How to Use a Cleansing Balm

- Let the balm melt into oil and massage into skin to lift away makeup, dirt, and excess oil.
- Remove with a warm, damp cloth. Wipe twice for best results.
- For a deeper cleanse, hold a warm flannel to your face for 1–2 minutes to steam open pores.
Use daily as a one-step cleanser or second cleanse in a double cleansing routine.
Yes, you can use it every day — even if you haven’t worn makeup.
Skincare Tip: Spend a little longer massaging the balm into your skin — it boosts circulation and lymphatic flow for a healthier-looking glow.

Key ingredients
Organic Castor Oil
Naturally antibacterial and rich in fatty acids, castor oil helps remove impurities from the pores while soothing the skin. Known as a natural 'dirt magnet.'
Papaya Seed Oil
This tropical oil contains the enzyme papain, a gentle exfoliant that helps break down dead skin cells and unclog pores. It brightens the skin and supports clear, balanced skin for those prone to acne or oiliness.
Mango Butter
Deeply nourishing and softening, mango butter moisturises while helping to support firmness and barrier repair. Rich in anti-inflammatory compounds that soothe sensitive or reactive skin.
How it works
What is a Cleansing Balm?
Cleansing balms, also known as balm cleansers, are oil-based formulas that work by attracting and dissolving oil, makeup, and impurities — without stripping your skin. Ideal for every skin type (yes, even oily skin!), they leave your skin clean, soft, and hydrated. Read this blog post to find out more about cleansing balms.
Why It’s Different
While many cleansers contain harsh surfactants, this balm melts everything away with a calming blend of apricot, coconut, castor, and papaya oils — plus mango butter to soften. It cleanses while reinforcing the skin barrier and soothing inflammation.
Great for…
- Dry & Sensitive Skin: No harsh foaming agents — just skin barrier-supporting care.
- Rosacea-Prone Skin: Gentle, non-stripping, and full of soothing, anti-inflammatory ingredients.
- Acne-Prone Skin: Draws out excess sebum and supports clearer skin with antibacterial oils.
- Make-Up Wearers: Lifts even long-wear or waterproof products effortlessly.
Essential Oil Skin Benefits
- Lavender: Soothes redness and supports healing.
- Palmarosa: Helps balance oil production.
