Frequently asked questions

Why should I use a cleanser twice a day?

Healthy skin starts with clean skin. A strong skin barrier and clear pores are essential for optimal skin health. Oil, build up and debris collect on skin throughout the day, so it's important to cleanse morning and night. Additionally, The Clean Slate gently exfoliates skin, helping to prepare for better absorption and effectiveness of the rest of your skincare regimen in the morning and evening.

How much should I use?

Use 1-2 pumps and massage into damp skin, creating a slight lather.

I am prone to sensitivity and redness. Is the Clean Slate good for me?

Our formula was designed with plant-based, non-irritating ingredients. A clinical study and an irritancy study confirms product safety. The Clean Slate is proven to perform for all skin types and conditions.

Q&A

Are the products cruelty-free?
Hi Marty! Yes, we are proud to be a cruelty-free company, certified by Leaping Bunny and PETA Beauty. The Leaping Bunny Certification confirms that Caldera + Lab isn’t just currently vegan and cruelty-free, but that we’ve also implemented a supplier monitoring system to ensure that we’re never connected to animal testing!
I’ve been using this product for about a month now. I’m really enjoying it however, since the bottle is opaque and has weight, I cannot tell how much I have left. What indications will there be that I need to resupply??
Hi Van, Thank you for your support and for sharing your experience with The Clean Slate! We’re so glad to hear that you’re enjoying it. We understand that the opaque bottle makes it tricky to gauge how much is left. While there isn’t a built-in indicator, you can get a rough estimate by considering your usage habits. If you’ve been using the product daily as recommended, a bottle typically lasts around 45-60 days. Another way to check is by gently shaking the bottle—you may be able to feel the remaining liquid move inside. To ensure you never run out, we recommend keeping an extra bottle on hand or setting up a subscription or reminder based on your average usage!
I’m a pilot and obviously travel. The clean slate being a pump, can you push it down and turn and lock the pump before putting in my toiletry bag. Just don’t need this leaking everywhere. Always seeking efficiency in packing.
Hi Jason, thanks for reaching out. While the pump on The Clean Slate does not fully lock, we do find it be fairly leakproof while traveling! If you want it to be extra secure, tape can help hold it in the locked position, or some who travel often decide to transfer a bit of product into a separate small travel container that can be easier for packing and a bit more leakproof. Safe travels, and let us know if you have any additional questions!
How much is the clean slate alone?
Hi Julie, The Clean Slate is $45 for a one time purchase, and you can save 20% off if you select the membership option at checkout. This brings the price down to $36!
