Lulu and Marula Balancing Cleansing Balm

The Balancing Cleansing Balm by Lulu & Marula is a luxurious, multi-tasking cleanser that delivers both effective makeup removal and skin nourishment. Although marketed under lip care in some listings, it functions primarily as a facial cleansing balm that melts into the skin and transforms into a milky texture when rinsed. Formulated with a blend of natural oils like marula, almond, and coconut, it deeply hydrates while cleansing, helping to maintain the skin’s moisture barrier rather than stripping it. The balm is especially effective at dissolving stubborn makeup, including waterproof products, leaving skin clean, soft, and refreshed. Users consistently praise its gentle, soothing feel, noting that it leaves the skin smooth, balanced, and never tight or dry after use. The addition of ingredients like bentonite clay also provides a mild detoxifying effect, while essential oils give it a subtle, relaxing scent. However, because of its rich oil base and fragrance components, it may not suit everyone—particularly those with very sensitive or acne-prone skin, as some ingredients could feel heavy or potentially clog pores for certain users.

This is by far the best product for make up removal. Easily removes even waterproof make up and is extremely gentle on the skin. Love it!
