Why it works

What this formula actually does

Built around camellia sinensis (green tea) extract and screened ingredient by ingredient — here is what earns its place.

01

Green-tea balm-to-oil

Green-tea water and extract in a soft sherbet balm melt base and light makeup, sebum and grime, then rinse away.

02

Hygienic squeeze tube

A squeeze format means no spatula and no water in a jar, keeping the balm cleaner than a pot.

03

Clean, botanical-rich formula

PEG-free and fragrance-free with a large plant-extract complex; all 33 ingredients screen low-risk.

Our take

Most cleansing balms come in a jar and lean on fragrance and PEG emulsifiers. This one squeezes cleanly from a tube, melts makeup on a green-tea and botanical base, and stays fragrance- and PEG-free. Best for anyone who wants a gentle, hygienic daily balm for light-to-medium makeup; double-cleanse for heavy or waterproof makeup, and keep it away from the eyes. On a clean formula and hygienic format it stands out from fragranced jar balms, which is why it earns its place.

Worth knowing

  • Light, not for heavy makeupIt handles base and light-to-medium makeup, so waterproof or full point makeup needs a double cleanse or dedicated remover.
  • Temperature-sensitive, can sting eyesThe texture softens in summer and firms in winter, and it can sting if it gets into the eyes.
