How it works

The Cleansing Balm works by incorporating a blend of emollients, moisturizers, and antioxidants to help cleanse and hydrate the skin. Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride acts as an emollient to soften the skin, while Prunus Armeniaca (Apricot) Kernel Oil provides nourishment. Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter and Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Wax contribute to the moisturizing and thickening properties of the balm. The inclusion of Rubus Idaeus (Raspberry) Seed Oil and Vaccinium Macrocarpon (Cranberry) Seed Oil adds further hydration. Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, a form of vitamin C, serves as an antioxidant, potentially helping to improve the appearance of the skin. Mangifera Indica (Mango) Seed Butter conditions the skin, making it feel smoother and more supple. When used with the provided muslin cloth, the balm helps to effectively cleanse the skin while maintaining its moisture balance.
