Do I need to double cleanse?

No, this is a one-step cleanser. It removes heavy duty sunscreen, makeup and daily buildup in one step.  

Is there any fragrance?

There's no fragrance or essential oils. The balm has a honey-like scent from the natural emollients and botanicals.

Can I use this to remove my eye makeup?

Yes, this cleanser is OptiSafe Tested to be gentle around the eyes. It can remove waterproof mascara and eyeliner without tugging or eyelash breakage. It also doesn't cause blurring of eyes.

What are PEGs and why do you avoid them?

PEGs (polyethylene glycols) are synthetic compounds derived from ethylene oxide, widely used in cleansers as a solvent. 

PEGs can increase skin permeability which can weaken the barrier overtime with repeated use. Compromised skin barrier function can lead to trans-epidermal water loss, sensitivity, and irritation.

“Absolutely love the cleansing pads, I think that’s such a unique way to get all the makeup and dirt off my face from the day. I wear waterproof mascara because my eyelids are oily (lol) and this balm takes it off no problem. I’ve come to really enjoy using this in the evenings. My favorite thing about this cleanser is how soft my skin feels afterward, when followed by a moisturizer! Packaging is super cute :)”

“It did a great job taking my makeup off, paired with the wet cotton pads. There was no issue getting off my mascara or eyebrow gel! It was easy to apply to my face after warming it between my fingers. The scent was very natural, I personally liked that it was not a fake scent! Made the product seem real and clean rather than artificial. When I removed the balm with the wet cotton pads, my face felt so soft! I did have to use a foam cleanser after to adequately remove all of the product. I decided one night to not wash my face again after and I woke up with raccoon eyes and overly oily skin.”

“The first thing I want to mention is the mess free pump that it comes with, I love that and one pump is the perfect amount. The scent was a natural scent nothing fruity or floral. I have used other cleansing balms but this one just glided right on as if I was rubbing honey or butter on my face, it worked amazing as each time I used the product I had little white impurities on my fingers that it had removed from my skin. It left my skin feeling hydrated which is awesome for me because I can't find much that does these days. And clean, my face felt so refreshed and clean after using the cleansing balm.”

“It's easy to use and I like the packaging a lot. It helps clean my skin from SPF and CC cream and feels non-stripping to the skin!”

  • When removing the balm, use a cotton pad or wash cloth dampened with warm/hot water to help open pores for a more invigorating cleanse. Apply it as an eye compress to help unclog oil glands.

  • Squeeze out excess water from the cotton pad or wash cloth; this allows the residue to adhere better to the pad as you buff away impurities. Use both sides of the pad until all residue is removed.

  • As an optional step, use a gentle toner to remove any trace residue.
