Key ingredients

Shea Nilotica — With its naturally softer texture than traditional shea, Shea Nilotica melts readily against warm skin. It cushions dry, sensitive complexions during cleansing and helps prevent that tight feeling afterwards.

Coconut Oil — Coconut oil gives the balm its wonderful melt-on-contact quality, helping dissolve make-up, SPF and daily build-up so they can be gently swept away with a warm cloth.

Safflower Seed Oil — Safflower is particularly well suited to delicate skin. Its high linoleic acid content helps support the skin barrier while cleansing, making it a lovely addition when skin is easily unsettled.

Full ingredients

Shea Nilotica Butter, Cupuaçu Seed Butter, Coconut Oil, Camellia Seed Oil, Safflower Seed Oil, Pumpkin Seed Oil, Grapeseed Oil, Candelilla Wax, Vitamin E. Nothing Else.

INCI

Vitellaria Paradoxa Butter, Theobroma Grandiflorum Seed Butter, Cocos Nucifera Oil, Camellia Oleifera Oil, Carthamus Tinctorius Seed Oil, Cucurbita Pepo Seed Oil, Vitis Vinifera Seed Oil, Euphorbia Cerifera Cera, Tocopherol.

30-Day Happy Skin PromiseRefund or store credit on full sizes

Trying new skincare takes a little trust, especially when your skin has been unpredictable. So here's our Happy Skin Promise in return: if a full-size product isn't right for you or your skin, you have 30 days from delivery to send it back for a refund or store credit, whichever you'd prefer.

How it works

  1. Email us at customersupport@huskandseedskincare.co.uk within 30 days of your order arriving, with your order number and a quick note on how you got on. We'll reply with everything you need.
  2. Post the product back to us with at least 80% left in the jar or bottle. A couple of weeks is plenty of time to know how your skin feels about something.
  3. If a free gift came with your order, pop it in the parcel too, otherwise its value may come off your refund.
  4. Return postage is paid by you, so we'd recommend a tracked service.
  5. Once it reaches our studio in Kent, we'll refund what you paid (minus the original delivery charge) or give you store credit instead.

This cleanser is really lovely. A little goes a long way and it’s perfect for my sensitive, reactive skin.

Super Sensitive Cleansing Balm

Amazing cleanser! My skin is very sensitive and prone to reactions with various ingredients including some natural ones. This is the first cleanser that leaves my skin soft and clear and calm. Would highly recommend.

Super Sensitive Cleansing Balm

A lovely soft buttery cleanser that removes make up and daily grime, it's so gentle on my sensitive skin, it leaves it feeling wonderful

Super Sensitive Cleansing Balm

Having been diagnosed with a Balsam of Peru allergy I was struggling to find products that didn’t contain that, or related ingredients. (Those ingredients constantly make the eczema round my eyes flare up.) I’ve been using this, and the super sensitive moisturiser for the last 2 months and have managed to avoid steroid creams and flare ups since. To start with it felt oily as it’s so different to what I was used to but now I am used to it, I love it and my skin definitely feels softer for it.

Super Sensitive Cleansing Balm

A lovely and gentle way to cleanse. Melts into the fingertips, pressed over my face and gently worked into my skin. Then I wipe away the day with a soft face cloth. Skin feels nourished and no irritation. I really love it.

Super Sensitive Cleansing Balm

Glorious butter-soft balm which is gently effective at cleansing the skin yet feels luxurious. It feels an absolute treat to use. Incredible find, I love it!

Super Sensitive Cleansing Balm

Removes light makeup well on one application. Quickly dissolves to an oil and easily distributed . Comes away well on two swipes of a warm rung out cloth. Not sure of use around eyes but so far no irritation. Also can easily use too much just a large fat pea size seems sufficient

Super Sensitive Cleansing Balm

I have super sensitive skin, I love the way your cleanser makes my skin feel after using it.

Super Sensitive Cleansing Balm

Love these products - fantastic for my sensitive skin and redness - plus so nice to finally move away from other toxic products too that I used in the past

Super Sensitive Cleansing Balm

Beautiful nourishing cleanser. I have been using for a while and would not use anything else . Gentle on the eyes. Love the way it leaves my skin feeling

Super Sensitive Cleansing Balm

Fantastic product. Wonderful company run by women with great ethics. So glad I found this company and its amazing products.

Super Sensitive Cleansing Balm

I have acne and have recently developed rosacea, I find it difficult to find skincare products that don't aggravate my skin. The sensitive cleansing balm hasn't caused my skin to flare, it feels really lovely and leaves my skin feeling clean, soft and moisturised.

Super Sensitive Cleansing Balm

My order arrived very quickly and I was so pleased when I tried the cleansing balm. My skin felt lovely afterwards.

Super Sensitive Cleansing Balm

I have eczema and this balm has passed the test it helps keep my skin soft and moisturised and having no perfume from no essential oils is perfect for me it feels like a nice ritual and it’s lovely that it has a natural scent that doesn’t irritate or dry out the skin. It’s quite special! ❤️

Super Sensitive Cleansing Balm

I absolutely love the cleansing balm, feels lovely on my skin, melts away makeup. No irritation at all. Love husk and seed, wouldn’t use anything else Been using for over 2 years now.

Super Sensitive Cleansing Balm

The most beautiful cleanser. Gentle and nourishing. Removes eye make up with no irritation

Super Sensitive Cleansing Balm

This cleansing balm may well be gentle for sensitive skin but that doesn’t mean it’s not effective. It’s my favourite cleanser and I totally recommend it.

Super Sensitive Cleansing Balm

Perfume free beautiful cleanser. Would never use anything else. So nourishing 🥰

Super Sensitive Cleansing Balm

I’ve been using the Super Sensitive Cleansing Balm, and it’s quickly become a gentle yet effective essential in my skincare routine. I love how it removes makeup and impurities without stripping my skin, leaving it calm, hydrated, and balanced. As someone with sensitive skin, I really appreciate that it delivers comfort and nourishment with every use.

Super Sensitive Cleansing Balm

Wasn’t sure initially as it felt really greasy but my skin feels so much softer and it’s being exfoliated at the same time.

Super Sensitive Cleansing Balm

My 12 year old uses this product, she has eczema and sensitive skin, this product is great, cleans beautifully without drying her skin out, her skin is so soft

Beautiful product. Equally as lovely as the original cleansing balm but with no perfume. Leaves my skin cleansed and nourished. A little goes a long way

Super Sensitive Cleansing Balm

The best cleansing balm I’ve ever used! Perfect for my very sensitive skin!

Super Sensitive Cleansing Balm

This is my favourite cleanser from the husk and seed range. I have tried them all. I like them all. But something about this product just edges it to top spot in my opinion.

Super Sensitive Cleansing Balm

I absolutely love the super sensitive balm. Use it every night. Just feels wonderful on my skin, melts away makeup. It’s like having a facial every night along with all the other lovely products I’ve bought from Husk and Seed.
