Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I use a cleansing balm? I've never used one before.
A: Cleansing balms are easy! With dry hands, scoop a small amount (about a quarter-size) and massage onto your dry face, including eye area, to dissolve makeup and sunscreen. The balm will melt into an oil. Add a little water and continue massaging—it will transform into a milky emulsion. Rinse thoroughly with warm water. Your skin will feel clean and nourished, never stripped.

Q: Will this clog my pores or cause breakouts?
A: No! Our cleansing balms are formulated with non-comedogenic botanical oils that actually help dissolve sebum and clear pores. The emulsifying action ensures everything rinses away completely, leaving no residue. Many customers with acne-prone skin find cleansing balms gentler and more effective than harsh foaming cleansers that can strip skin and trigger more oil production.

Q: Do I need to use another cleanser after this (double cleanse)?
A: It depends on your preference and skin type. Our cleansing balms are effective as a standalone cleanser for most people. However, if you wear heavy makeup, waterproof sunscreen, or prefer the "double cleanse" method, you can follow with a gentle water-based cleanser. For morning cleansing, the balm alone is usually sufficient.

Q: What's the difference between Melt Away and Bentonite Clay cleansing balms?
A: Melt Away is our gentle daily cleanser with 7 nourishing botanical oils—perfect for all skin types, especially sensitive or dry skin. Bentonite Clay adds purifying volcanic clay for deeper cleansing and detoxification—ideal for normal to oily skin, congested pores, or when your skin needs a more thorough cleanse. Both remove makeup and sunscreen effectively.

Q: Can I use this to remove waterproof mascara and eye makeup?
A: Yes! Cleansing balms excel at removing all types of makeup, including waterproof mascara and long-wear formulas. Gently massage the balm over closed eyes, let it sit for 10-15 seconds to dissolve the makeup, then rinse. No harsh rubbing needed—the oils dissolve makeup effortlessly.
