UMA Deeply Clarifying Neem Charcoal Cleanser
Read Reviews and Questions
Made with luxurious healing botanical, this cleanser banishes acne-causing bacteria, calms inflammation, and nourishes the skin. Our generations-old family formula ensures that the blemish-prone or irritated skin becomes brightened and hydrated
When the Uma founder’s great aunt was a young bride-to-be in rural India, pre-wedding anxiety sent her skin into a frenzy weeks before the big ceremony. Seeing her daughter’s frustration, her mother – an avid botanist, with a deep understanding of Ayurvedic scripture – formulated a powerful regimen of clarifying and healing botanicals to specifically to treat her blemishes. It was so effective that not only was her daughter’s flawless complexion renewed in time for her wedding, but her teenage son began using it, too, and the blends have been a well-kept family secret, until now.
