Foams, Gels, Scrubs, Oils, and Creams: Why Cleansing Balms Are Best for Sensitive Skin
First, What Is a Cleansing Balm?
Loaded with herbal actives, our 100% natural cleansing balms begin in solid form. Warmed in dry hands, they transform into an ultra-rich oil, then a silky-soft milk when mixed with water. Once on your face, it works swiftly to clear dirt and excess sebum—crucially without stripping the skin barrier of protective oils. This is what makes our cleansing balms so beneficial for you.
4 Big Benefits of Our Cleansing Balms
1. A Kinder Cleanse
We know how much soap and SLS upsets problematic skin. Instead, we harness Soapwort, Coconut, and Activated Moso Bamboo Charcoal for a gentle yet deep clean that won’t dry or irritate skin.
2. A Deeper Cleanse
The oil-based nature of our cleansing balms means they attract excess oil from skin, helping restore a better-balanced complexion, while shifting thick, stubborn, or waterproof formulations (such as SPF).
3. A Conditioning Cleanse
Keeping sensitive or problematic skin calm and conditioned is our top priority. Beyond their herbal cleansers, our balms are rich in Zi Cao, Squalane, and Vitamin E to soothe, nourish, and strengthen, leaving your post-cleansed skin exceptionally supple, soft, and comfortable.
4. A Relaxing Cleanse
To break down dirt and penetrate pores, our cleansing balms need massaging into skin for a minute or so. As you work around your forehead, temples, jawline, and neck, this inevitably helps ease tense, tight muscles in these areas and encourages you to pause.
Choose Your Ideal Cleansing Balm
Normal, Dry, Dehydrated & Sensitive Skin
Nourishing Cleansing Balm is tailormade for you. Along with Soapwort, Squalane, Vitamin E, and Jojoba, it harnesses the same unique Zi Cao extract from Nourishing Cream. So, as well as being an incredible cleanser, your skin will especially appreciate its intensely soothing action.
Combination or Blemish-Prone Skin
If your skin is imbalanced or acne-prone, Charcoal Cleansing Balm is a must-have. Its complex of Activated Moso Bamboo Charcoal and Soapwort detoxifies, exfoliates, and soothes. Excess sebum and blocked pores clear, blemishes improve, and smoother, balanced skin is restored.

Did You Know?
Men’s skin is thicker, has larger sebaceous glands, and is affected by higher testosterone levels. It, therefore, produces up to twice the amount of sebum as women’s skin, so it is typically oilier.
How to Use Our Cleansing Balms
- Warm a little balm in your hands and massage over a dry face and neck, avoiding the eyes.
- Increase cleansing action by adding a little water and continue massaging in.
- For extra exfoliation, dampen a muslin cloth and work in circular motions over skin. Rinse face thoroughly.
