Why It’s Special

The un-cream cleanser

We wanted our cream cleanser to be different: light, silky, and easy-rinsing, without any greasiness. This delicate milky liquid cleanses thoroughly and rinses effortlessly, for comfortable, renewed skin.

Hydrates with every wash

Dry skin types, look no further. This is our most hydrating cleanser, with natural ingredients like Marshmallow Root, which help skin retain moisture for soft, supple skin.

Gently renewing

Enzymes from Mucor Miehei Extract break down dead skin cells to effectively exfoliate without any harsh astringents or physical scrubbing. It’s the satisfying exfoliation you crave, just gentler.

Easy on all skin

Acne, redness, and sensitivity call for a calming cleanser. This soothing formula delivers all the benefits of a good daily wash, without stripping your skin of moisture.

Refreshingly different

Nothing to hide here. Just naturally awesome ingredients that help you achieve your healthiest, happiest skin.

Q: Should I use Milky Cleanser or Fantastic Face Wash? Which cleanser is right for my skin type?

A: Nourishing relief for those with sensitive and dry skin, Making Moves Milky Cleanser offers a gentle cleanse without sacrificing that “full-on clean” feel. Also a winner for those with normal skin who simply crave a gentler touch. If you have combination or oily skin, you may benefit from our Fantastic Face Wash.


Q: How often should I use it?

A: We like using it twice a day, in the AM and PM (or just once if you only wash your face once a day) to reveal soft and smooth skin.


Q: What is the aroma?

A: A light, uplifting aroma of Ginger and Bergamot.

    Hydrating and clearing

    Love this cleanser, it is very hydrating and gentle. It has also really improved my skin texture and reduced my breakouts to basically zero. I love the very very mild scent. Also A+ customer service, the first bottle I was sent had a defective pump and they quickly replaced it.

    Ideal for Sensitive Skin - Do Your Research

    I felt compelled to leave a review after seeing "Linda's" negative experience. You have to know that milky cleansers by nature are gentler than other cleansers - specifically for sensitive skin. Nowhere on this web page does it claim to remove makeup. Cleansers that can do that effectively will also dry out sensitive skin. You need to use one of their face wipes to remove makeup first, then use this cleanser after. I don't wear makeup except for special occasions, so this isn't a problem for me. Just buy a bag of wipes if you are a regular makeup wearer. The scent is perfectly light. Those of us with sensitive skin and redness really appreciate this product. It does what it was designed to do. As for the brand, it's pretty offensive to leave a review claiming they're a scam when you know nothing about their founder or their mission. Again, do your research. Ursa Major was developed as the antithesis to big city boutiques that charge hundreds for a single product and don't deliver results. Your lack of knowledge about the product you bought and unfounded accusations say more about you than them. To those with an open mind (and sensitive skin!) - give this cleanser a try as long as you know upfront what it does and does not promise to do. If you wear 10 pounds of mascara on a daily basis - go for a stronger cleanser.
