Coconut & hemp oil cleansing balm

Coconut oil magically melts away all makeup, including waterproof eye makeup, dirt and everyday grime from your skin. It is also solid at room temperature which gives this cleanser the added bonus of being great for travelling (provided you're not on your way to a hot tropical island!)



Coconut oil has antibacterial, anti-fungal and antimicrobial properties, plus it's very moisturising. 

This cleanser is enriched with hemp oil which adds calming skin benefits and also gives it the gorgeous green colour. We have also included vitamin E to give this cleanser an antioxidant boost for a longer shelf life.
Bonus: This can also double as a full body moisturiser! Just wait for it to fully absorb before getting dressed to avoid oil stains.

    To use
    Always use a clean spoon to get the balm on out of the pot, this way you don't risk contaminating the pot with dirt or moisture with your fingers.
    Apply to the face in a circular motion, massaging into skin.
    To remove use a warm damp face cloth.

    Substitutions

    • Coconut oil - We have used organic virgin coconut oil in this formula to get the full spectrum of skin benefits, including that gorgeous coconut aroma, however if you would prefer an odourless cleanser then you could use RBD coconut oil which will function the same.
    • Hemp oil - You can use any carrier oil you like in place of the hemp oil, just be aware this will change the look of the final product. Or you could leave the additional oil out entirely and make up the percentage with more coconut oil.
