How Does It Work

This cleansing balm starts as a solid balm and melts into a silky oil when massaged onto dry skin. It helps dissolve makeup, sunscreen, sebum, and daily buildup, then emulsifies with water into a milky texture that rinses away cleanly. The plant oils help cleanse without leaving skin overly dry, while soothing extracts help reduce post-cleanse tightness.
