Product Description:
Experience a transformative, weightless makeup remover that seamlessly glides on the skin and transitions from a balm to a milky emulsion. This makeup remover effortlessly dissolves even the most stubborn makeup and mineral sunscreen, leaving no residue. It is non-scented, non-greasy, non-drying, lightweight texture that not only cleanses thoroughly but also nourishes the skin, ultimately rinsing off completely, revealing a fresh, radiant complexion. Embark on a journey through three sumptuous textures in one product. The balm becomes a luxurious oil when gently massaged onto the skin, subsequently turning into a hydrating milk when in contact with water. This unique formula effortlessly exterminates long-lasting and waterproof makeup, daily impurities, and surface pollutants, delivering a deep cleanse and skin-softening effect after every use. Enriched with the combination of Sunflower Seed Oil, Sea Buckthorn, Vitamin E, Meadowfoam, Squalane, and Centella Asiatica, our cleansing balm provides a powerhouse of benefits, delivering deep nourishment, antioxidant protection, and skin-softening effects for a radiant and revitalized complexion.

Sea Buckthorn
Common Name(s): Sea buckthorn fruit oil,hippophae oil
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides wound healing, barrier repair, and antioxidant benefits from a uniquely rich multi-nutrient oil.
Why It's Used: Premium multi-active natural oil combining omega-7 (unique to sea buckthorn), carotenoids, and multiple antioxidants for comprehensive wound healing and anti-aging.
How It Works: Palmitoleic acid (omega-7) is sebum's dominant fatty acid โ providing skin-identical barrier repair. combined carotenoids (lycopene, beta-carotene) provide photoprotective antioxidant activity. flavonoids provide anti-inflammatory activity.
Typically Found In: Wound healing products,natural anti-aging oils,barrier repair formulas

Halal Status: Yes
Source Notes: Cold-pressed from hippophae rhamnoides berries. berry oil vs seed oil differ in fatty acid and carotenoid profiles.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1/5 โ very low
Comedogenicity Rating: 2/5 โ moderate; use diluted

Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Excellent safety profile. ewg score: 1.

SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Sea buckthorn berry oil's exceptionally high carotenoid content (>100mg/100g, compared to carrot oil's ~10mg/100g) and unique omega-7 palmitoleic acid composition make it one of the most nutritionally dense plant oils for skin wound healing and anti-aging.

Squalane
Common Name(s): Perhydrosqualene,2,6,10,15,19,23-hexamethyltetracosane
CAS Number: 0111-01-03
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides endogenous-skin-identical emolliency with exceptional stability and skin compatibility.
Why It's Used: The most skin-compatible emollient โ chemically identical to human sebum squalene component with outstanding tolerability across all skin types.
How It Works: Fully saturated hydrocarbon with zero oxidation sites provides exceptional stability unlike squalene's 6 double bonds. integrates into stratum corneum lipid bilayers with near-perfect biocompatibility. provides antioxidant protection to formulation via radical quenching.
Typically Found In: Facial oils,serums,non-comedogenic moisturizers,luxury body care
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Functional ingredient โ emollient
Secondary Functions: Maximum biocompatibility,antioxidant stabilizer,non-comedogenic
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 1%โ100%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Conditional โ plant-derived (sugarcane, olive) preferred; shark liver-derived being phased out
Halal Status: Yes โ plant-derived
Source Notes: Sustainable plant-derived squalane from sugarcane fermentation (amyris) or olive oil fractionation is preferred over shark liver-derived. chemically identical regardless of source.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1/5 โ very low
Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5 โ non-comedogenic
Sensitivity Concerns: Non-irritating.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Excellent safety profile. ewg score: 1.
Works Well With: Humectants,ceramides,actives as carrier
Avoid Combining With: No significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Squalene constitutes approximately 12-15% of human sebum โ the highest proportion of any skin lipid. topical squalane (stable, hydrogenated form) replenishes this abundant endogenous skin lipid. the complete absence of oxidizable double bonds (unlike squalene's 6 double bonds) eliminates the pro-oxidant concerns of natural squalene oxidation.

Sunflower Seed Oil
Common Name(s): Sunflower seed oil,botanical oil/butter,phytochemical active
CAS Number: N/a
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides emollient conditioning, essential fatty acid supplementation, and barrier lipid support from the natural triglyceride/wax ester composition.
Why It's Used: Natural carrier oils provide sc-compatible lipid composition for genuine barrier integration rather than surface-only occlusion.
How It Works: Fatty acid triglycerides integrate into sc lipid bilayers delivering oleic, linoleic, and linolenic acid for emolliency and barrier repair; essential fatty acids serve as ceramide biosynthesis precursors.
Typically Found In: Botanical skin care,natural products
