Oat Kernel Oil and Colloidal Oatmeal combine to cleanse and soothe the skin. Fragrance-free and non-drying, suitable for AM and PM use.


Effective makeup removal - with Oat Kernel Oil

Oat Kernel Oil is a rich natural oil containing ceramides and omega 3 and 6 fatty acids that helps break down oil-based impurities and long-wear cosmetics.

Removes visible traces of makeup, including waterproof and long-wear products, when massaged onto damp skin and rinsed.

Soothes redness and sensitivity - with Colloidal Oatmeal

Colloidal Oatmeal forms a calming barrier on the skin surface, helping to comfort dry, tight or reactive skin and reduce the appearance of redness.

Helps skin feel calmer after cleansing, making the balm suitable for sensitive or easily irritated complexions.

Hydrating, non-stripping finish - with soft, rich texture

A soft, rich texture cleanses without removing natural oils, formulated to be non-drying and gentle enough for twice-daily use.

Leaves skin feeling hydrated and nourished rather than tight, and can be left on for ten minutes for an extra nourishment boost.
