Golden nectar jelly balm cleanser
Elevate your cleansing experience - cleansing is arguably one of the most important steps in a skincare routine, so why not enjoy a moment of self-care and indulge in some luxury! This decadent, transforming jelly oil-to-milk cleansing "balm" breaks down make up, sunscreen & impurities while respecting the skin’s natural barrier. Formulated with a gentle glycerin-rich emulsifier and a unique blend of lightweight oils (without any butters or waxes), to effectively cleanse without disrupting the protective skin barrier, leaving the skin feeling clean, hydrated and nourished. The gelled oil melts upon contact with the skin and can be massaged over the face without any dragging or stickiness. If you find traditional cleansing balms tend to clog your pores, you may fare better with this!
Rinse off formulation (note due to the emulsifier used in the formulation, this cleanser leaves a slight moisturising film - making it ideal for dry skin). Alternatively use a washcloth or follow with a water-based cleanser if needed.
