Golden Sunrise - 2 in 1 Enzyme Cleansing Cream
Size: 100 mL
A joyful, enzyme-rich cream that cleanses, conditions, and gently refreshes
Golden Sunrise is a luscious cleansing cream created to remove daily impurities, excess oil, and makeup without leaving the skin feeling stripped or tight.
Part cleansing oil and part creamy rinse-off cleanser, this two-in-one formula offers the makeup-dissolving benefits of an oil cleanse together with the fresh, comfortable finish of a traditional cleanser. Skin emerges feeling clean, supple, nourished, and beautifully refreshed.
Organic pineapple and papaya provide naturally occurring fruit enzymes and acids that help lift dulling surface buildup. Jojoba, aloe vera, coconut-derived glycerin, coconut milk, MSM, vitamin C, fennel, nettle, chamomile, and turmeric transform cleansing into a nutrient-rich skin ritual.
What It Is Formulated to Do
Its bright lemon-meringue aroma, accented with sandalwood, wild orange, cardamom, and lemon myrtle, brings a sense of joy to the everyday cleansing experience.
Golden Sunrise may be used alone or paired with Radiant River Botanical Cleansing Oil for a complete double cleanse.
With regular use, Golden Sunrise can help:
- Cleanse away daily impurities and excess surface oil
- Dissolve and remove everyday face makeup
- Help remove eye makeup with careful application
- Refresh dull or tired-looking skin
- Gently loosen surface buildup with fruit-derived enzymes and acids
- Leave the complexion looking smoother and more luminous
- Maintain moisture while cleansing
- Support soft, supple, comfortable-feeling skin
- Condition the skin with botanical oils and extracts
- Turn cleansing into a bright, uplifting sensory ritual
Golden Sunrise is created for most skin types, particularly skin that benefits from a creamy, moisturizing cleanse. Very sensitive or highly reactive skin should be patch tested before full use because the formula contains fruit enzymes and aromatic essential oils.
Two Cleansing Steps in One
Traditional double cleansing begins with an oil cleanser to dissolve makeup, sunscreen, excess sebum, and oil-soluble residue, followed by a second cleanser to rinse away remaining impurities.
Golden Sunrise combines aspects of both steps in one formula. Jojoba and other emollient ingredients help loosen makeup and oil-based residue, while the creamy emulsifying system allows the product to mix with water and rinse away.
For everyday cleansing and lighter makeup, Golden Sunrise may be all you need. For heavier makeup, water-resistant sunscreen, or a more complete evening ritual, begin with Radiant River Botanical Cleansing Oil and follow with Golden Sunrise.

The Elaa Ritual
Dispense several pumps of Golden Sunrise into the palm of your hand. Add a small amount of water and massage your hands together to distribute the cream.
Massage gently over the face using slow circular motions. Keep the eyes closed when working around the eye area, avoid direct contact with the eyes, and do not rub.
Rinse thoroughly with comfortably warm water. If desired, remove any remaining cream or makeup with a soft damp cloth.
Choose a fresh organic cotton or muslin cloth for each cleanse and launder reusable cloths thoroughly between uses.
For heavier makeup or water-resistant sunscreen, cleanse first with Radiant River Botanical Cleansing Oil or repeat the Golden Sunrise cleanse as needed.
This is one of my favorite cloths for removing products, as it is disposable and biodegradable.
These are some other face-cloth options I recommend if you don’t mind laundering them regularly:
About the Ingredients
Enzyme-Based Surface Renewal
Golden Sunrise contains pineapple juice and papaya fruit, both valued for their naturally occurring enzymes and fruit acids.
In a rinse-off cleanser, these ingredients help loosen dead surface cells and dulling residue so they can be removed more easily during cleansing. This gentle surface-refreshing action supports a smoother, brighter, more even-looking complexion without relying on abrasive particles.
Because botanical enzyme activity can vary and every complexion is different, individual experiences may vary. Reduce frequency or discontinue use if persistent stinging, redness, or irritation develops.
Organic Pineapple Juice
Pineapple contains naturally occurring fruit acids, antioxidants, and the enzyme bromelain. In Golden Sunrise, it helps loosen dulling surface buildup and supports a fresh, luminous-looking complexion.
It contributes gentle exfoliating activity without the rough texture of a physical scrub. Golden Sunrise is not intended to replace a professionally formulated peel or treatment for hyperpigmentation, clogged pores, or acne.
Organic Papaya Fruit
Papaya contains naturally occurring enzymes, including papain, along with antioxidant plant compounds. It complements pineapple by helping refresh the skin’s surface and improve the appearance of rough or uneven texture.
Plant-Derived MSM
MSM, or methylsulfonylmethane, is a naturally occurring sulfur compound used in skin-care formulas to support a smooth, conditioned, resilient-looking complexion.
Within this rinse-off formula, it contributes to Golden Sunrise’s mineral-rich, skin-conditioning profile.
Sodium Ascorbate
Sodium ascorbate is a form of vitamin C selected for its antioxidant and skin-conditioning properties. It supports the formula’s refreshing, brightening cosmetic benefits without presenting Golden Sunrise as a corrective vitamin C treatment.
Organic Aloe Vera
Aloe vera supplies lightweight hydration and helps leave the skin feeling soft and comfortable after cleansing. It is especially valuable in a cleanser designed to refresh without creating a tight, over-cleansed sensation.
Organic Jojoba Oil
Jojoba helps dissolve makeup, excess sebum, and oil-soluble residue while conditioning the skin. Its lightweight texture contributes to Golden Sunrise’s ability to cleanse effectively without leaving the complexion feeling depleted.
Coconut-Derived Glycerin and Coconut Milk
Glycerin attracts and retains water at the skin’s surface, helping maintain a comfortable, hydrated feeling during cleansing. Coconut milk contributes additional creaminess and gives Golden Sunrise its decadent, meringue-like texture.
Organic Fennel Seed and Nettle Leaf
Fennel and nettle contribute naturally occurring botanical compounds to the formula. They are included to support a fresh, balanced, healthy-looking complexion.
Organic Chamomile
Chamomile is traditionally used in skin care for its comforting qualities. It complements the fruit enzymes and aromatic botanicals, helping create a more balanced cleansing experience.
Organic Turmeric
Turmeric contains naturally occurring antioxidant compounds, including curcuminoids. In Golden Sunrise, it supports the appearance of calm, even-toned, luminous skin.
Vitamin E and Rosemary CO₂
Vitamin E conditions the skin, while vitamin E and rosemary CO₂ help protect the formula’s botanical oils from premature oxidation.
Sandalwood, Lemon Myrtle, Wild Orange and Cardamom
This aromatic blend gives Golden Sunrise its joyful lemon-meringue character. Bright citrus and lemon-myrtle notes are softened by warm cardamom and sandalwood, turning daily cleansing into an uplifting sensory ritual.
