A luxurious first step in your evening routine, this solid cleansing balm effortlessly melts away makeup, sunscreen, and daily grime. Inspired by the Joseon Dynasty's focus on pristine skin, it uses rice bran and grain extracts to cleanse thoroughly without stripping your skin's natural moisture, making it perfect for the Mauritian climate where waterproof SPF is a must. Its sherbet-like texture transforms into a silky oil, then a milky emulsion, leaving skin feeling soft, clean, and hydrated.

• Who is this for? Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and oily skin. It is an essential first step for anyone who wears makeup or sunscreen.
• What does it do? Effectively dissolves and removes all traces of makeup (including waterproof mascara), sunscreen, excess sebum, and impurities from the skin.
• Key Benefits: Cleanses without drying or stripping the skin, leaves skin feeling soft and moisturised, and helps prevent clogged pores. It does not blur or irritate the eyes for most users.

Use this cleansing balm as the first step in your PM routine.

1. [THIS PRODUCT] Radiance Cleansing Balm: On dry skin, massage an almond-sized amount to melt away makeup/SPF. Add a splash of water to emulsify, then rinse.
2. Water-Based Cleanser: Wash your face to remove any remaining residue.
3. Moisturiser: Apply your favourite night cream to seal in hydration.

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

This product is designed for your evening routine to break down the day's impurities.

• Minimalist (2-3 steps):
  1. [THIS PRODUCT] Radiance Cleansing Balm (First Cleanse)
  2. Water-Based Cleanser (Second Cleanse)
  3. Moisturiser (To lock in hydration)
• Optional Additions:
  • Toner/Essence: Apply after cleansing for an extra layer of hydration.
  • Serum: Use before your moisturiser to target specific concerns like dark spots or fine lines.

Texture Rule: This balm goes first on dry skin. After rinsing, follow the thinnest → thickest rule for your other products.

• Frequency: Use once daily, in the evening (PM).
• Amount: Scoop an almond-sized amount using the provided spatula.
• Apply to: Dry face, including eye and lip areas.
• Method:
  1. Gently massage the balm in circular motions for 30-60 seconds to dissolve makeup and sunscreen.
  2. Add a small amount of lukewarm water to your hands and massage again. The oil will turn into a milky emulsion.
  3. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
  4. Follow up immediately with a water-based foam or gel cleanser.
• If-This / Then-That:
  • Heavy/Waterproof Makeup? Massage for a little longer on those areas, or hold a balm-coated finger on waterproof mascara for 10 seconds before massaging.
  • Oily Skin? Don't skip this step! It effectively removes excess sebum and oil-based impurities that water cleansers miss. Ensure you follow with a second cleanse.
  • Contact Lenses? It's best to remove contact lenses before use to avoid any potential cloudiness from the oil.
• Safety: For external use only. Avoid getting directly into the eyes. If irritation occurs, discontinue use.

• Daily (PM): Use this cleansing balm every evening as the first step of your routine, especially on days you wear sunscreen or makeup.

This product is a gentle cleanser and does not conflict with active ingredients. You can safely use it on the same night as exfoliants (AHA/BHA) or retinoids.

• Immediately: Skin feels clean, soft, and comfortable after rinsing. Makeup, sunscreen, and surface oils are completely removed without any tight or stripped feeling.
• 2–4 Weeks: With consistent nightly use as part of a double-cleansing routine, you may notice fewer clogged pores and blackheads, as impurities are being thoroughly removed each day.
• 4–8+ Weeks: Skin texture may appear smoother and the overall complexion more radiant. By providing a perfectly clean canvas, this balm helps your other skincare products (serums, moisturisers) absorb and work more effectively.

• Why use this, not makeup wipes? Makeup wipes often contain harsh surfactants and preservatives that can irritate the skin and damage your moisture barrier. They also tend to smear makeup and dirt around rather than truly removing it, leading to clogged pores. This emulsifying balm dissolves impurities completely and rinses clean, which is far gentler and more effective for long-term skin health.
• Why use this, not just a water-based cleanser? Oil dissolves oil. An oil-based balm is necessary to effectively break down oil-based products like sunscreen, foundation, and even your skin's own excess sebum. A water-based cleanser alone cannot remove these impurities as effectively, which can lead to congestion.

