Clean, not stripped

A cleanser should leave skin with everything it needs and nothing it does not. Cleansing Gel refines texture over time while it cleans, so the daily step becomes a daily treatment.

Reviewers most often mention: soothingly thick for a gel, rinses with no residue, softer skin within weeks, and how long a bottle lasts.

Cleansing Gel
Why you need it

Why your skin needs this

Most gel cleansers are built to foam, and foam comes from sulfates that strip the lipids your barrier is made of. Skin feels clean for a minute, then tight, then oily or red by the afternoon as it overcorrects. For sensitive or stressed skin, that cycle is the problem.

Cleansing Gel is a thick, soothing gel that cleans by decongesting rather than stripping. Shiitake, mesima and oyster mushrooms deliver polysaccharides that hydrate and calm while you wash. Orange peel brightens and clarifies. Red clover purifies and rebalances. The tiniest pump takes care of your whole face and neck, and skin comes out fresh, soft and balanced.

Points of difference

Regenerate. Restore. Reset.

HAOMA was built on one idea: most skin is not old, it is stressed. Anxiety, dehydration, mineral depletion and environmental stressors age skin faster than the calendar does. So every formula treats the cause and the symptom at once.

Spiritus Vitae™Our proprietary complex of 16 clinically studied botanicals and actives, in every formula, so the base of each product is doing as much work as its headline ingredient.
Full-spectrum CBDDosed, disclosed and paired with adaptogens like skullcap and ginseng to calm the stress response that ages skin biologically, not just chronologically.
The Forbidden ListNo SLS/SLES, parabens, phthalates, petroleum, artificial colors or fragrances, GMOs, cyclic silicones or contaminants. If it is on the list, it is not in the jar.
Root-cause formulationWe treat what actually ages skin: stress, dehydration, mineral depletion and environmental damage, not just the wrinkle it leaves behind.
One purchase, one treeEvery order plants a tree with Trees.org. More than 10,500 planted so far.
Nothing to landfill100% recyclable packaging and free TerraCycle recycling for every empty. Reusable tins and jars by design.

How HAOMA is different

Science-backed. Nature-rooted.

HAOMA started with a question most skincare brands skip: why does skin age faster than it should? The answer is stress, in all its forms: anxiety, dehydration, mineral depletion and the environment. So we built three collections to answer it. Cannabidiol, with full-spectrum CBD and adaptogens to calm the stress response. Earth, with minerals to replace what modern life depletes. Mycelium, with mushroom actives to repair and protect.

Every formula carries our Spiritus Vitae™ complex, sixteen botanicals and actives with published studies behind them, and every formula obeys the Forbidden List. We are vegan and cruelty-free, our packaging is fully recyclable with free TerraCycle returns, and every single purchase plants a tree.

Frequently asked questions

Does it contain CBD?

No. Cleansing Gel is part of the Mycelium collection, which is CBD-free. It pairs well with the CBD Night Cream and Eye Cream.

Cleansing Gel or Cleansing Balm?

Cleansing Balm is an oil balm that melts makeup and SPF. Cleansing Gel is a water-based daily cleanser. Many customers use the balm first at night, then the gel, and the gel alone in the morning.

Is it good for oily or acne-prone skin?

Yes. It decongests pores without stripping, which is what keeps oily skin from overproducing.

Is HAOMA vegan and cruelty-free?

Yes. Every HAOMA formula is vegan and never tested on animals.

What is the Forbidden List?

The list of ingredients we refuse to use: SLS/SLES, parabens, phthalates, petroleum, artificial colors, contaminants, GMOs, toxins, artificial fragrances and cyclic silicones.

Will CBD skincare make me feel anything?

No. Topical CBD does not enter the bloodstream in a way that produces any psychoactive effect. It works locally on the skin to calm and support the barrier.

What is your shipping and return policy?

Free 2-day shipping on orders over $50 in the US, and a 30-day return window. Subscribe & Save takes 15% off every delivery.

What happens to my empties?

All HAOMA packaging is 100% recyclable, and we offer free recycling through TerraCycle for anything your local program will not take.
