What's Inside

Seafoam Revive Cleanser (150mL)
An innovative oil-to-foam double cleanser. It starts as a silky oil texture to dissolve waterproof sunscreen and salt, then transforms into a rich foam to wash away impurities, leaving skin refreshed and hydrated.

Sea Shield Water Cream (50mL)
A lightweight water cream designed to restore hydration and comfort after exposure to sun and salt.

Sea Silk Hair Serum (100mL)
A leave-in serum that smooths, softens, and restores shine to sun- and salt-stressed hair.

Three essential steps designed to reset skin and hair after ocean or pool days.

How the Ritual Works

Step 1 – Deep Reset: Wash away the salt, keep the glow.
Experience the magic of oil-to-foam. It targets stubborn waterproof SPF, makeup, and the day’s buildup — leaving your skin breathing and bare—never stripped.

Step 2 – Instant Rebound: Quench your skin’s post-dive thirst.
Salt and sun steal your moisture; we bring it back. This weightless water cream sinks in instantly to calm heat-stressed skin and lock in deep hydration before the dryness sets in.

Step 3 – Silk Armor: Say goodbye to 'crunchy' hair.
Transform salt-stiffened strands into liquid silk. This serum coats each hair fiber to detangle instantly and protect against the lingering damage of ocean exposure.

Used together, the system helps reset skin and hair so today’s exposure doesn’t carry into tomorrow.
