Key ingredients

Cupuaçu Butter — This rich Amazonian fruit butter has an exceptional ability to hold water. On the skin, that means helping preserve precious moisture, leaving your complexion supple rather than stripped.

Camellia Seed Oil — Long treasured in Japanese beauty rituals, camellia has a remarkable affinity with the skin. Silky and conditioning, it helps the balm glide over the complexion while cleansing without disturbing that comfortable, nourished feeling.

Pumpkin Seed Oil — Deep green and packed with naturally occurring plant nutrients, pumpkin seed oil brings extra nourishment to the cleansing process. It helps maintain the skin’s protective barrier so your complexion feels cared for even after the balm has been removed.

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.

  • Sample sets
  • The Discovery Set

Melts Away Make-upNever StrippingNourishes As It CleansesLeaves Skin Soft

Tax included.Shipping calculated at checkout.

Meet the balm that started it all. Our bestselling cleanser melts away make-up, SPF and the day while it nourishes, so skin is left clean, soft and comfortable, never tight.

Nourishing fruit butters and omega-rich seed oils dissolve make-up and SPF while preserving the skin's own hydration, and linoleic-rich safflower and grapeseed help support a healthy skin barrier. Grapefruit and lavender essential oils bring a fresh, calming aroma.

Waterless, concentrated and handmade in small batches for a thorough yet gentle cleanse. Perfect for dry, dull or changing skin, and anyone who loves a cleanse that feels like a treat. Suitable for most skin types.

Unwind your mind. Breathe in the grapefruit and lavender and let the day melt away with it.

How to use

Massage into dry skin and let the balm melt away makeup, SPF and the day. Take a breath, then remove with a hot cloth. Nothing stripped, nothing tight, just clean, comfortable skin.

Gently Nourishing Cleansing Balm

Recently, I decided to use up some other products in my cabinet before re-ordering more Husk and Seed - result- my skin felt tight and dry. After replenishing my stocks and reinstating my cleanser and moisturiser from Husk and Seed within a few days my skin felt rehydrated and soft. I’ve been using Husk and Seed for a number of years now, the products are not only luscious but fantastic for my skin’s wellbeing.
