leaves my skin feeling so hydrated, compared to my last cleanser that left my skin feeling dry and tight,' one thrilled customer, Sammy, wrote in a five-star review on the brand's website. 

Hundreds of other consumers have reported how impressed they are with such a nourishing, natural formulation's efficacy, with Edible Beauty's product challenging the widely held belief that to properly remove make up, dirt and excess oil, one needed to use harsh physical exfoliants or foaming cleansers.

While that satisfying lather of the foam and polished, deeply cleansed sensation after rinsing may create an illusion of a healthy skin, the tight 'squeaky' feeling that remains afterward is, in fact, a sign of damage.

Many foaming cleansers, even the products marketed as gentle or natural formulas, strip away oils essential for moisture, causing dryness, irritation and sensitivity.

Your skin’s microbiome protects against environmental stressors and keeps everything in balance. 

When this layer is disrupted, your skin will be more prone to breakouts and premature ageing.

Skincare technology has advanced innumerably and now there are skin barrier-loving cleansers such as the No.1 Belle Frais Cleansing Milk on the market that are just as effective at removing make up, dirt and excess oil without stripping away the skin’s essential barrier.

A nourishing blend of Camellia Seed, Coconut Oil and Sunflower Seed Oil and Soapwort deeply hydrate the skin and improve elasticity while gently removing impurities and excess oil build up.

The Cleansing Milk also gently exfoliates as it cleanses, with Natural AHAs from apple and strawberry extracts brightening dull skin without irritating, while Australian Wattleseed and Salicylic Acid work in tandem to unclog and refine pores, reduce breakouts and increase skin cell turnover.

Thousands of customers who have left the product five-star reviews online confirm that their skin has been transformed since making the switch to a gentle cleansing milk:  'I have used hundreds of different cleansing products, but nothing smells divine like this one,' wrote one. 

'It cleans my skin wonderfully without leaving it dry. I would not go back to using foaming cleansers ever again.'

'The best cleanser I have ever used!!' raved another happy customer. 

'I have been using this cleanser for a couple of years now and I will not use anything else. 

'It’s great for my sensitive skin and does not leave my skin dry. This is one of the best products in the market!! love it!'

Another five-star review confirmed: 'Absolutely love this product. It has helped my breakouts so much and my skin feels fresh, clean, and soft without any dryness.'

Many harsh exfoliants and cleaners strip away the skin's essential protective barrier. When this layer is compromised, skin is more prone to sensitivity, breakouts and premature ageing

'I used to hesitate washing my face because cleansers made my irritation worse, but with Edible Beauty I actually look forward to cleansing. It’s soothing and healing, not stripping. My skin has completely transformed.' 

The Cleansing Milk is massaged into the skin to dissolve make up and impurities, before adding water to create a luxurious milky emulsion before removing with a warm cloth or water. Skin should feel hydrated and soft, not tight.

Founded by naturopath and nutritionist Anna Mitsios in 2014, Edible Beauty's mission was to create products for the skin that are just as pure as what we put in our bodies.

Edible Beauty's product has won more than 20 awards and rave reviews for hydrating and nourishing skin while also effectively removing make up, dirt, and excess oil build up

Working in a fertility clinic, Mitsios became frustrated with the lack of skincare products that were safe for pregnant woman, so set out to create her own. 

Indeed the Cleansing Milk is pregnancy-safe, containing a concentration of less than two per cent salicylic acid.
