Our cult-famous cleansing balm melts away sunscreen, makeup, excess sebum, and other oil-based impurities without stripping the skin or irritating the eyes. This sorbet-soft first cleanse leaves skin feeling soft, nourished, and clean.

Details

As the first step of your double cleanse, the Living Cleansing Balm transforms from a sorbet-soft balm into a silky oil that effortlessly dissolves oil-based impurities while nourishing skin with antioxidants, essential fatty acids, and vitamin E.

A lightweight blend of seaberry, grapeseed, and olive oils helps cleanse and soften skin while supporting its natural moisture barrier. Hints of rosemary, persimmon, and grapefruit create a sensorial, aromatic cleansing experience that leaves skin feeling refreshed and balanced.

  • 90 g / 3.17 oz (TSA Friendly)

Featured Ingredients

Seaberry/Sea Buckthorn Oil

Seaberry/Sea Buckthorn Oil

Rich in fatty acids such as stearic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid, and omega-6. The bright orange coloring is due to high lycopene and carotenoid content. With time the coloring will fade but does not diminish the effectiveness of the cleanser.
Olive Oil

Olive Oil

This nourishing antioxidant has anti-aging and anti-inflammatory benefits and protects your skin barrier as it is high in oleic acids and hydrophilic phenols. Studies show that the combination of olive oil and sea buckthorn restores compromised barriers.
Persimmon Extract

Persimmon Extract

Also known as diospyros kaki, this extract is a free radical scavenger that prevents premature aging and photo damage. It is known for its skin brightening effect by reducing hyperpigmentation, and can also regulate sebum production.

Grape Seed Oil

Grape Seed Oil

An antioxidant-rich emollient, this plant oil derived from grape seeds nourishes the skin while removing oil-based impurities gently. It has a high content of linoeleic acid, vitamin E and phenolic compounds, and an anti-inflammatory effect.
Vitamin E

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an essential component of healthy skin, that prevents premature aging due to its powerful antioxidant properties.

"Massaging a nourishing oil cleanser high in antioxidants from persimmons and seaberries, truly makes a difference to your skin."

Charlotte Cho, Founder of Then I Met You

FAQ
Can I use the Living Cleansing Balm every day?

Yes. The Living Cleansing Balm is gentle enough to use every morning and night. For the most thorough cleanse, follow with the Soothing Tea Cleansing Gel as the second step of your double cleanse.

My cleansing balm has faded in color. Is it still okay to use?

Yes. The Living Cleansing Balm gets its naturally marigold hue and citrus fragrance from antioxidant-rich sea berries and citrus fruits. Over time, exposure to light and air may cause the color and fragrance to fade, but this does not affect the product's safety or performance.

Is the Living Cleansing Balm suitable for sensitive skin?

The Living Cleansing Balm is formulated without artificial colorants, parabens, drying alcohols, mineral oil, or silicones, making it suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.

Will it remove waterproof makeup and sunscreen?

Yes. The Living Cleansing Balm is designed to melt away long-wear makeup, sunscreen, excess oil, and daily impurities without stripping the skin or irritating the eyes.

Do I need to double cleanse?

Yes, we believe in the science behind the double cleanse. Skin can break out and premature aging is a result of not thoroughly cleansing your skin of oil based and water based impurities. We recommend starting your double cleanse by massaging the balm into your dry skin and massaging the Living Cleansing Balm. Rinse off and with a damp face, follow it with the Soothing Tea Cleansing Gel for a complete cleanse.

    So good!

    I initially bought the travel size to try and loved it so much I got the full size plus another travel size. Takes everything off, even tinted mineral sunscreen and waterproof mascara, and it’s gentle on my very sensitive eyes. Highly recommended!
