Maya Chia The Meringue Melt | Skin-Softening Cleanser

ABOUT

THE MERINGUE MELTRegenerating, Skin-Softening Cleanser uses Smart-Cleansing Technology, a clinically-designed system combining a Triple Exfoliation Complex (chemical, enzymatic, and physical) with skin-repairing hydrators and barrier-strengthening actives.

This gentle yet high-performance formula pairs Mandelic Acid and a Five-Fruit AHA Complex with Fermented Sake Extract and ultra-fine rice powder microspheres to visibly smooth, brighten, and resurface the skin without disrupting the skin barrier.

At the same time, Pentavitin™, bioavailable chia seed oil, and sugarcane-derived squalane provide additional lasting hydration and support skin repair long after rinsing. It is the perfect recipe for better, brighter skin.

THE SCIENCE

THE MERINGUE MELT  is powered by Smart-Cleansing Technology™, a layered system designed to deliver clinical-level exfoliation and deep skin nourishment in a single step, making it ideal for sensitive or compromised skin types.

At the core is a Triple Exfoliation Complex that works across multiple pathways:

• Chemical exfoliation is powered by Mandelic Acid (an AHA with a larger molecular size, ideal for sensitive skin), which gently loosens the bonds between dead skin cells, revealing brighter, smoother skin with minimal irritation.
• Enzymatic exfoliation comes from Fermented Sake Extract, rich in kojic acid and natural enzymes that help dissolve dull surface buildup while promoting an even tone.
• Physical exfoliation is delivered through ultra-fine, rounded rice powder particles, which gently polish the surface without causing microtears or inflammation, even on delicate or reactive skin.

To counterbalance the exfoliation and reinforce the skin barrier, THEMERINGUE MELT incorporates a reparative hydration matrix:

• Pentavitin™ (a plant-derived saccharide) binds to keratin in the stratum corneum, creating a moisture reservoir that delivers up to 72 hours of hydration even after rinsing.
• Allantoin, a skin-repairing molecule derived from the comfrey plant, works as a natural keratolytic to encourage cell turnover while soothing irritation and supporting healing, especially after exfoliation.
• Sugarcane-derived squalane mimics skin’s own sebum to replenish lipids and reduce transepidermal water loss.
• Supercritically-extracted chia seed oil, rich in omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants, nourishes the skin and helps calm inflammation that accelerates signs of aging.
• Polysaccharides, sourced from natural botanical extracts, form a breathable shield on the skin to help lock in moisture, reduce inflammation, and stimulate epidermal regeneration.

CONSUMER USAGE STUDY

1. Apply to wet or dry skin and massage gently in circular motions for 30–60 seconds.
2. Add water to emulsify, then rinse thoroughly.
3. Use daily, morning or evening. Ideal as the second step in a double cleanse or on its own.
