We're all familiar with performance ingredients in skin care like antioxidants, hyaluronic acid, fruit enzymes, green tea, caffeine, aloe, and more. But most products designed for convenience, while efficient, lack the effectiveness that comes with using powerhouse ingredients typically found in your medicine cabinet. RECESS brings those same benefits to you in a convenient easy-to-carry-and-use format.
Face 101: Face Cleansing + Moisturizing Wipes
The most important benefit we sought here was moisture. Many skin issues (acne, redness, dryness, fine lines) stem from lack of moisture, and we found that none of the face wipes we tried really truly moisturized. The star ingredient is Hyaluronic acid which replenishes moisture to keep the skin in good condition. Another goal was to make sure it really brightened skin for that fresh-face look. Green apple extract is rich in antioxidants like Vitamin C which helps to restore and revitalize skin.

Body 101: Deodorant Wipes
There is a boom in natural and aluminum-free deodorants, and we knew that our deodorant wipes had to be aluminum free. To balance that out we used Tea Tree Oil, a natural ingredient that neutralizes odor through its antiseptic properties. Plus, lots of other soothing and nourishing ingredients like Chamomile, Acai, and Aloe.

Hair 101: Charcoal Blotters
Given the popularity and usage of dry shampoo, we knew we needed a hair product that worked like dry shampoo but didn't have propane or aerosol and wasn't bulky to carry. Most dry shampoos are powdery and add "stuff" to your hair, rather than just removing what you don't want. It can also be hard to blend the powder if you have dark hair. We loved the idea of something simpler, no spray, no powder. Our inspiration was a sponge: how do we just remove the things we don't want? Once we found and tested the hemp + charcoal paper, we knew we had a winner. Charcoal is naturally detoxifying and removes sweat, residue, and oil.
