Key ingredients

• Emollients: Cetyl ethylhexanoate and caprylic/capric triglyceride provide a silky glide. These ingredients help dissolve sebum and makeup while conditioning skin.
• Botanical oils: Camellia sinensis seed oil and Vitis vinifera seed oil add nourishing lipids. They contribute antioxidant-rich support and smooth rinsing.
• Centella complex: Madecassoside, asiaticoside and centella asiatica extract support barrier recovery. These ingredients are chosen for calming and restorative properties.

How to use

• Apply dry: Dispense a small amount onto dry fingers and apply to dry face. Massage gently to dissolve makeup and impurities.
• Emulsify: Add a little water to transform the balm to a milky emulsion. Continue massaging to lift residues before rinsing.
• Rinse: Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and follow with a water-based cleanser if desired. Pat skin dry and proceed with usual skincare.

How does it work?

• Oil-based cleansing: Lipid-soluble ingredients bind and dissolve oil-based makeup and sunscreen. Emulsifiers allow safe rinsing with water after use.
• Gentle formulation: Limited, selected ingredients aim to reduce irritation risk. The approach balances effective cleansing with care for the skin barrier.
• Packaging action: The grinding dispenser provides hygienic, measured doses for consistent application. This supports long-term product freshness and user convenience.
