Jojoba Beads
Jojoba beads are tiny spherical granules made from the wax esters of the jojoba plant. These beads are commonly used in skincare products due to their gentle exfoliating properties and ability to improve skin texture and appearance.
Here are some of the skin care benefits of jojoba beads:
-
Gentle Exfoliation: Jojoba beads provide gentle exfoliation to the skin without causing irritation or damage. They effectively remove dead skin cells and unclog pores, leaving the skin smooth and radiant.
-
Non-Irritating: Unlike some other exfoliants, jojoba beads are non-irritating and safe for all skin types. They are particularly beneficial for sensitive and acne-prone skin, as they do not cause redness or inflammation.
-
Moisturizing: Jojoba beads contain natural oils that help to moisturize the skin while exfoliating. This helps to prevent dryness and flakiness, leaving the skin soft and supple.
-
Anti-Aging: Jojoba beads contain antioxidants that help to protect the skin against free radicals and environmental damage. This can help to reduce the signs of aging, such as fine lines and wrinkles.
-
Sustainable: Jojoba beads are a sustainable alternative to plastic microbeads, which are harmful to the environment. Jojoba is a renewable resource and its beads are biodegradable, making them an eco-friendly choice for skincare products.
Overall, incorporating jojoba beads into your skincare routine can provide numerous benefits for your skin, including gentle exfoliation, moisturization, anti-aging properties, and sustainability.
BOTANICAL NAME: Simmondsia sinensis
DESCRIPTION: Jojoba is a perennial shrub or small tree that grows in the arid and semi-dry desert regions of southern California, southern Arizona and northern Mexico. Its unique make-up of pure monounsaturated liquid wax esters consisting of long chains of fatty acids and alcohols makes jojoba a golden liquid wax rather than an oil. Native Americans have used jojoba for its healing properties for centuries. The Pueblo tribe, native to Mexico and southwestern U.S.A used the wax from the crushed seeds for their hair and skin. Jojoba plants have been grown commercially since 1979. Jojoba wax in its fully hydrogenated form is referred to as Jojoba beads. Jojoba beads are perfectly spherical in shape and are odourless and colourless. They are perfect exfoliators as they are gentle on the skin and are effective without being abrasive. The beads are 100% biodegradable.

Witch Hazel Hydrosol
Witch hazel hydrosol is a byproduct of the steam distillation process used to extract essential oil from the witch hazel plant. It is a gentle and soothing liquid that is often used in skin care products due to its numerous benefits for the skin.
One of the key benefits of witch hazel hydrosol for the skin is its ability to act as a natural astringent. This means it can help to tighten and tone the skin, making it particularly useful for people with oily or acne-prone skin. It can also help to reduce the appearance of pores and prevent the buildup of bacteria that can lead to breakouts.
Witch hazel hydrosol is also anti-inflammatory, making it useful for people with sensitive or irritated skin. It can help to reduce redness, soothe itchiness, and calm inflamed skin. It is gentle enough to be used on all skin types, including sensitive skin.
In addition to its astringent and anti-inflammatory properties, witch hazel hydrosol is also moisturizing and can help to keep the skin hydrated and healthy. It contains natural antioxidants that can help to protect the skin from free radical damage, which can lead to premature aging.
Witch hazel hydrosol can be used in a variety of ways in skin care. It can be used as a toner after cleansing, as a refreshing mist throughout the day, or as a soothing compress for irritated or inflamed skin. It can also be added to DIY skin care recipes, such as face masks or serums.
Overall, witch hazel hydrosol is a versatile and beneficial ingredient for skin care. Whether you have oily or dry skin, sensitive or acne-prone skin, or just want to keep your skin healthy and hydrated, witch hazel hydrosol can be a great addition to your skin care routine.
BOTANICAL NAME: Hamamelis (Greek - name for another plant) virginiana (Virginia)
EXTRACTION: Steam Distillation
DESCRIPTION: Witch Hazel hydrosol is a water distillate extracted from the witch-hazel shrub, or the Hamamelis virginiana. The witch hazel plant is found in North America and has been used in traditional indigenous medicine for centuries. Witch hazel is an astringent with multiple skincare benefits. Indigenous cultures in North America use this astringent to treat swellings, inflammations and tumors. Their healing methods using this ingredient were adopted by early Puritan settlers once they arrived from Europe. It was Dr. Charles Hawes who discovered that steam distillation of witch hazel stems and bark produced stronger healing capabilities and was the first to market witch hazel as “Hawes Extract” in Essex, Connecticut at the end of the 19th century. Witch hazel hydrosol is clear and colourless and has an innate ability to sooth, calm and cool skin. It contains astringent tannins gallic acid, hamamelitannin and proanthocyanidins that have a drying effect on the skin.

