For over a year and a half, the Les Petits Prödiges team has been working tirelessly on a new product... and it is with joy and pride that we can finally unveil it to you!
The Cleansing Powder is an innovative, 100% natural face cleanser that transforms into an airy foam on contact with water. It gently removes impurities and reveals a radiant complexion, without ever drying or irritating the skin.
Another way to approach the essential cleansing step, with a gesture that is both fun, customizable, and sensorial ✨
True to our less is more philosophy, its short and intelligible formula consists of only 5 active ingredients, to which we have added our 2 flagship fragrances: the gourmet Coconut 🥥 and the iconic Cotton Flower 🌸 And of course, its beautiful aluminum bottle is 100% infinitely recyclable ♻
We're telling you all about this magical powder!
Why a powder cleanser?
For Camille and Clémentine, the co-founders of Les Petits Prödiges, the range was missing a fundamental product in any beauty routine: a face cleanser!
But several challenges presented themselves: this future cleanser had to be 100% natural, gentle, effective, easy to use, and above all, contained in the most eco-responsible packaging possible. The Face Cleansing Powder meets all these criteria dear to our commitments and our vision of cosmetics.
Designed as a nomadic and economical product, this completely anhydrous "powder-to-foam" only requires a few drops of water to be activated, making it a lightweight product in a compact format that is practical to take with you when traveling. No more unpleasant surprises from cleansing gel accidentally leaking into your toiletry bag! A 25g bottle is equivalent to approximately 60 uses, or a duration of 2 months.
The advantage of a powder cleanser is also the absence of added preservatives! Indeed: the absence of water in the formulation naturally protects the product from potential bacterial contamination. Ideal for intolerant and allergic skin that tends to react to the presence of preservatives.
Its natural active ingredients
Cosmetics without water means concentrated active ingredients! Did you know that hygiene and beauty products can contain up to 95% water? Minimalist and easy to decipher, the formula of our face cleanser contains only 6 ingredients that have not been previously diluted, unlike aqueous products. Kept dry, their effectiveness and benefits are boosted 💥
For the cleansing action, we have selected two of the gentlest foaming agents on the market, respectful of your hydrolipidic film. They eliminate impurities on the skin's surface, without drying or disturbing the fragile balance of the skin microbiota. No more tight sensations after cleansing!
We've added a very slightly exfoliating agent, ultra-fine organic rice powder, which smooths the skin's texture and reveals a brighter complexion. This "velvet effect" ingredient, suitable for all skin types, even the most sensitive, has been used for centuries in Asia for its extreme gentleness. Reduced to microscopic particles, this silky powder gently removes dead skin cells and helps unclog pores, without causing the inflammation characteristic of grainy scrubs.
Our tips for a perfect cleanse
Cleansing your face daily is THE key to healthy skin! At Les Petits Prödiges, we are advocates of double cleansing, a skin-friendly method that you absolutely must adopt for gently purified skin.
If you wear makeup or sunscreen, we recommend starting with a first cleanse using an oil or cleansing balm.
Our Multi-Purpose Balm, thanks to its oily formula, helps get rid of maximum impurities accumulated throughout the day (sebum, cosmetic products, pollution).
● Warm a pea-sized amount of balm between your palms then gently massage your face;
● Use a damp reusable cotton pad to easily remove excess balm.
The second cleanse dissolves any remaining oily film and stubborn impurities.
● Sprinkle a little powder into the palm of your hand (about half a teaspoon) and add a few drops of water;
● Rub: you'll instantly get a fine, generous foam;
● Massage your face in circular motions, then rinse.
You can, of course, use it alone if you don't feel the need for a first cleanse 😉 Don't forget to moisturize your face immediately after with a product adapted to your skin type.
