This velvety cleansing balm melts away makeup, impurities, and the day’s stress without disrupting your skin’s delicate balance. Calendula-infused olive oil leads nine botanical oils in a formula that cleanses whilst nourishing. Enhanced with Protelan ENS for perfect rinsing—transforms to milk on contact with water, leaving only softness behind.
For skin that deserves cleansing without compromise.
This is a cleansing balm as it should be—effective yet gentle, thorough yet nourishing. The balm’s velvety texture melts on contact with skin warmth, creating a luxurious slip that dissolves even waterproof makeup without tugging or stripping. What makes it exceptional is what happens next: add water and watch it transform into a milky emulsion that rinses completely clean, leaving skin soft, balanced, and perfectly prepared for your next skincare steps.
The formula begins with our signature calendula infusion—fresh calendula flowers steeped in extra virgin olive oil for 4-5 hours at low heat, then rested to capture maximum healing compounds. This golden infusion calms inflammation and accelerates skin repair whilst you cleanse. Coconut oil’s lauric acid provides antimicrobial protection, keeping skin clear without disruption. Hemp seed oil delivers the perfect omega balance, strengthening your barrier whilst regulating oil production.
The cleansing intelligence comes from careful formulation. Safflower oil’s high linoleic acid content dissolves congestion in pores whilst maintaining hydration. Castor oil’s ricinoleic acid draws out impurities from deep within pores, creating an optimal environment for clear skin. Grapeseed oil ensures the formula never feels heavy, providing antioxidant protection whilst balancing sebum.
Our plant-derived emulsifier, Protelan ENS, is the secret to that perfect rinse. Unlike harsh surfactants, it transforms the oil into a milky cleanser on contact with water, removing every trace of makeup and impurity whilst depositing a veil of hydration. Cetyl alcohol provides that cushiony texture, while decyl glucoside ensures thorough cleansing without irritation.
The essential oil blend completes the experience. Frankincense promotes cellular renewal and reduces the appearance of ageing. Lavender calms both skin and senses, making evening cleansing a ritual of restoration. Lemon provides natural antibacterial action and gentle brightening, leaving skin looking fresh and clear.
Use it nightly and notice the difference. Makeup melts away effortlessly. Congestion clears without harsh extraction. Your skin feels clean but never tight, soft but never greasy. This is cleansing that respects your skin’s intelligence whilst ensuring pristine results.

The balm’s golden hue comes from our calendula infusion—a sign of its healing potency.
Evening cleanse: Scoop a hazelnut-sized amount (or more for full face and neck) with dry fingers. Warm between palms until it melts to oil. Massage onto dry skin in circular motions for 30-60 seconds, focusing on areas with makeup or congestion. The balm dissolves everything—waterproof mascara, long-wear foundation, daily grime.
The transformation: Add warm water to your hands and continue massaging. Watch as the balm turns milky-white, emulsifying perfectly. This isn’t just visual—it’s Protelan ENS creating the perfect rinse. Continue for another 30 seconds, then rinse thoroughly with warm water. No residue, only softness.
Morning refresh: Use a smaller amount (pea-sized) for a gentle morning cleanse. Perfect for removing overnight sebum without stripping. Massage briefly, add water, rinse clean.
Weekly treatment: Apply generously and leave on as a nourishing mask for 5 minutes before emulsifying and rinsing. The calendula and botanical oils deliver intensive healing during this extended contact.
With Ossie products: Follow with Bio-Lipid Serum Oil™ on damp skin for enhanced absorption. The clean, balanced canvas allows serums to penetrate optimally.

This is cleansing elevated—for those who understand that how you cleanse determines how your skin behaves.
Care & Natural Character
Your cleansing balm contains our signature calendula infusion and eight botanical oils. Here’s how to preserve its integrity.
Simple care: Store at room temperature—the balm softens in heat, firms in cold, but always melts perfectly on skin. Keep water out of the jar—use dry hands or our bamboo spatula (sold separately). Close tightly after use to preserve the essential oils. Use within 12 months of opening.
What makes it special: Each batch varies slightly depending on our calendula harvest—deeper gold indicates a particularly potent infusion. The texture changes with temperature, but performance remains consistent. You may notice tiny calendula particles occasionally—these are healing compounds from our infusion, not impurities.
The frankincense and lemon oils create a unique aromatic signature that evolves—brighter when fresh, deeper as it matures. All completely natural variations.
Safety & Trust
We use pure botanical oils, beeswax, and essential oils. Here’s what you should know.
Before first use: This balm contains essential oils (frankincense, lavender, lemon). Patch test if you have sensitive skin. Contains beeswax—not suitable for those with bee product allergies.
Important to know: Lemon oil can increase photosensitivity—always follow with mineral sunscreen in morning routines. The balm may temporarily blur vision if it gets in the eyes—rinse out easily with water.
All products are made in our workshop, where we use various botanical ingredients and bee products. Safe for pregnancy, but consult if concerned about essential oils.
External use only. Avoid direct eye contact—use a separate eye makeup remover if preferred.
Our promise: This is a cosmetic cleansing balm designed to remove makeup and impurities whilst maintaining skin comfort. While our ingredients offer additional benefits, we make no medical claims. Most notice immediate softness and improved skin clarity with regular use.

Why Amber Glass? A Conscious Choice for Performance & Purity
When formulating our products, the container was as important as the ingredients within. Amber glass represents our commitment to maintaining formula integrity from our atelier to your skin.
The Science of Protection
Amber glass filters out 90-95% of harmful UV rays that degrade delicate botanicals and active compounds. This natural light barrier prevents photodegradation—the breakdown of ingredients when exposed to light—ensuring your balm maintains its potency, color, and therapeutic properties throughout its life.
Unlike plastic containers that can leach chemicals or cardboard tubes with hidden plastic liners, glass is completely inert and non-reactive. It creates an impermeable barrier that preserves the true character of our formulations—no chemical migration, no contamination, just pure ingredients as we intended.
Performance Benefits You'll Notice
• Extended Potency: Essential oils and botanical extracts maintain their therapeutic properties months longer than in clear packaging
• Stable Formulation: Prevents oxidation that causes rancidity in natural oils and butters • Consistent Quality: Your last application performs as beautifully as your first
• Temperature Protection: Glass buffers against heat fluctuations that can destabilize emulsions
A Mindful Choice
Each amber jar represents conscious luxury—beautiful, reusable, and infinitely recyclable. The satisfying weight and cool touch elevate your daily ritual while respecting both your skin and environment.
This is formulation protection at its finest. Where science meets sustainability. Where your investment in quality skincare is preserved in packaging that performs.
