Hydro-Ester Cleaning System (aka. HECS) is a high-performance facial cleanser built to get the job done fast. In just one minute, it delivers a deep yet hydrating cleanse that clears away daily grime, SPF, and built-up oil while restoring skin purity. The result is skin that looks cleaner, feels smoother, and stays balanced, never tight and never greasy.

HECS uses a dual-action approach: it breaks down surface debris and excess sebum while replenishing essential skin lipids that reinforce your skin's moisture barrier. That balance makes it suitable for all skin types, including oily and combination skin. By effectively controlling excess oil and shine, it leaves skin fresh, comfortable, and matte, not stripped.

The lightweight ester base targets oil-based impurities on the surface and within pores, dissolving stubborn buildup with ease. When activated with water, it emulsifies and rinses clean in a single step, no residue, no second cleanse required.

To keep your skin strong and hydrated during cleansing, Hydro-Ester Cleaning System is fortified with solanum lycopersicum fruit lipids, derived from up-cycled organic tomato skins and seed oil. These lipids are rich in fatty acids essential for healthy-looking skin.

• Linoleic acid supports ceramide production, improving moisture retention and barrier strength.
• Oleic acid helps maintain hydration and keeps skin feeling supple.

Naturally high in lycopene and carotene, these fruit lipids also give the formula its distinctive orange tone.

True to NIOD’s commitment to responsible innovation, the solanum lycopersicum fruit lipids in HECS are sourced from up-cycled tomato skins and seeds diverted from food-industry waste. Farmers are paid fairly and share in the value created, making HECS good for skin and better for the system behind it.
