Cleansing without compromise

A nourishing gel-to-milk cleanser, formulated to effortlessly melt away impurities and leave your skin feeling noticeably hydrated and refreshed.

• respects the skin’s natural barrier 

• gentle, effective and nourishing 

• leaves skin clean, refreshed, nourished and balanced, not dry 

• innovative gel-to-milk texture, transforms with water 

• for morning and evening

• for everyone, her and him

• vegan and gluten free

Cleansing Balm complements Dr. Hauschka’s facial cleansing range. Application is simple: when mixed with water, the gel forms a light milk that thoroughly removes impurities and light make-up, leaving the skin feeling smooth, nourished and refreshed. A mild formulation which helps preserve the skin’s own oil-moisture balance and prepares your skin perfectly for the next care step.

The main ingredient which acts as a cleansing substance is chalk, a component long-known precisely for its cleansing effect. It has a particularly large surface area which absorbs impurities and excess sebum, as well as a fine-grained structure ensuring it can be gently and easily rinsed off.

“We have developed Cleansing Balm for customers who want a simple to use, light cleansing product. The texture differs from our classic Cleansing Cream, but without sacrificing the Dr. Hauschka cleansing principle,” says Annette Greco, Head of Development at Dr. Hauschka.

“The gel-to-milk texture suits everyone. At the same time, we are contributing to environmental protection thanks to the fact that a little amount of product goes a long way”. This is because the low-water formula only transforms into a gently cleansing milk on moist skin. As the result, the amount of packaging needed can be reduced. Furthermore, the Cleansing Balm does not have a package insert, the tubes are made of post-industrial recycled aluminium and the folding boxes are also made of 100% recycled material with mineral oil-free inks based on renewable raw materials used for printing on them. 

Formulation: 

• chalk does an exceptional job of binding dirt particles and sebum, effectively cleanses, and is easy to wash off 

• apricot kernel, sunflower and olive oils which maintain the natural barrier of skin while cleansing 

• calendula extract which soothes and calms the skin 

• birch extract brings in dynamic support for the cleansing quality 

• anthyllis extract which guides all skin conditions to a state of balance and helps protect the skin 

• glycerine supports the emulsion and helps skin retain moisture 

• vegan - only plant glycerine from organic linseed oil is used in Dr. Hauschka products 

• the subtle aroma is clean and fresh and is only from natural and organic essential oils, with main ingredients being iris root, narcissus and mimosa flowers

Application:

Personal preference, some like to apply a hazelnut size Cleansing Balm to a dry face, then moisten palms with water, massage over your face and rinse off, others prefer the following method:

• wet the palms of your hands and your face

• place a small amount into the palms of your hands, it’s highly concentrated, only use around a pea size, up to a hazelnut size

• spread between palms of hands, the gel will transform to a milk with the addition of water

• massage it on to your face gently

• rinse with water 2-3 times, you don’t need a cloth

• for morning and/or evening use, your personal preference, for everyone, for her and him, including guys with beards

• avoid eye area 

PLEASE NOTE: use Dr. Hauschka Eye Make-up Remover for eye make-up removal