Sweet Orange Essential Oil
Sweet Orange Essential Oil is a popular and versatile essential oil that is extracted from the peel of sweet oranges. It is a natural and powerful oil that is commonly used in aromatherapy, skincare, and hair care products. It has a sweet, citrusy scent that is both uplifting and energizing, and it is loaded with a variety of beneficial properties that can improve the overall health of the skin.
One of the most significant benefits of sweet orange essential oil for the skin is its ability to promote collagen production. Collagen is a protein that is responsible for keeping the skin firm, plump, and youthful-looking. As we age, collagen production decreases, which can lead to fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin. Sweet orange essential oil helps to stimulate collagen production, which can improve the elasticity and firmness of the skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Sweet orange essential oil is also a natural antioxidant, which means it can help to protect the skin from free radical damage caused by environmental pollutants and UV radiation. Free radicals can cause oxidative stress in the skin, leading to premature aging, dullness, and uneven skin tone. The antioxidants in sweet orange essential oil help to neutralize these free radicals, protecting the skin from damage and promoting a healthy, glowing complexion.
In addition to its anti-aging benefits, sweet orange essential oil is also effective in treating acne-prone skin. It has natural antimicrobial properties that can help to kill acne-causing bacteria, reducing the severity and frequency of breakouts. Sweet orange essential oil also has anti-inflammatory properties that can help to calm and soothe inflamed, irritated skin, reducing redness and swelling.
Overall, sweet orange essential oil is an excellent addition to any skincare routine, providing a range of benefits that can improve the health and appearance of the skin. With its uplifting scent and powerful properties, it is a must-have for anyone looking to achieve healthy, radiant skin.
BOTANICAL NAME: Citrus (from Latin for citron) aurantium (orange) var. dulcis (sweet)
EXTRACTION: Cold pressed
DESCRIPTION: Sweet orange essential oil is squeezed from the peels of the popular fruit. Its main component is limonene, which is known for being a strong antioxidant acting as an effective cleaning agent to keep pores clear of excess oil and pollutants. The essential oil is a yellowish-orange to brown in colour and the scent is a bright, uplifting citrus, exactly what you smell when peeling an orange.
KEY COMPONENTS: d-Limonene, aldehydes

CanadaBest exfoliating cleanser!
I absolutely love this product! It is definitely my go to exfoliating cleaner. It has great exfoliating power while still being super gentle on my sensitive skin. The smell is also lovely which is a bonus!
CanadaGreat Stuff
I bought mine at an online pharmacy well.ca, here is that review: except I forgot to mention I ordered two more! Title: Great stuff (user bradleyyyz) Cleanses without that tight dry feeling, smells good enough to eat ( this doesn't mean you do or try), and just feels good to use a more natural product. I'd recommend to anyone.
CanadaGreat for oily/combination skin
I love all Cocoon products because I know what is in them and not only are they safe, but also effective. Love this cleanser for my daily face wash.
CanadaPump
I love the product itself but this is the second pump in a row that is clogged from the exfoliant.
CanadaLove the sweet orange exfoliant cleanser
I love the smell and feel of the product. It’s been great. I have had issues with the pump clogging due to the exfoliant beads. As a result, I have had to unwind the top.
CanadaGentle and Nourishing
I love this exfoliating gel. I have sensetuve skin, and although the product uses orange extract, my skin is left feeling unbothered. It is very gentle, yet gets the job done. I have been using this product for a few years now and can't go bavk to any other. Highly recommend!
CanadaSo gentle so soft
I just love this product. I’ve received several compliments about my skin since including it in my Cocoon Apothecary skin care routine! It’s fantastic.
Cocoon Apothecary
Skin compliments are the best! We are thrilled this product is working so well for you! Keep it up, clearly it's working.
CanadaLove Love Love
This is a great cleanser. Especially for the summer months you feel so clean after but not stripped of natural oils. The jojoba beads that act as an exfoliant are perfect and great for every day use I don’t feel that my skin is over exfoliated or irritated in anyway.
CanadaSo fresh and so clean (clean)
First of all...the SMELL of the sweet orange line is so fresh! I LOVE waking up to this cleanser. The exfoliants are just enough that you get a good scrub, but gentle enough for my sensitive skin. Have I mentioned the smell?!
CanadaOne of three
Essential for clean clear and healthy skin
CanadaAmazing cleanser for combo/oily skin
I just recently tried this product prior to it I was just using the regular sweet orange cleaning gel. I figured I would try this because of my combination skin. I do tend to get oily at the end of the day. Sometimes I wear makeup, or sunscreen so at the end of the day I like that really deep clean. My skin is sensitive and the beads don't irritate my skin at all. I absolutely love this cleanser the only down side is that it's such a small bottle so it doesn't last me very long.
Cocoon Apothecary
Hi Monika, thank you for sharing your experience with us. We do offer this exfoliating cleanser in a 250ml if you are looking for a larger size :) so happy you have been enjoying it
CanadaSweet orange exfoliating
My son really likes it - it’s helping with the acne
Cocoon Apothecary
Yay, we are so happy he likes it and is seeing results!
CanadaFresh and Clean
This cleanser is perfect, especially for summer. It has a gentle but effective exfoliating effect. It leaves my skin feeling fresh and ready for my Rosey cheeks cream and oil. The smell of this cleanser is an added bonus but may be my favourite part. It’s so fresh!
Cocoon Apothecary
Thank you for sharing your love for this product!
CanadaAnother great product
As usual, the product is excellent. I've never been disappointed in anything I've tried.
CanadaLove it
Love the smell and how my skin feels - definitely recommend!
CanadaGreat face wash!
Concentrated, great smelling
CanadaOrange you going to try it
So gentle , I use this one a week and use rose for daily. Amazing orange scent. Highly recommend.
CanadaGreat product!
I love this product. I had some challenges with the pump and the team at Cocoon was so quick and accommodating. They've got my business from no on, looking forward to placing another order soon!
Canada10/10!!
I am obsessed with how gentle this is on my skin, but still exfoliates so well! Also the smell is so delicious!!
CanadaSo refreshing!
I love the Sweet Orange Exfoliating Gel Cleanser! I have oily skin that is also prone to acne and breakouts. Previously, I was using the non exfoliating orange gel cleaner and while I did really like it, I do think the exfoliating version is better suited for my skin - it really helps clear up my breakouts! It doesn't feel like it's going to exfoliate well, though it honestly does. I've used rougher exfoliating cleansers that feel really gritty on your face and leave your skin kind of red for a bit after (for me at least) and this one does not feel like that at all. AND my skin feels soft and clear after, no more dead and rough skin patches!
