STEP 1: PRE-CLEANSE (Optional)
A balm-to-oil cleanser designed to do more than remove makeup: it helps support your skin barrier from the very first step.
This rich, essential fatty acid-infused cleansing balm melts away long-wear makeup, SPF and daily debris while actively nourishing dry, ageing and barrier-compromised skin.
Unlike traditional makeup removers that can strip and disrupt the skin, this microbiome-supporting formula helps create the ideal skin environment for healthy bacteria to thrive.
Why This Cleansing Balm Is Different
• Breaks down makeup, SPF and impurities without stripping
• Nourishes with essential fatty acids to support ageing skin
• Begins supporting the microbiome from Step 1
• Helps reduce transepidermal water loss (TEWL)
• Prepares skin for better absorption of serums and treatments

Real-World Skin Concern: Barrier Weakness & Chronic Dryness
Many cleansing products prioritise removal over skin health, leaving dry and ageing skin vulnerable, tight and depleted. This Nourishing Cleansing Balm respects the skin’s natural ecosystem while dissolving impurities, helping to support the skin barrier and a balanced microbiome, the foundation for healthy-looking skin.
