The "Hero" Ingredients
- Avocado Oil — Botanical Nourishment & Skin Conditioning
- Rich in fatty acids and naturally occurring emollient compounds, Avocado Oil helps soften and condition the skin while providing the luxurious glide that makes cleansing balms so appealing. Its rich texture helps loosen oil-based makeup and sunscreen while contributing to a soft, comfortable after-feel.
- Emulsifying Wax — Creamy Balm Structure
- Emulsifying Wax contributes to the balm's rich, structured texture while supporting the transformation from an oil-rich balm into a milky emulsion when water is introduced. Its exact performance depends on the emulsifying wax system selected for the formula.
- Solubilizer — Effortless Balm-to-Milk Transformation
- The solubilizing system helps the oil-rich cleansing balm disperse into water during rinsing. This supports the signature balm-to-milk transformation, allowing loosened makeup, sunscreen and everyday impurities to rinse away more easily.
- Chamomile — Botanical Skin Comfort
- Chamomile is valued in skincare for its skin-conditioning properties. Incorporated into the cleansing balm, it complements the nourishing oil base and contributes to a gentle, comfort-focused cleansing experience.
- Pink Grapefruit Essential Oil — Refreshing Citrus Aroma
- Pink Grapefruit Essential Oil adds a bright, fresh citrus aroma that elevates the sensory experience. Its naturally occurring aromatic compounds create a refreshing botanical cleansing ritual.
- Optiphen — Preservation Support
- Optiphen is included as part of the formulation's preservation strategy. Its effectiveness and regulatory suitability depend on the exact Optiphen grade, finished-product composition and applicable market requirements.
Science Behind this Formula
BOTANICAL NOURISHMENT MEETS BALM-TO-MILK CLEANSING TECHNOLOGY
A luxurious cleanse should leave skin feeling refreshed, soft and comfortable—not stripped. CLC-FC6 Grapefruit Botanical Cleansing Balm combines nourishing Avocado Oil, Chamomile and an emulsifying system to help dissolve everyday makeup, sunscreen and impurities while providing a rich, conditioning cleansing experience.
At the heart of the formula is Avocado Oil, a botanical emollient that helps loosen oil-based makeup, sunscreen and sebum while providing smooth glide across the skin. Its naturally occurring fatty acids complement the formula's nourishing skin feel.
The signature transformation comes from the Emulsifying Wax and Solubilizer, which help the oil-rich balm disperse into water. As water is introduced, the formula is designed to transform into a delicate milky emulsion, helping loosened impurities rinse away more easily.
Chamomile contributes botanical skin-conditioning properties, while Grapefruit Essential Oil adds a bright, refreshing citrus aroma that elevates the cleansing ritual.
Together, these ingredients create a luxurious cleansing experience that begins as a rich balm and finishes as a silky milk, leaving skin feeling soft, smooth and comfortably cleansed.
THE RESULT:
A rich, makeup-melting cleansing balm that transforms into a delicate milk when water is added. Everyday makeup, sunscreen and impurities are loosened and rinsed away, leaving skin feeling soft, supple and refreshed without an overly greasy finish.
