A Vitamin C powder wash that brightens without any acid activity, making it the most accessible exfoliating cleanser in the line for skin that can't tolerate daily AHAs. With a potent combination of stable Vitamin C, natural fruit and flower enzymes, and gentle hydrators, Sunapee gently polishes the complexion without stripping it of essential moisture for increased radiance and luminosity. The result: brighter, more even skin built into the step you're already doing.

What it feels like

Activates into a light paste (more powder = more scrub) or a foamy lather (more water = gentler cleanse). Adjust the ratio to suit your skin that day.

Top benefits

— Zero acid activity: enzyme exfoliation that brightens without irritating
— Five brightening actives including stable Vitamin C, Kojic Acid, and Licorice Root
— Customizable intensity: adjust powder-to-water ratio to control exfoliation level
— Travel-friendly powder format

Bentonite, Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, Kaolin, Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Powder, Hibiscus Sabdariffa Flower Powder, Maltodextrin, Bambusa Arundinacea Stem Extract, Zea Mays (Corn) Starch, 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, Papain, Bromelain, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Powder, Kojic Acid, Aloe Barbadensis (Aloe Vera) Leaf Juice Powder, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Liquid Endosperm, Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Powder, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Powder, Rubus Idaeus (Raspberry) Seed Powder, Vaccinium, Corymbosum (Blueberry) Seed Powder, Sodium Hyaluronate, Acacia Senegal (Acacia) Gum

Pore Confession: More powder than water = stronger scrub. More water than powder = light, foamy cleanse. Adjust the ratio to suit your skin that day.

Warning: External use only. Avoid direct contact with eyes.

Skin feels clean, smooth, and lightly brightened.

A good skincare routine requires dedication (that's on you) – With consistent use, skin appears visibly brighter and more even-toned.

Understanding Vitamin C Derivatives

Despite traditional Vitamin C's (aka Ascorbic Acid) notorious instability in cosmetic formulations, derivatives like Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate and 3-O-Ethyl-L-Ascorbic Acid rise above to deliver maximum results without the shortened shelf life or oxidative risks. These oil-soluble derivatives don't just boast enhanced stability to preserve their efficacy, their superior skin penetration capabilities optimize the absorption and delivery of vitamin C's high-performance benefits like brightening, antioxidant defense, and the stimulation of collagen synthesis while remaining gentle enough for sensitive skin types.

Our key ingredients

  • 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid

    Highly-stable derivate form of Vitamin C, this powerful skin brightener can help defend against the visible effects of environmental stress, improve the look of hyperpigmentation, and support a brighter, more even-looking complexion.

  • Kojic Acid

    Potent skin-brightening agent derived from mushrooms, it helps even out skin tone and support skin’s moisture balance.

  • Hibiscus Flower Powder

    As a natural source of alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs), hibiscus flower powder allows for natural chemical exfoliation which helps improve the appearance of hyperpigmentation and uneven skin texture.

  • Bromelain + Papain

    Pineapple and papaya-derived fruit enzymes that contain natural exfoliating properties to aid in smoothing and brightening support.

love, love, love this wash

"this wash was a life saver on my last trip to florida. not only is it convenient for traveling, but you can also tailor it to the needs of your skin - i knew my skin was getting a lot of sun and i didn't want an intense exfoliation, so i added more water and it was a softer cleanse. when using it in a more potent way, i noticed an even more brighter skin tone. one of my faves"

— Christine (5/5)

Best in-shower face wash!

"Never loved washing my face so much! Just the right amount of scrub to feel clean and yet so gentle."

— Carm F. (5/5)

Perfect pick me up!

"This is the perfect pick me up for my skin when it’s especially congested and dull. I’ve been using about twice a week. The exfoliant is gentle and leaves my sensitive skin feeling clean, smooth, and brighter!"

— Sam (5/5)

Cleansing and refreshing

"This is my favorite face wash! It's the perfect balance of being a super gentle exfoliant but with a nourishing and soothing lather. It leaves my skin feeling thoroughly cleansed and refreshed without any irritation. No scent and perfect for day or night. A little powder goes a long way."

— Margaux (5/5)
