Sweet almond oil — Exceptionally gentle and rich in vitamins E and A, almond oil melts away impurities while deeply conditioning the skin — leaving it soft, smooth, and perfectly comfortable.

Shea butter — A luxuriously nourishing butter that forms a protective barrier on the skin, locking in moisture and supporting the lipid barrier during and after cleansing.

Jojoba oil — Structurally similar to the skin's own sebum, jojoba dissolves excess oil and impurities without disrupting the skin's natural balance — ideal for all skin types.

Coconut oil — A deeply moisturising oil with natural antimicrobial properties that helps cleanse pores while leaving the skin feeling soft and nourished.

Grape seed oil — Lightweight and astringent, grape seed oil helps refine pores and remove impurities while delivering a dose of antioxidant protection.

Tocopheryl acetate (vitamin E) — Protects the skin from oxidative stress and environmental damage, supporting barrier repair and long-term skin health with every use.

Lemon & ginger essential oils — A brightening and warming botanical duo that supports circulation and helps the skin feel refreshed, balanced, and revitalised after cleansing.

What does it do?

A thick, oil-based balm that effectively removes makeup, including waterproof formulas and sunscreen - warms to an oil on contact with skin, then rinses clean. Always follow with a gel or foam cleanser to complete cleansing.

Who is it for?

Suitable for all skin types.

What is the difference between this and a cleansing oil?

Mainly texture - the balm is thicker, making it more travel-convenient and preferable if you don't like the fluidity of an oil.

How do I use it?

Apply a small amount to dry hands, warm between palms, then massage onto dry skin to dissolve makeup and impurities. Rinse thoroughly with warm water, then follow with a foam or gel cleanser.

Does it leave a greasy film?

Depends on skin type - it won't dry skin out, but a slight oiliness is possible depending on how much is used and rinsed.

Can it remove long-wear lipstick or eye makeup?

Yes to both - including eye makeup, without burning or discomfort.

Can it be used with eyelash extensions?

Best to check with your lash technician first - the natural oils in the formula can weaken lash adhesive.

Are there any contraindications?

Individual intolerance to ingredients is possible. We recommend a patch test before first use.

Can it be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding?

Yes - contains no ingredients contraindicated during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Consult your doctor if you have individual concerns.

What if the balm softens?

It can soften in high heat - simply let it return to room temperature and it will firm back up.

What is the shelf life?

2 years unopened, 3 months once opened.

From what age can it be used?

14 years old.

What is the pH of the product?

6.7.
