Made for the
long stretch.

Perlette™ is a daily gel for reactive, easily-irritated skin, meant for the in-between. Every droplet of active is the same size, so today’s dose is the same as yesterday’s. Still in development, and worked out in the open.


Why we’re building it this way

I spent years reading labels and wondering why so little of what was on them seemed to arrive. Actives sit in water for months before they reach you, and formulas compromise to stay stable on a shelf. My own skin has been reactive for most of my life, so this isn’t an abstract problem to me. Perlette is what I’d want to buy: an everyday gel for reactive skin, with the actives kept apart until the moment you use them.

Two chambers in one pack. One holds the droplets, the other holds the gel, and they meet for the first time on the way out.

Nothing is fixed yet. We’re further along on the mechanism than on the formula. What goes in, how much of it, and how it comes out are all still being decided.

Daily is the hard part. A product you use occasionally only has to be good once. One you use every day is one you can trust, on the good weeks and on the bad ones.

We’d rather ask than guess. You’re reading this before there is anything to sell, which is the only time your opinion can still change the formula. Join the list and we’ll ask you real questions, then show you what we did with the answers.

We’ll keep you in the loop

We’ll keep working at it in the open, and keep the people on this list first: formulation notes, the decisions we’re stuck on, and the first chance to try it.
