The foundation of healthy, glowing skin.
Whenever someone with problem skin asks for my advice, my first question is always the same: Are you cleansing properly? Because no matter how many serums or oils you use, they won’t work as they should unless your skin is thoroughly (and gently) cleansed first. Cleansing is the foundation of healthy, glowing skin, the step that makes everything else possible.
Think about what your skin is exposed to in a single day - pollution, make-up, sweat, SPF, dirt. Skip cleansing and all of that doesn’t just sit on your face, it also transfers to your pillow… ready to greet you again the next night!
Face wipes won’t solve it either; they just smear debris around and upset the skin, not to mention their environmental impact. When the skin is properly cleansed, warm, soft, and free from build-up, it’s ready to drink in nourishment from your next steps.
That’s exactly why we created our Gently Nourishing Cleansing Balm. Unlike many foaming cleansers that strip away natural oils, our balm cushions your skin with butters and cold-pressed plant oils, feeding it nutrients instead of leaving it dry and tight. It feels luxuriously creamy to apply, and removing it with a warm, soft cloth brings not just a touch of gentle exfoliation, but also a moment of relaxation at the end of a long day. The lavender and grapefruit essential oils add a little extra therapy for the senses.
Our cleansing balm is designed to multi-task. It easily melts away make-up, even waterproof mascara, so you don’t need a separate remover. Our formulation avoids drying synthetics like alcohol or foaming agents, leaving skin hydrated and calm. Oily skin? Don’t worry! Using a gentle oil-based cleanser helps restore balance and prevents your skin from overproducing oil.
We’ve also chosen our ingredients carefully. None of the oils we use have a comedogenic rating higher than 2, meaning it’s highly unlikely to clog pores. Instead, your skin feels smooth, clear and refined. Because our formulations are waterless, they’re beautifully concentrated, so a jar lasts and lasts. And unlike many other balms that use beeswax, ours is vegan, Leaping Bunny Certified, and made with plant wax that’s just as effective and kinder to our bees.
If you already love our cleansing balm, here’s how to take the love even further. Spend a little extra time massaging the cleansing balm along your jawline and temples to release tension and boost circulation — it’s a simple step that transforms cleansing into a mindful ritual. Pause to take a few deep breaths of essential oil as you work the balm into your skin, letting the aromatherapy blend calm your mind. For days when your complexion needs more radiance, try mixing the balm with our Gently Resurfacing Facial Exfoliant for a deeper cleansing experience.
We believe cleansing should be more than just a chore. It’s a moment to pause, breathe, and reset. With the right ritual, your skin is left soft, glowing and balanced, and your mind a little calmer too. However busy your day has been, taking those few minutes for yourself can make all the difference.
