If your skin has become harder to predict
If your skin has become drier, more reactive or harder to predict, the answer is not always another serum or a longer routine. Often, what helps most is a steadier foundation that does the right jobs well.
SOW and CULTIVATE were created to support changing skin through simple, effective daily care. Designed to work beautifully together, they also integrate easily alongside the products you already use.
The Core Ritual
SOW
Cleanses gently without leaving skin tight or stripped.
“This cleansing jelly is amazing. It feels instantly soothing and melts away makeup without irritating my sensitive skin. It leaves my face hydrated and de-stressed, not tight or dry.”
— Charlotte
CULTIVATE
Replenishes with lightweight, barrier-supportive nourishment.
“This serum sinks into my skin quickly and feels wonderful. During the night it replenishes, and during the day it sits well under makeup.”
— Patricia

How to use the Core Ritual
Why start here?
SOW and CULTIVATE were created for skin that has become drier, more sensitive or less tolerant over time.
These two considered steps combine gentle cleansing, lipid-rich nourishment and antioxidant support. Skin feels calmer, softer and more comfortable day to day.
They work beautifully as the Hux + Mū Core Ritual, and can also be used individually within your existing routine when your skin needs steady support.
AM
SOW if needed · CULTIVATE · SPF
Massage a small amount of SOW onto dry skin at the sink, or before stepping into the shower.
When you add a little warm water, the jelly transforms into a soft cleansing milk that helps remove overnight skincare, excess oil and sleep without leaving skin tight or stripped.
Follow with CULTIVATE, pressing a few drops gently into slightly damp skin to replenish and support the barrier before SPF, makeup and the day ahead.
PM
SOW · CULTIVATE
Massage SOW onto dry skin to melt away makeup, SPF and the day’s build-up.
When warm water is added, the jelly transforms into a soft cleansing milk that rinses or wipes away easily, leaving skin feeling clean, soft and comfortable.
Follow with CULTIVATE, pressing a few drops gently into slightly damp skin as your final replenishing step before bed.

A few things you may be wondering
Can two steps really be enough?
For many women, yes. When skin feels dry, sensitive or overwhelmed, a gentle cleanse and replenishing step can often bring more comfort than a crowded routine.
Is the Core Ritual suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes. The Core Ritual was created especially for skin that feels dry, sensitive or easily unsettled.
Both SOW and CULTIVATE are designed to support the skin barrier with gentle cleansing, replenishing lipids and carefully chosen ingredients that prioritise comfort over intensity.
If your skin is highly reactive or compromised, patch testing first is always recommended.
Can the core ritual support skin that still experiences hormonal breakouts?
Often, yes.
Skin can become both dehydrated and reactive through midlife, even while still experiencing congestion or hormonal breakouts. Harsh cleansing and overcomplicated routines can sometimes leave skin feeling more unsettled over time.
The Core Ritual was created to support skin with gentle cleansing, lightweight lipid nourishment and barrier-focused care that helps maintain comfort and balance.
Will the Core Ritual feel heavy or greasy?
No. The Core Ritual was designed to nourish and support the skin barrier without leaving skin feeling heavy, coated or overwhelmed.
SOW rinses away as a soft cleansing milk, while CULTIVATE uses lightweight botanical lipids to replenish without a greasy finish.
Skin should feel comfortable, supple and supported, not oily.
Is SOW enough to remove makeup and SPF on its own?
Yes. SOW was created to work as a one-step cleanse, helping dissolve makeup, SPF, and the daily build-up without the need for a separate double cleanse.
For heavier makeup days, spend a little longer massaging the cleanser into dry skin before adding water.
Can I still use retinoids or active skincare alongside your products?
Often, yes.
SOW was designed to cleanse gently while helping maintain hydration and barrier comfort, while CULTIVATE’s ceramide-rich, lipid-replenishing formula can help support skin that feels dry, sensitive, or pushed too far by stronger actives.
If you use retinoids, CULTIVATE can be applied using the “sandwich” method:
CULTIVATE → retinoid → CULTIVATE
If your skin feels reactive or overwhelmed, it may help to simplify your routine for 7 to 14 days using only the Core Ritual before gradually reintroducing stronger actives.
