This cleansing balm does more than just clean your face. The balm-to-milk formula melts into skin on contact, breaking down makeup, dirt, and impurities without stripping. When you add warm water, it emulsifies into a gentle milk that rinses away cleanly, leaving skin nourished rather than tight or dry.
The formula is built around sacha inchi and maracuja, two sustainably sourced rainforest botanicals from the Peruvian Amazon. Sacha inchi supports natural cell regeneration while maracuja brightens and helps restore skin's natural radiance. Calendula calms redness and inflammation. Sweet almond acts as a natural surfactant, doing the heavy lifting on makeup removal without any harsh synthetic ingredients.
It works well as a first cleanse in a double-cleansing routine, or on its own for a thorough single cleanse. A pea-sized amount is enough for your whole face, neck, and chest.
About the Maker
Nunaia is an Irish organic skincare brand founded by Nicola Connolly, who spent over a decade living and working with indigenous communities in the Amazon Rainforest, Galapagos Islands, and Andes Mountains of Peru and Ecuador. While living in the Andes, she noticed how local people used incredible plants to stay healthy and look after their skin despite harsh conditions, and she began adopting their practices. Nunaia works directly with small farmer growers in Peru who use sustainable, certified organic farming practices. Every product is made in Ireland, in North Tipperary.
How to Use
Apply a pea-sized amount of balm to dry skin on your face, neck, and chest. Massage gently. Add warm water and the balm will emulsify into a soothing milk, breaking down oils, makeup, and dirt. Gently remove residue with a wet facial cleansing cloth or oval. Can be used morning and evening.
