Feeling like your sunscreen and daily grime are clinging to your skin in the Mauritian humidity? This sorbet-like cleansing balm is your perfect first step in the evening to dissolve it all.

It starts as a solid balm, melts into a silky oil on your skin to break down makeup, SPF, and excess sebum, then rinses clean with water. It's designed to purify without stripping your skin's natural moisture, leaving it feeling soft and clean, not tight.

• Product Type: First Cleanser (Oil-based Balm)
• Best For: All skin types, especially those who wear makeup or water-resistant sunscreen.
• Core Function: Effortlessly removes makeup, sunscreen, and impurities as the first step of a double cleanse.

Use this in the evening (PM) as your first cleansing step.

1. [THIS PRODUCT]: On a dry face, massage an almond-sized amount to melt makeup and sunscreen. Add a splash of water to emulsify (turn it milky), then rinse thoroughly.
2. Water-Based Cleanser: Follow up with a foaming or gel cleanser to wash away any remaining residue.
3. Moisturiser: Apply your favorite moisturiser to clean skin to lock in hydration.

Note: Already own a makeup remover or oil cleanser? Finish that first to avoid waste (substitute, don’t stack).

The double cleanse is a cornerstone of K-beauty, especially for thoroughly removing modern, long-wearing sunscreens and makeup.

• Minimalist (2-3 steps): 1) [THIS PRODUCT] (Oil Cleanse) → 2) Water-Based Cleanser (e.g., foaming wash) → 3) Moisturiser.
• Optional Additions: After cleansing, you can add a Toner, Serum, or Eye Cream before your moisturiser for targeted results.
• Texture Rule: In your routine, always apply products from the thinnest texture to the thickest. This balm is always the very first step on a dry face.

Daily Use — PM Only:

• Amount: Scoop an almond-sized amount using a clean spatula or dry fingers. A little goes a long way.
• Apply to: A dry face, including over eye makeup and lipstick.
• Method:
  1. Gently massage the balm onto your skin in circular motions. The solid balm will melt into a luxurious oil, dissolving makeup, sunscreen, and impurities.
  2. Add a small amount of lukewarm water to your hands and continue massaging. The oil will emulsify, turning into a milky texture.
  3. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water until no residue remains.
  4. Follow immediately with your second, water-based cleanser on your now-damp skin.
• Frequency: Use every evening that you have worn sunscreen or makeup.

If-This / Then-That:

• Heavy/Waterproof Makeup? Massage for a full 60 seconds to ensure everything is dissolved. You can use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe away residue before the final rinse for extra thoroughness.
• Oily Skin? Don't be afraid of this oil-based balm. It effectively dissolves your skin's excess oil and blackheads. Just be sure to follow with a second cleanser to remove all traces.
• Sensitive Eyes? While massaging, keep eyes gently closed. Some users may experience slight cloudiness if the oil gets directly in the eyes, which rinses away.

Safety: For external use only. Avoid getting the product directly into your eyes. Discontinue use if irritation occurs. Keep the inside of the jar dry to maintain product integrity.

• Daily (PM): Use this balm every evening as the first step of your cleansing routine to remove sunscreen, makeup, and the day's grime.
• Relationship with Actives: As a cleanser, it does not conflict with your leave-on actives (like retinoids or acids). In fact, by providing a perfectly clean canvas, it helps your treatment products absorb more effectively.

• Immediately: Skin feels clean, soft, and comfortable. All traces of makeup and sunscreen are visibly removed without a tight, stripped feeling.
• 2–4 weeks: With consistent double cleansing, you may notice fewer clogged pores and blackheads, as excess sebum is effectively managed each night. Skin texture may appear smoother.
• 4–8+ weeks: Continued use supports a healthy skin barrier by preventing the harsh stripping associated with improper makeup removal. This contributes to overall clearer and more balanced skin.

• Why use this, not a makeup wipe? Makeup wipes often smear dirt and makeup around the face and can contain harsh preservatives and alcohol that strip the skin barrier. This emulsifying balm dissolves impurities and lifts them cleanly away, respecting your skin's moisture balance.
• Why use this, not raw coconut oil? Kitchen oils like coconut oil are not designed to emulsify (rinse clean with water), often leaving a heavy, pore-clogging film behind. This balm is formulated with emulsifiers, ensuring it rinses away completely, taking all the grime with it.

• Works With: This is a rinse-off cleanser and is compatible with virtually all other skincare products. It prepares the skin for your leave-on routine.
• Must Be Paired With: A water-based (foaming, gel, or cream) cleanser to complete the double cleanse and ensure all oil residue is removed.
• Avoid On: Do not apply to a wet face. The balm works by using its oil phase to dissolve impurities on dry skin first.

• Oily / Combination Skin: Excellent. Effectively dissolves excess sebum and helps keep pores clear. Ensure a thorough second cleanse.
• Dry Skin: Excellent. Cleans without stripping essential lipids, leaving skin feeling comfortable and hydrated.
• Normal Skin: Excellent. A perfect first step to maintain skin balance.
• Sensitive Skin: Generally suitable, as it reduces the need for harsh rubbing. However, it contains fragrance, so a patch test is always recommended.