As a wash-off cleanser, the Beauty of Joseon Radiance Cleansing Balm is compatible with virtually all other skincare ingredients and products.

• Works With: Any water-based cleanser, toner, essence, serum (including Vitamin C, Niacinamide, Retinoids, AHA/BHA), moisturiser, and oil.
• Use Carefully: No major conflicts. Simply ensure you follow with a second, water-based cleanser to remove all residue so that your subsequent leave-on products can absorb properly.
• Avoid On: Do not apply to broken or irritated skin.

• All Skin Types: Excellent. Its gentle, non-stripping formula makes it suitable for everyone.
• Dry Skin: Highly recommended. Cleanses without removing essential lipids, leaving skin feeling soft and nourished.
• Oily & Combination Skin: Highly recommended. Effectively dissolves excess sebum and oil-based impurities, helping to keep pores clear.
• Sensitive Skin: Generally well-tolerated as it is free from artificial fragrance and essential oils. However, a patch test is always advised.

• Thorough removal of makeup and sunscreen
• Dissolving excess sebum and surface impurities
• Preventing clogged pores and blackheads
• Gentle cleansing for sensitive skin

2. Massage and rinse off as you would on your face.
3. Wait 24-48 hours to observe for any signs of redness, itching, or irritation.
4. If no reaction occurs, it is likely safe to use on your face. Discontinue use immediately if you experience any irritation.

Teens: This is a safe and gentle first cleanser for teenagers, especially for removing daily sunscreen.

• Texture & Finish: A soft, solid sherbet-like balm that transforms into a smooth, silky oil upon contact with skin warmth. When water is added, it emulsifies into a light, milky liquid that rinses away cleanly, leaving skin feeling soft and hydrated with no greasy residue.
• Scent: Faint, pleasant, and slightly herbal/nutty scent.
• pH: Not applicable. As an anhydrous (water-free) oil-based product, it does not have a pH value.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia Folliculitis) Note: Contains Cetyl Ethylhexanoate and PEG-20 Glyceryl Triisostearate, which can be potential triggers for some individuals with fungal acne. However, as a wash-off product, the risk is significantly lower than with a leave-on product. Individual responses may vary.

• Issue: My eyes feel a bit blurry after use.
  Fix: This is common with oil-based cleansers if a small amount gets into the eyes. Try using slightly less product around the eye area and keep your eyes tightly closed while massaging and rinsing. Ensure you follow up with a water-based cleanser to remove all residue.
• Issue: It feels like there's a slight film left on my skin.
  Fix: This means the product wasn't fully emulsified or rinsed. Make sure you add enough lukewarm water to turn the oil milky, and continue massaging for about 15-20 seconds before rinsing thoroughly. Always follow with your second cleanser.
• Issue: It didn't remove all my waterproof mascara.
  Fix: For very stubborn waterproof makeup, let the balm sit on the area for 20-30 seconds to dissolve it before you begin massaging. A gentle massage with your fingertips should then lift it away.

This cleansing balm is perfectly suited for the hot and humid Mauritian climate.

• Humidity-Proof Cleansing: It effectively melts through sweat, sebum, and long-wearing or waterproof sunscreen that is essential for our strong sun.
• Post-Beach Day Essential: The perfect first step to gently remove stubborn, water-resistant sunscreen and saltwater residue without irritating sun-exposed skin.
• Comfortable Feel: Despite being an oil balm, it rinses completely clean, leaving no heavy or greasy feeling, which is ideal for our warm evenings.

• For a Lighter, Liquid Texture: SKIN1004 MADAGASCAR CENTELLA LIGHT CLEANSING OIL 200ML — Choose this if you prefer a traditional liquid oil cleanser over a solid balm. Why: It offers a runnier consistency that some find quicker to spread, and features Centella Asiatica for extra soothing benefits.
• To Target Clogged Pores: Anua HEARLEAF PORE CONTROL CLEANSING OIL MILD 200ML — Choose this if your main concern alongside cleansing is managing blackheads and congested pores. Why: This oil is formulated with Heartleaf extract, known for its purifying and anti-inflammatory properties, making it great for acne-prone skin.
• For a Different Soothing Focus: HOUSE OF HUR MIDNIGHT SOOTHING CLEANSING BALM 50ML — Choose this if you enjoy balms but want a focus on deep, oat-based soothing. Why: It uses a blend of Oat, Coconut, and Evening Primrose to calm and nourish very sensitive or reactive skin during the cleansing process.

