“This gentle, skin-loving balm cleanser lifts away even long-lasting, waterproof makeup & sunscreen without a trace.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (olive oil peg-7 esters, peg-20 glyceryl triisostearate) and should be able to cleanse the skin gently. Still keep in mind that any cleansing can disrupt the skin barrier, and most people do not need to cleanse their skin more than once per day.

Lovely texture, the balm melts down to an oil between your fingers and is easy to massage into dry skin. I wiped it off with a washcloth and it took off everything, including waterproof mascara. Apart from the mascara, I wear very light makeup, but I'm sure this balm works for any makeup. You don't need a lot. There is no fragrance and it left my skin soft and clean. I don't feel the need to double cleanse when using it.
