Transform your daily cleansing routine with Norilum's Dual-Action Purifying & Brightening Facial Cleanser. Expertly handcrafted in New Zealand, this innovative facial bar combines the purifying power of activated charcoal with the nourishing benefits of rice to deliver a customised cleanse for combination skin.

Anyone wanting a natural, eco-friendly facial cleanser

Customized Targeted Cleansing: No more "one-size-fits-all." Use the Charcoal half to deep-clean your oily T-zone (nose, chin, forehead) and the Rice half to nourish your delicate cheeks and under-eye area.
Gentle Barrier Protection: Formulated with SCI (Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate)—a soap-free, pH-balanced cleanser that lifts dirt without stripping the essential lipids your skin needs to stay healthy and hydrated.
Advanced Skin Smoothing: Hydrolysed Silk and Rice Proteins work together to refine the surface of your skin, leaving a velvety-soft finish and a visible "glow" that liquid cleansers can't replicate.
Detox Without Dryness: Activated Charcoal acts as a magnet for toxins and blackheads, while Tea Tree Essential Oil provides natural antimicrobial support to keep breakouts at bay.
Concentrated Nutrient Delivery: Because our bars are waterless, they deliver a much higher potency of Vitamin E and Premium Fatty Acids directly to your pores.
Eco-Luxe Sustainability: One bar replaces two plastic bottles. You get a premium, salon-quality facial treatment that is 100% plastic-free, zero-waste, and travel-friendly.

Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, Cetyl Alcohol, Carbon (Activated Charcoal), Hydrolysed Rice Protein, Tocopherol (Vitamin E), Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Oil, Boswellia Carterii (Frankincense) Oil.

Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate (SCI): Known as "Baby Foam," this is a gentle, coconut-derived surfactant that creates a luxurious lather without stripping the skin’s natural oils.

Cetyl Alcohol: A skin-friendly fatty alcohol (not to be confused with drying alcohols) derived from sustainable palm or coconut, used to give the bar its creamy texture and provide emollient moisture.

Activated Charcoal: A powerful natural purifier that acts like a magnet to draw out toxins, dirt, and excess oil from deep within the pores.

Hydrolysed Rice Protein: A gentle botanical extract that helps soothe the skin, improve moisture highlights, and contribute to a brighter, more even complexion.

Vitamin E (Tocopherol): A potent antioxidant that helps protect the skin from environmental damage while supporting the healing and repair of the skin barrier.

Tea Tree Essential Oil: A natural powerhouse known for its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, perfect for keeping acne-prone skin clear and calm.

Frankincense Essential Oil: A luxury botanical oil used for centuries to rejuvenate the skin, reduce the appearance of fine lines, and provide a calming, grounding scent.

Simply glide the Charcoal side over oily or congested areas (nose, forehead, chin) and the Rice side over drier, sensitive areas (cheeks, neck). Massage gently and rinse to reveal balanced, fresh, and radiant skin.

Is this bar a soap?
No, Norilum facial cleansers are soap-free. We use gentle, coconut-derived surfactants (SCI) that are pH-balanced for the face. Traditional soaps have a high pH that can damage the skin barrier; our bars are designed to be skin-compatible and ultra-gentle.

Will the Charcoal side dry out my skin?
Not at all. While the charcoal is powerful at drawing out oil, we have balanced the formula with Shea Butter and Argan Oil. This ensures that even as your pores are purified, your skin remains soft and hydrated.

How do I use a dual-action bar?
It’s easy! Wet the bar and glide the Charcoal side specifically over areas prone to oil and blackheads (usually the nose, chin, and forehead). Then, glide the Rice side over your cheeks and neck. Massage the creamy lather with your fingertips and rinse.

How long does one bar last?
Because it is a waterless concentrate, one Norilum bar typically lasts as long as two 250ml bottles of liquid cleanser. Depending on use, it can last between 60 to 80 washes.

How do I store my facial bar?
To make your bar last as long as possible, keep it on a well-draining soap dish away from direct spray in the shower. Allowing the bar to dry completely between uses keeps it firm and prevents wastage.

Is it safe for sensitive or acne-prone skin?
Yes! We’ve avoided synthetic fragrances and harsh chemicals that often cause flare-ups. The inclusion of Vitamin E and Rice is specifically intended to soothe sensitive areas, while Tea Tree helps manage acne-prone skin naturally.

Does it remove makeup?
Yes, the creamy lather is effective at breaking down daily grime and non-waterproof makeup. For heavy or waterproof eye makeup, we recommend a gentle pre-cleanse with a natural oil, followed by your Norilum bar for a deep finish.
