Balance Me Super Berry Cleansing Balm

Well, here’s a bit of a surprise.

When this landed on the desk, notwithstanding the pedigree of its creators at Balance Me, we thought: ‘Hmmm, a simple cleansing balm…? Do we really need that in our lives, when there are so many other natural cleansing options (literally) at our fingertips?’

Answer: YES. YES. YES.

First up, Super Berry Cleansing Balm has an incredibly indulgent texture: just the perfect amount of slip, without being greasy. It’s neither too solid in a cold bathroom, nor too runny. (If Goldilocks was looking for a cleansing balm, she’d settle on this as being just perfect.)

it is a joy to massage it into skin to remove grime and make-up build-up. But it is most of all a joy for the senses: smell, as well as touch. There are essential oils of Holy basil and lavender in there, among others – very calming, at the end of a stressful day.

Beyond that, Balance Me have also carefully selected the oils in this cleanser to have skin-caring benefits. There are antioxidant/omega-rich raspberry seed, blackberry and Arctic cloudberry oils, plus jojoba and rosehip oil. It’s early days, but we think this glass pot is going to last aeons.

Not just any old balm cleanser, then. And YES, YES, YES: we think you really need this in your life, too!
