Benefit This lightweight melting cleansing balm helps maintain skin hydration and comfort. The blend of gentle ingredients support the skin’s natural harmony, leaving it feeling soft and refreshed. It melts onto the skin, hydrates and removes makeup. Application Take an almond-sized amount of the cleansing balm with clean fingers or a spatula. Gently mass the balm onto dry skin using circular motions. Focus on areas with makeup or buildup. (Optional) Wet your fingertips with a little warm water and continue massaging to emulsify the balm. Rinse off thoroughly with warm water or wipe away with a soft, damp cloth. For a Hydration-Boosting Face Mask: After cleansing, apply a thin, even layer of the balm to clean, dry skin. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes to hydrate and nourish the skin. Gently rinse off with warm water. What do we stand for? We never put water first, as is the case with traditional emulsions. Our emulsion builds up entirely without water, which is why the Olea Europaea (olive) leaf comes first for us. However, water may be contained elsewhere in our INCIs as a breakdown from other ingredients. Our formulas never change, even as nature does. In over 20 years of creating products in synergy with nature, our formulas have never changed. Every year, the wisdom of nature brings us a new harvest with its own unique variations; an olive or apple harvest will taste a little different each year. And because we choose to work with raw materials instead of refined materials, these natural variations in taste, color, and scent are an authentic part of our products.Any fragrances contained in our INCIs are a composition of essential oils. According to the EU Cosmetics Regulation, these must be labeled under the generic term "perfume" or "fragrance" in the INCIs and plant allergens must be shown separately. In principle, OLIVEDA does not use synthetic fragrances. Our products are vegan, except for those made with honey from our own honeybees, or with colln peptides or goat milk powder.Our products are part of our Holistic Cycle. We protect overgrown mountain olive trees and extract from them the unique and naturally occurring hydroxytyrosol. The water we do not use in our products we bring to the people of Africa by building water wells. Our products are made in Germany with the raw materials from our own mountain olive trees. Our products are cruelty-free.
