For buttery, soft clean skin. Our Super-Intelligent hybrid balm-to-milk cleanser cleverly washes away the days impurities, makeup and sunscreen whilst simultaneously moisturising, smoothing and brightening the skin, leaving your skin healthier and more hydrated.

+KEY BENEFITS & RESULTS

For buttery soft, clean skin. Melting Balm is a hybrid balm-to-milk cleanser that melts into the skin, dissolving makeup, sunscreen and daily buildup without disrupting hydration or the skin barrier.

It melts into the skin to lift impurities, then emulsifies with water to rinse clean without residue or tightness. Spherical jojoba esters provide a soft polishing effect to buff and refine, while a blend of sunflower, sweet almond, rosehip, moringa and hemp seed oils cushions the skin in nourishment. Rosehip helps improve tone and texture, while moringa and hemp seed oils deliver antioxidant support and essential fatty acids to reinforce the natural barrier. Beeswax and jojoba seed oil help seal in moisture, leaving skin smooth, balanced and hydrated. The perfect base for everything that follows.

Key Benefits

  • Dissolves makeup, sunscreen and daily buildup
  • Maintains hydration and skin barrier integrity
  • Rinses clean without residue or tightness
  • Gentle polishing effect to buff and refine
  • Nourishes with antioxidant-rich botanical oils

    Great, simple product that does it all!

    Really like this balm and brand. I am new to cleansing balms and imbibe but this is the second balm I have tried. This balm does not leave your skin oily, does not over exfoliate or under cleanse, it really balances my skin as I have dry, reactive and sensitive skin and its not too much for my skin to handle and balances the oils in my skin really well. Really liking this product so far!

    I've got this on subscription

    I decided to try this when my usual beautician cleanser was out of stock and I havent gone back. It lasts 3 months, is very gentle on my 45yr old skin but is so effectively cleansing. My nightime cleanse used to be a chore but now it is the start of my end of day wind down.

    VISIBLE RESULTS, GREAT PRODUCTS

    After using both the Miracle Collagen and Beauty Renewal and seeing results in my skin with hydration, glow and overall feel, I’ve now just placed a subscription order as I know I will continue to used these products in my daily health routine. I’m looking forward to trying the new Super Skin I’ve ordered. The Collagen Lips is also very hydrating. Thanks so much for these products that taste great and are easy to use.
