When your skin is easily irritated or gets dry during the day, knowing how to ‘fix’ it with your skincare routine can feel risky. Even the simple act of cleansing can kick off that tight, stripped feeling. You need ingredients that nourish and soothe, and a texture that glides on skin without tugging rough, sensitive areas. Yet this has often come at the expense of cleaning efficacy. Not any more.
We created Nourishing Cleansing Balm just for you. 100% natural and loaded with herbal oils and extracts (including our game-changing Zi Cao active from award-winning Nourishing Cream), it delivers deep moisture and hydration while dissolving daily dirt, make-up, SPF and more. Afterwards, skin feels clean yet calm, refreshed, supple and - importantly - comfortable.
Why Nourishing Cleansing Balm is best for dry, sensitive or mature skin types
Dry, dehydrated, sensitive or mature skin certainly benefits most from using our cleansing balm. Every ingredient is naturally ultra-gentle, it cuts through impurities without irritating or sapping skin, and is inherently rich in antioxidants to soothe and reinforce a compromised barrier.
“Having sensitive skin, I’m always cautious using new skincare as my skin is irritated very easily. This was amazing from first use. It feels soft, removes make-up, cleans your face and leaves my skin feeling nourished - this is the only cleansing balm I’ll use going forwards.” Steph, tester
100% natural, herbal cleansing power
All our cleansers are entirely free of soap, SLS and SLES, understanding these can exacerbate already-sensitive skin. With Nourishing Cleansing Balm, though, its silky-smooth complex contains even more super-charged actives to a bigger difference to your experience and results:
Soapwort | A herb with natural antibacterial qualities that gently cleanse and soothe skin.
Redroot (Zi Cao) | A rich, natural anti-inflammatory and the hero herb in our iconic Nourishing Cream Extract. We make our own Zi Cao Extract in our lab to optimise its intensely soothing action on skin and knew we simply had to harness it here too.
Squalane & Vitamin E | Potent herbal antioxidants that support healthy skin barrier function while also leaving skin feeling conditioned.
Grape, Sunflower & Camellia Seed Oils | Three lightweight, non-greasy oils with powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory qualities. We harness them to soothe, soften and protect sensitive skin from environmental stress, reduce redness and support skin barrier repair.
Peach Kernel Oil | Rich in Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids yet ultra-light, this is ideal for mature skin or those needing extra moisture. It helps bolster the skin barrier, reduce redness, visibly diminish fine lines, improve tone and leave post-cleansed complexions feeling soft and supple.
“Really enjoy using this. Removes make-up and my skin feels so soft and hydrated after. Very gentle, perfect for sensitive skin and the subtle scent makes the balm even more luxurious.” Sarah, tester
How to use Nourishing Cleansing Balm for best results
1. Warm a little Nourishing Cleansing Balm in hands and massage over a dry face and neck, avoiding the eye area.
2. Add a little water to increase cleansing action, then rinse thoroughly. Repeat morning and evening.
Expert tip #1: To add a gentle exfoliating action to your cleanse, remove Nourishing Cleansing Balm with a damp muslin cloth instead.
Expert tip #2: For a deep moisture boost, use Nourishing Cleansing Balm as a face mask. Smooth on clean, dry skin and leave for up to 15 minutes, or overnight, then rinse.