Mindful Consumption Note: If you already have a comparable cleansing oil or balm at home, we encourage you to finish it first to avoid waste and to get a fair assessment of its results on your skin.

• Format: 100ml plastic tub with a screw-top lid and an inner lid that holds a small plastic spatula for hygienic scooping.
• Sustainability: The plastic tub is recyclable in Mauritius (check local guidelines). The brand is moving towards more sustainable packaging, but this product currently uses standard plastic.
• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. The solid balm texture is stable in the Mauritian heat and will not melt easily unless left in a very hot car.
• Travel: The solid format and secure lid make it travel-friendly and spill-proof.

• Rinsing & Residue: "I love that it emulsifies so well and rinses clean. My skin feels so soft and hydrated afterwards, not stripped at all. It doesn't leave a greasy film like some other balms I've tried." - Paraphrased from Reddit, r/AsianBeauty (2024)
• Scent & Sensitivity: "There's a very faint, almost nutty/herbal scent that is really pleasant and not overpowering at all. It hasn't irritated my sensitive, acne-prone skin." - YesStyle review (2024)
• A Fair Caveat: "The only minor issue is it can make my vision a little cloudy for a minute if I get it in my eyes, but that's pretty standard for oil cleansers. I just make sure to rinse my eyes well." - Amazon customer review (2023)

Beauty of Joseon is a Korean skincare brand that reinterprets the timeless beauty secrets of women from the Joseon Dynasty. Their philosophy is rooted in "Hanbang," traditional Korean herbal medicine. The brand focuses on creating gentle yet effective formulas that combine time-tested natural ingredients like ginseng, rice bran, and plum water with modern, science-backed actives to promote clear, radiant, and healthy skin.

• Cleansing Balm: A solid, oil-based cleanser that melts on contact with skin to dissolve makeup, sunscreen, and sebum.
• Double Cleanse: A two-step cleansing method, starting with an oil-based cleanser (like this balm) to remove oil-based impurities, followed by a water-based cleanser to wash everything away.
• Emulsify: The process of mixing oil and water. In cleansing, this happens when you add water to the oil on your face, turning it milky and allowing it to be rinsed off easily.
• Hanbang: Traditional Korean herbal medicine, which often informs the ingredient choices in K-beauty products.
• INCI: International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients. The official list of ingredients in a product.
• PAO: Period After Opening. The symbol on a product (e.g., "12M") that tells you how many months it will stay fresh after being opened.

At Adilsons, we are committed to providing you with authentic, high-quality K-beauty products. We believe in empowering our customers with truthful information and promoting mindful consumption.

1. Do I need to use this if I don't wear makeup?
   Yes, it's highly recommended. Sunscreen and your skin's own sebum are oil-based and are best removed with an oil cleanser like this balm. Thoroughly cleansing at night prevents clogged pores, regardless of makeup use.
2. How is this different from a liquid cleansing oil?
   The main difference is the texture and format. A balm is solid at room temperature, making it spill-proof and travel-friendly. A liquid oil is already in its oil state. Both function similarly by dissolving impurities and emulsifying with water. It comes down to personal preference.
3. Can this cause breakouts?
   This balm is formulated to be non-comedogenic for most people. However, if not rinsed off properly and followed with a second cleanser, any oil residue could potentially contribute to congestion for very acne-prone individuals. The key is to double cleanse correctly.

Best For: Anyone looking for a gentle, effective, and luxurious first cleanse to remove daily sunscreen and makeup.

Key Benefits:

• Melts away all traces of makeup and impurities without effort.
• Leaves skin feeling soft, hydrated, and clean, not tight or dry.

Keep in Mind:

• Like most oil cleansers, it can cause temporary blurry vision if it gets directly into the eyes.
