“All Clean Facial Cleansing Balm”
Source: Walmart

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (peg-20 glyceryl triisostearate, peg-8 isostearate) 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.

Peg-8 isostearateEffect: HighHelps water and oil mix together. Can work as a cleanser~2.4–3.5%

    It did not clean my BoJ SPF and BB cream that well (I am not a heavy makeup user though) and I had to rely on my second cleanser a lot. During the second tub (it lasted me about 3 months) I began to experience some irritation and acne. After changing Heimish balm with another make up remover (Bioderma Sensible mineral water) everything was ok. Since I was not experiencing any problems at first, this balm was the last thing I suspected to cause me breakouts
