Squalane Cleanser

An emulsifying gentle cleanser to dissolve make up and impurities, while simultaneously retaining the skin’s moisture with a combination of squalane and lipophilic esters.

WHY IT’S SPECIAL

Take away the day’s grime without stripping the skin of moisture. This non-comedogenic and soap-free cleanser does a remarkably effective job of whisking away dirt, oil, debris and makeup – even more tenacious, long-wearing formulas.

Thanks to the emollient ingredients it contains – including fatty-acid rich squalane to help prevent loss of moisture and boost suppleness in the skin, together with lipophilic and emulsifying esters to melt away makeup and impurities for clean yet hydrated skin.

This balm-like cleanser melts upon the warmth of your hands into an oil texture, then emulsifies with water into a milky liquid for an easy rinse. An easy crowd-pleaser, this formula offers an extremely gentle option especially for those with normal to dry skin.

Suitable for: All skin types.

Feels like: A balm-like gel that emulsifies into a milky liquid.

pH Level: 5.50-6.50