• Thorough makeup and sunscreen removal (including waterproof formulas)
• Clogged pores and blackheads caused by excess sebum and daily impurities
• Skin that feels tight or stripped after cleansing with harsh removers
• Dullness caused by improper cleansing

Key Ingredients Explained:

• Hyssop (Hyssopus Officinalis) Extract: A herb known for its antioxidant and purifying properties. It helps cleanse the skin of impurities and excess oils. (Ingredient Rationale)
• Rice Bran (Oryza Sativa) Oil: Rich in antioxidants and fatty acids, this oil helps to moisturize and soften the skin while effectively dissolving oil-based impurities. (Ingredient Rationale)
• Safflower & Jojoba Seed Oils: Lightweight, non-comedogenic oils that are excellent at breaking down makeup and sebum without stripping the skin's natural barrier. (Ingredient Rationale)

Full INCI List:

Cetyl Ethylhexanoate, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, PEG-20 Glyceryl Triisostearate, PEG-10 Isostearate, Polyethylene, Hyssopus Officinalis Extract (10ppm), Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Seed Oil, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Oil, Melia Azadirachta Leaf Extract, Melia Azadirachta Flower Extract, Coccinia Indica Fruit Extract, Amber Powder, Solanum Melongena (Eggplant) Fruit Extract, Ocimum Sanctum Leaf Extract, Curcuma Longa (Turmeric) Root Extract, Corallina Officinalis Extract, Moringa Oleifera Seed Oil, Water, Butylene Glycol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Fragrance.

Formulation Notes: This product is formulated without parabens, sulfates, or mineral oil. It is preserved with Glyceryl Caprylate and 1,2-Hexanediol.

• Fragrance Status: Contains added fragrance ("Parfum"/"Fragrance").
• Scent Profile: Users describe a pleasant, fresh herbal scent. Intensity is generally considered mild.
• EU Allergens: The full INCI list does not declare any of the 26 regulated EU allergens. However, components of the added "Fragrance" are proprietary and may contain them. A patch test is always advised for highly sensitive or allergic individuals.

Who should use with caution:

• Highly Fragrance-Sensitive Skin: As this product contains added fragrance, those with known sensitivities should perform a patch test.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia Folliculitis) Prone Skin: Contains ingredients like PEG-20 Glyceryl Triisostearate which can be a potential trigger for some. As a rinse-off product, the risk is lower, but caution is advised.

Patch Test Protocol:

1. Apply a pea-sized amount of the balm to a small, clean area of skin, such as behind the ear or on the jawline.
2. Massage and rinse as you would on the face.
3. Wait 24 hours to observe for any signs of redness, itching, or irritation. If a reaction occurs, discontinue use.

• Texture: A solid, sorbet-like balm that transforms into a smooth, silky oil upon contact with skin warmth. It emulsifies into a light, milky liquid with water.
• Finish: Rinses clean without leaving a heavy or greasy residue. Skin is left feeling soft and hydrated.
• Scent: Light, fresh herbal fragrance.
• pH: Not applicable for an oil-based, anhydrous product.
• Fungal Acne (FA) Compatibility: Use with caution. Contains PEG-20 Glyceryl Triisostearate, a potential FA trigger. Individual responses may vary, and the risk is reduced in a rinse-off formula.

• Issue: My skin feels like there's a film left after rinsing. → Solution: Ensure you are emulsifying properly. After massaging the oil, add a good splash of lukewarm water and continue massaging for another 20-30 seconds until it turns fully milky before rinsing completely. Always follow with a water-based cleanser.
• Issue: My vision gets blurry/cloudy after using it. → Solution: This can happen if the oil gets directly into your eyes. It is harmless and temporary. Keep your eyes gently closed while massaging the eye area and rinse thoroughly.
• Issue: I'm breaking out after starting to use it. → Solution: Ensure you are double cleansing thoroughly with a second cleanser to remove all residue. If breakouts persist, it's possible your skin is sensitive to an ingredient in the formula; discontinue use and focus on a simple, soothing routine.

• Humid Summers: An essential first step. The hot, humid climate means sunscreen, sweat, and sebum can form a stubborn layer on the skin. This balm effectively melts through that layer, preventing clogged pores and breakouts without adding heavy moisture.
• Drier Winters/AC Environments: Its gentle, non-stripping formula is perfect for cleaning skin without causing the tightness or dehydration that can be exacerbated by air-conditioning or less humid winter air.

Cleansing Balm

An oil-based cleanser in a solid, balm-like form. It is the first step in a double-cleanse routine, used to dissolve makeup, sunscreen, and sebum.

Double Cleanse

A two-step cleansing method. The first step uses an oil-based cleanser (like this balm) to break down oil-based impurities. The second step uses a water-based cleanser to wash everything away.

Emulsify

The process of mixing oil and water. When you add water to the cleansing balm on your face, it turns milky, allowing it to be rinsed away cleanly without leaving an oily residue.

INCI

International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients. The official, standardized naming system for ingredients used on product labels.

Non-Comedogenic

A term for products formulated in a way that they are not likely to cause pore blockages (comedones) and breakouts.

PAO (Period After Opening)

An icon on cosmetic packaging (an open jar with a number like "12M") that indicates how many months the product will remain stable and effective after it has been opened.

Do I need to use this even if I don't wear makeup?
Yes, it is highly recommended if you wear sunscreen. Modern sunscreens, especially water-resistant ones, are designed to cling to the skin and are not always fully removed by a simple water-based cleanser. This balm effectively dissolves them.

Is this the only cleanser I need?
No, this is a "first cleanser." It is designed to be followed by a "second cleanser" (a foaming, gel, or cream wash) to thoroughly clean the skin. This two-step process is called the "double cleanse."

Will this make my oily skin oilier?
No. Like dissolves like, so this oil-based balm is actually very effective at breaking down and removing the excess oil (sebum) on your skin. As long as you rinse it off properly and follow with a second cleanser, it will help balance your skin, not make it greasier.

Can I use this in the morning?
You can, but it's generally not necessary. A single water-based cleanser is usually sufficient in the morning. A cleansing balm is most beneficial in the evening to remove the accumulated layers of sunscreen, makeup, sebum, and pollutants from the day.

Best For: Individuals looking for an effective and gentle first step to remove daily sunscreen and makeup, especially in a humid climate.
