Long known for its cult-favorite cleansing balm, Eve Lom is building out its offerings in the category.
Its new foaming cream cleanser, which is going into full distribution, can be used with the brand’s other cleansers or on its own, said Todd Davidson, the brand’s global education consultant.
“There are so many cleansing balms on the market now,” Davidson said. “What’s unique is that we can really speak to the ability to double cleanse. It’s a great way to do a double cleanse if you start with the cleansing balm,” he said.
The launch is meant to give optionality to the brand’s existing consumers, he added. “We are offering a new texture to Eve Lom fans,” he said. “All of our cleansers you usually use with dry hands and a dry face. But this i activated with water. It foams nicely.”
The cleanser also has a 12-hour hydration claim, thanks to the glycerin and hyaluronic acid present in the formula.
The cleanser initially launched d-to-c, and is rolling out into the brand’s distribution partners, which include Space NK, Macy’s and Bloomingdale’s. Davidson did not comment on sales, although when the brand was acquired by Yatsen last year, sources estimated sales of $17 million to $18 million.
Peach & Lily Ginger Melt Oil Cleanser

$32 at Ulta Beauty and Peachandlily.com.
Despite wanting to launch the Peach & Lily brand with an oil cleanser, founder Alicia Yoon took years to perfect her latest launch.
The Ginger Melt Oil Cleanser, which took six years to formulate properly, took dozens of tweaks to achieve Yoon’s vision of a do-it-all product.
“It’s easier said than done. You have your skin microbiome and skin barrier, and you want to be respectful of all of that while still dissolving the oil-based impurities on your skin. When it comes to cosmetic chemistry, I’ve learned through all the formulating and six years it took, it’s no easy feat to get all of those things in one piece,” Yoon said.
Although it took some persuasion with Yoon’s suppliers — “we actually had some feedback from our lab partners saying, ‘Why don’t you just release this, because consumers won’t care,'” she said — she preferred to find a balance between purifying oils and a formula that fully emulsifies.
“We have a phrase where we say our products are ‘crafted with zero compromises,'” she said. “It’s important to make sure it lives up to our community’s standards.”
Yoon did not comment on sales expectations for the cleanser, although industry sources think it could reach $3 million in retail sales during its first year on the market.

Available in June for $45 at Livecostabrazil.com.
Costa Brazil may be making its first entry into the cleansing segment, but it won’t be the last.
“Skin is one of the categories that is very fundamental to the brand,” said Francisco Costa, founder and chief executive officer. “We plan to have several different types of cleansers as we go along.”
The brand’s first cleanser takes on a few different phases: starting off as an oil cleanser, it transitions into a gel-like texture before foaming on contact with water.
“Oils have always been a strong category for us,” Costa said. “It’s very experiential, and we’ve been working on this cleanser for about a year now.”
Marketing the cleanser will include various clinical studies, although Costa expects the low price point to resonate with new customers. “It is a $45 opening price point, which is a very good value for the product,” he said. “It’s $90 for the face oil, and $125 for the body oil. This really brings the brand to a different audience.”
Industry sources think the brand will do $10 million at retail in 2022, although Costa did not comment on the estimates.

$18 at Getskp.com and Ulta Beauty.
Just ahead of the brand’s one-year anniversary, sk*p launched its eco-conscious face and body care products at Ulta on April 3. Among the products that landed at the beauty retailer both online and in more than 700 stores is Face + Body Cleanser. Formulated with vitamin B5, avocado fruit extract and the brand’s proprietary complex, g-honeybiome, the cleanser brightens skin by balancing the skin’s microbiome.
“We have a farm in upstate New York that grows our proprietary echinacea; we put bees on that farm, and that’s the honey we bioferment and use in our g-honeybiome complex” said sk*p cofounder Mark Veeder.
Partnering with Ulta allows sk*p increased opportunity to connect with its Gen Z consumer base, whom the company kept in mind when designing its recyclable carton packaging. “Ulta has a huge footprint with Gen Z; it pulls those Gen Z consumers for whom sustainability is a huge issue, and who are very committed to their conscious beauty,” Veeder said.
Veeter did not share product sales expectations, but industry sources estimate the Face + Body Cleanser did $100,000 in its first year of direct-to-consumer sales and will do $1.3 million in sales in its first 12 months at Ulta.

Available for $18.50 at Everyday-humans.com.
Hailed for its cult-favorite sunscreens, Everyday Humans has expanded its post-sun care capabilities into cleansing with its Ease Up PHA Watery Oil Cleanser. Designed to make post-sun care a more comprehensive process, the cleanser doubles as a light exfoliant and addresses skin concerns prone to arise after a day spent soaking up sun rays.
“Post-sun care doesn’t have to just be an aloe vera mist,” said Charlotte Pienaar, the brand’s founder. “It can actually be a skin care routine for after you’ve been attacked by the sun. We wanted to design a cleanser that can effectively remove traces of SPF, residual makeup and impurities while doubling as a mild exfoliant.”
The cleanser is formulated with PHA, mandelic acid and lactic acid to tackle effects of sun damage such as uneven skin texture. It also contains upcycled green fig extract for its brightening properties, marking the brand’s first foray into upcycled beauty.
Pienaar did not specify sales expectations, but industry sources estimate it to reach between $250,000 and $500,000 for its first year on the market.
