Dr.Althea Pure Grinding Cleansing Balm
Dr.Althea Pure Grinding Cleansing Balm is a minimalist yet effective make-up remover and facial cleanser, crafted from just 14 carefully selected, natural ingredients. The formula was designed with sensitive skin in mind – it provides a deep yet gentle cleanse that effortlessly dissolves sunscreens, make-up, and even waterproof products, leaving skin soft, hydrated, and comfortable.
What makes this balm stand out?
At the heart of the formula are botanical oils and soothing active botanical extracts:
• Madecassoside — a purified extract from Centella Asiatica, valued for its exceptional soothing properties and support for the skin's protective barrier.
• Centella Asiatica Extract — an iconic ingredient in Korean skincare that soothes irritation and aids in skin regeneration.
• Asiaticoside — another active compound derived from Centella Asiatica, enhancing the skin's resistance to external factors.
• Camellia Sinensis Seed Oil — rich in antioxidants and fatty acids, this lightweight oil deeply nourishes and softens the skin.
• Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil — full of linoleic acid and polyphenols, it hydrates the skin and helps protect it from oxidative stress.
Key Benefits
• Effective and gentle cleansing — effortlessly removes heavy make-up, waterproof mascara, and SPF formulas without irritating the skin.
• Hydrating and nourishing finish — unlike many make-up removers, the balm leaves skin soft and moisturised, without a tight feeling.
• Hygienic swivel dispenser — innovative packaging with a twist mechanism allows for hygienic and precise product dispensing without dipping fingers into the jar.
• Minimalist formula — the formula contains only 14 ingredients, reducing the risk of irritation and making it an ideal choice for reactive and sensitive skin.
Texture and Experience
The balm spreads across the skin like butter, transforming into a light cleansing oil with warmth. With a small amount of water, it emulsifies into a milky consistency that rinses off without leaving a greasy film. The product is virtually fragrance-free, making it particularly suitable for those sensitive to scents.
Who is it for?
This balm is an excellent first step in a double cleansing routine. It pairs perfectly with a water-based cleanser used as a second step, ensuring thorough yet gentle daily cleansing. Suitable for sensitive, dry, combination, and normal skin.
