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.

I bought this product for the first time three months ago after hearing about it from My Green Closet. I have oily, acne-prone, and sensitive skin. Over the years, I've found it challenging to find a cleanser that I absolutely love and meets my skin concerns. The Emulsifying Balm not only cleans well, but it also makes my face feel amazing. I've definitely noticed a difference in how my skin look...

My gateway to healthy skin and becoming a loyal customer! I started off by buying this amazing cleanser, it made a great differences to the texture and look of my skin and helped with my breakouts. A little really does go along way and the silky texture really makes washing your face feel like luxury! I adore O+W so much and so happy to have them be my main skin care routine.

I have been using this face wash for about 1.5 years and I absolutely LOVE it. I am very particular about my skin and I try to only use all natural products. I oscillated between a bunch of face washes before finding this one and I haven't looked back since. It make your skin glow and adds so much moisture. I joke that my skin never looks better than right after I use it! I seriously couldn't reco...

I am a natural makeup artist and I discovered this product at an event in Brooklyn where I met Erika, the owner and makeup of Oil and Water skincare. First of all, I have tried many cleansing balms as a makeup artist and connoisseur of clean beauty products and the emulsifying balm is one of my favorite balms that I keep reaching for on my vanity. It melts your makeup off which I love and also lea...

Incredible cleanser! It is so difficult to find a good natural cleanser, and this one does such a good job. It is really good removing makeup and it feels incredible on your skin. A tiny bit is enough to remove all the makeup and junk. Highly recommend it!
