Gentle Gel Cleanser | Kalkáy Wild Rose

Indulge in a grounding daily ritual with the Kalkáy Wild Rose Gentle Gel Cleanser by Škwálwen Botanicals. Founded by ethnobotanist Stevie Standard of the Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish) Nation, Škwálwen Botanicals honours traditional Indigenous plant knowledge through clean, high-performance skincare. Named after Kalkáy—the Squamish word for wild rose—this pH-balanced, lightweight gel lifts away makeup, sunscreen, and daily impurities while protecting your skin’s natural moisture barrier, leaving your face clean, soft, and visibly calm.
