Melting Balm

Polishing Cleanser

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.

+DESCRIPTION
In consumer trials, 100% of participants agreed that Melting Balm is effective at leaving skin feeling dewy and glowy, after a single use.*

Melting Balm activates your cleanse in four ways:
  • Balm-to-milk cleanser melts upon contact with the skin to pick up impurities
  • Spherical Jojoba Esters polish and brighten, without stripping
  • Hydrating nutrients moisturise
  • Emollients from Fatty Acids seal and protect the skin barrier

Melting Balm Polishing Cleanser is a luxurious hybrid balm-to-milk cleanser that elevates your daily ritual into a transformative daily skin treatment. Rich in nourishing plant oils and polishing esters, it begins as a silky balm that glides over the skin, melting away makeup, SPF, pollution, and daily buildup. When activated with water, it emulsifies into a soft, milky fluid that rinses clean—no film, no tightness, never stripping—just ultra-supple, polished skin.

This multitasking formula cleanses, gently exfoliates, nourishes, hydrates, and softens, making it ideal as your first or only cleanse. It’s infused with Sunflower, Sweet Almond, Rosehip, Jojoba, Moringa, and Hemp Seed oils, each chosen for their ability to dissolve impurities while delivering high-performance skin nutrition. 

Rosehip Oil, rich in natural vitamin A, essential fatty acids, and antioxidants, helps support skin regeneration, visibly improve tone and texture, and promote a smoother, more even complexion. Moringa Oil delivers antioxidant protection and vitamin nourishment, while Hemp Seed Oil calms, hydrates, and reinforces the skin barrier with omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.

Beeswax and Jojoba Esters provide a protective cushion, locking in hydration and leaving skin soft and buttery, never stripped.

Whether used to begin your ritual or close your day, Melting Balm leaves skin visibly brighter, smoother, and fully restored.

+FOUNDER'S NOTE

SCIENCE BEHIND THE FORMULA

"This cleanser is an innovation I’m truly proud of. It starts as a rich, silken balm that melts effortlessly into the skin, lifting away sunscreen, makeup, and daily buildup. In phase two of the cleansing process, it transforms into a gentle, milky emulsion when water is added. During phase three, the gentle exfoliating properties add a subtle polish to the skin. The texture alone is transformative, but it’s the performance that makes it essential.

I wanted to create a cleanser that did more than just clean. One that respects the skin barrier while actively nourishing it. This goes beyond cleansing: it’s elevated, sensorial, effective, and kind to your skin barrier."
