FAQ

Do I need a separate foam cleanser after using this balm

If you have oily or acne prone skin or wear heavy sunscreen or makeup, follow with a gentle water based cleanser. Drier skin types may rinse thoroughly and monitor how skin feels.

Can I use this to remove eye makeup

Yes. Keep eyes closed and rinse well. If you have sensitive eyes, avoid rubbing and consider micellar water on a cotton pad.

Will this clog pores or leave residue

When fully emulsified and rinsed with lukewarm water, the balm should not leave a film. Massage briefly, add water to emulsify, then rinse until clean.
