About
with Coconut-Derived, Sulfate-Free Cleansers + Oat, Chamomile & Rosehip Extract + Ceramides
This creamy cleanser was built for skin in the menopause transition and beyond. Gentle, coconut-derived cleansers lift away makeup and daily buildup, without sulfates or stripping, while skin-identical ceramides replenish the moisture barrier as you wash for skin that feels clean and comfortable, never tight.
As skin ages, it retains moisture less easily than it used to. Estrogen decline thins the moisture barrier and slows the lipids that keep it sealed, which is why the cleanser you've used for years can suddenly feel harsh and leave your face feeling tight. Nourishing Cream Cleanser lifts off makeup and buildup from the day, while ceramides leave the skin feeling clean, refreshed, hydrated, and never stripped.
Mild, sulfate-free cleansers derived from coconut (Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate and Cocamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine) lift off the day without stripping the moisture your skin is already working harder to keep. Ceramides NP and AP lock in hydration to help replenish the moisture barrier during the cleanse itself. Niacinamide refines the look of pores and supports a more even-looking tone, glycerin and propanediol draw in moisture so there's no dry post-cleanse feel, and oat, chamomile, and rose calm and soothe skin that may have become more reactive.
Wet your face with lukewarm water, then work a dime-sized amount into a soft lather and massage over face and neck in circular motions, avoiding the eye area. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry. Use morning and night, then follow with your serum, moisturizer, and broad-spectrum SPF in the morning.

Yes. As estrogen declines, skin produces fewer of the lipids that keep the moisture barrier sealed, so cleansers that rely on sulfates to do the work can leave it feeling tight and stripped. A cream cleanser cleans with a softer, cushioned lather instead. Nourishing Cream Cleanser pairs that gentler cleanse with Ceramides NP and AP, so the barrier is replenished at the same time.
Most gentle cleansers are defined by the harsh ingredients they leave out. This one is also defined by its beneficial added ingredients. It starts with omitting sulfates that strip the skin, and then the formula includes skin-identical ceramides, glycerin, and propanediol that address existing dryness. That combination is what makes the cleanser both gentle and effective.
Ceramides are the lipids that hold the moisture barrier together, and skin makes fewer of them as estrogen declines. In a rinse-off product, they work during the cleanse itself. Ceramides NP and AP help replenish the barrier while the cleansers lift away buildup, so washing your face no longer depletes hydration.
Yes. It lifts away makeup along with oil, sweat, and the day's buildup in one step. Keep it away from the eye area, and use a dedicated eye-makeup remover in addition.
This product was specifically formulated for reactive skin experiencing hormonal changes. The lack of sulfates and the inclusion of oat, chamomile, and rose support calm skin. If you have a known sensitivity to oat, chamomile, or rose, patch test before your first full use. If your skin is currently broken or badly irritated, let it heal before cleansing.
Foaming cleansers feel thorough but often wash away more than dirt; the “squeaky-clean” feeling is the result of stripped moisture. Cream cleansers protect that moisture but can feel like they're not quite rinsing clean. This formula provides a rich, creamy texture that builds into a soft foam, so you get the fresh, clean finish of a foam with the comfort of a cream. Skin is left clean, soft, and ready for the rest of your routine.
Yes, this product is gentle enough for both. Cleanse morning and night; in the morning, follow with your serum, moisturizer, and broad-spectrum SPF. Because it replenishes as it cleans, rather than stripping, twice-daily washing doesn't damage the skin or cause discomfort like a harsher cleanser can.

Winona's skincare is physician-curated and designed specifically for women in the menopause transition and beyond. Our line uses clinically-proven ingredients chosen for the visible changes that appear at this stage of life. While it was created with menopausal women in mind, the line serves as premier skincare for any woman over 30.
Winona’s skincare is an excellent complement to HRT but does not require HRT to work. Both can be used independently or in combination, as they serve different purposes. HRT addresses the root hormonal shifts, principally estrogen decline, that lead to a range of symptoms, including skin changes. While HRT can improve skin health, it is not a skin-specific treatment and cannot reverse existing changes like lost firmness, uneven tone, or dryness. Winona’s skincare is formulated specifically around these concerns to address skin barrier health, loss of hydration, accumulated sun damage, skin laxity, and collagen loss.
