THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO CLEANSING BALMS FOR SENSITIVE, RED PRONE SKIN
Tired of cleansers that leave your sensitive skin feeling tight, irritated and even MORE red than before? We feel you! If you've been playing skincare roulette with countless products only to end up with angry, reactive skin, it's time to meet the cleanser that's about to change everything…
Is your cleanser making your redness worse?
First, let's talk about traditional cleansers . Most conventional formulas, especially those foamy ones that promise that "squeaky clean" feeling are secretly your red skin's worst enemy! Here's the deal, while many cleansers effectively remove makeup and dirt from your skin, they are also stripping away your skin's natural protective oils, disrupting your skin's delicate moisture barrier. Plus, let's not forget about those synthetic fragrances, which can trigger inflammation and irritation in the skin. That "clean" feeling you've been chasing? It could actually be your skin crying out for help!
Why are oil based cleansers so game changing?
We know what you're thinking "Put MORE oil on my already troubled skin? Are you serious?" But stay with us! Our Calm & Nourish Liquid Cleansing Balm works on a simple principle: like dissolves like. In real-world terms, this means the oils in our cleansing balm love to dissolve the excess sebum lurking on your skin that can cause all kinds of trouble as well as makeup, pollutants and SPF. It does this without stripping your skin of all the goodness it needs to stay calm and balanced.

Our cleansing balm contains natural prebiotic ingredients that feed the good bacteria on the skin’s surface to help strengthen your skin's natural barrier and maintain the perfect pH balance. Keeping your skin strong and allowing it to defend itself from environmental stressors that can contribute to those frustrating flare-ups of redness and sensitivity.
