What Is Oil Cleansing? Daily cleansing is the cornerstone of clear, healthy skin.

At Tropic, we're proud of the incredible diversity of those we nurture on their skincare journeys. With half of our community being women aged 45–55 — a time often coinciding with perimenopause, the precursor to menopause — it’s our duty and privilege to recognise and offer our support throughout this period of physical and mental change.  Menopause marks the end of a person’s reproductive years, a natural transition that affects various aspects of the body, including the skin. This journey is unique for everyone, but understanding the changes can empower you to navigate it confidently.&n ..read more
