EMULSIFYING BALM
EMULSIFYING BALM
1 FL OZ
(VEGAN)
A gentle, oil-based balm for everyday cleansing and makeup removal.
This soap-free cleanser dissolves impurities both on the skin surface and deep within pores while simultaneously moisturizing the skin. The addition of water turns the oil-based mixture into a luxurious, creamy white lather that washes away makeup, dirt, and grime. A blend of several oils chosen for their superior cleansing abilities removes, refreshes, and replenishes for a uniquely balancing clean.
The stars of this product are hemp seed and neem oils; hemp seed oil is high in linoleic acid, completely non-comedogenic, and great for reducing the appearance of pores, while neem oil removes bacteria from the skin surface and prevents break-outs. Jojoba oil helps to level out natural oil production, castor oil acts as a natural astringent, and olive oil simultaneously cleans and nourishes the skin, restoring moisture and elasticity. Finally, creamy mango butter acts as a powerful emollient to soften the skin without clogging pores, and rose floral wax lightly scents the blend without irritating eyes.
Skin types: Suitable for all skin types. Makes a fantastic gentle cleanser for sensitive skin.
Scent profile: Light, floral, earthy, herbaceous, subtly sweet; evokes rose blooms and fresh rosemary, with a hint of fruit and cocoa. (Those sensitive to the savory/nutty smell of neem oil may notice a hint of that scent in this product.)
Tips and tricks:
Use to gently and naturally remove eye liner and mascara.
Use as an intensive moisturizer—just massage a small amount onto dry skin, focusing on areas that need extra moisture.
Mix with rice flour or oat flour for gentle exfoliation while cleansing.
