Josh Rosebrook Essential Balm Cleanse is a dynamic, pH-balanced, oil-based makeup remover and facial cleanser. This gel-to-milk formula dissolves makeup and impurities with an ultra-gentle surfactant suitable for all skin types and conditions, including ultra-sensitive skin. Micronutrient-dense plant oils, antioxidant-rich blue-green algae, chlorella, microbiome-supporting probiotics, and in-house made herbal extracts nourish, calm, and soothe skin while preserving the skin's delicate acid mantle barrier. This cleanser does not contain essential oils and carries a light aroma originating from the in-house made herbal extract within the formula.
Key Ingredients
Every ingredient in this formula serves a purpose. No harsh surfactants, no essential oils, no filler.
Meadowfoam Seed Oil: A stable, emollient-rich oil that dissolves makeup and impurities while leaving skin soft, not stripped.
Tamanu Oil: Supports skin nourishment and helps calm the appearance of irritation as it cleanses.
Helichrysum Flowers: A botanical extract that soothes and calms skin while supporting the skin's natural barrier.
Chlorella Powder & Blue-Green Algae Extract: Antioxidant-rich micronutrients that nourish skin during the cleansing process.
Green Tea Leaf & Chamomile Flowers: Rich in antioxidants. Calm and soothe skin with every use.
Indian Soapberry Fruit Extract: A plant-derived, ultra-gentle surfactant that creates a milky lather without disrupting the skin's acid mantle.
Lactobacillus Ferment Lysate Filtrate: Supports the skin's microbiome while cleansing.
How to Use
Add a small amount to clean hands and gently spread over face using circular motions. Add water to create a milky lather. Rinse with warm water and gently pat dry. Follow with Hydrating Accelerator, Hydration Boost Concentrate, Active Infusion Oil, and Vital Balm Cream.
Tips
A few ways to get the most from this cleanser:
Apply to dry skin first to dissolve makeup and SPF before adding water, for a true oil-cleanse step.
Use as a first cleanse, following with a second cleanser if double-cleansing.
Massage for a full 30 to 60 seconds to give the gel-to-milk transformation time to lift impurities.
Gently pat, rather than rub, skin dry to preserve the acid mantle barrier post-cleanse.
