This highly nutritious, water-less balm has the unique concept of being both cleanser and hydrator! Similar to the “oil cleansing method” popular in Europe or cold-creams our mothers and grandmothers used, this delicious balm can be used to melt away daily grime and dirt, replenishing your skin with healthy, antioxidant-rich plant-derived oils and butters! Next, the balm can be used as a moisturizer, alone or with Stark’s CYPRESS Purity + Defense oil (an especially luxurious treat for a night-time ritual).

Use on dry elbows, parched lips or fly-away hair or as a great after-shave balm!

Benefits

• Grapefruit extract is cleansing and has astringent properties. Wonderful for occasionally problematic skin, also gentle enough for dry, sensitive skin. Has a wonderful, fresh aroma that is uplifting and invigorating. This balm smells absolutely mouth-watering.
• Un-processed Shea butter and raw organic cocoa butter heal, soften and protect skin with a light, natural SPF. Both have a rich history of use in Africa, which is now backed by scientific studies, that they are highly healing butters that can undo some of the damage done by the sun.
• Virgin organic coconut oil, long used in the Ayurveda tradition, has anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties due to its high content of fatty acids.
• Non-GMO soybean butter is chock full of isoflavones and stimulates collagen production. It is also rich in antioxidants and is an anti-inflammatory.
• Organic camellia seed oil (same plant as green tea) and organic sweet almond oil are light, soothing and healing oils, and are known to slow the aging process.
• We use candelilia wax for it's soothing properties, instead of beeswax.

Use a pea sized amount, and warm between fingers. Massage into skin and let the nutritious oils and butters be soaked up before gently wiping away with a warm, wet cloth. You may splash with water if you like. Next, it can be used as a moisturizer for face, body, lips and hair!

This product is preservative-free, so please wash and dry hands before scooping product out and please do not get any water in the balm. Water and oil are not friends! :) Use a clean teaspoon to scrape a small amount of product out, to prolong the life of your balm even longer. With proper handing, this product can stay fresh for up to 18 months.

"After a little over a week of using this product, my face was clearer than ever, extra soft, and remarkably hydrated."

"I unexpectedly love this cleanser... After using the balm, my skin looked and felt clean but refreshed rather than tight."

"This cleansing balm is gorgeous and makes skin feel fantastic! I really love the way my skin looks/feels."

"It is a solid, almost butter-like in consistency. When you put a small amount in your palm it heats up to a thickish serum/oil. It smells insanely good. like the juiciest, brightest grapefruit ever. And when you wash it off, not a trace of oil. Just glowy, soft skin. AMAZING and totally worth your time. And the packaging is so freaking cute!"
