Dr. Althea Pure Grinding Cleansing Balm 50ml

Ingredients and their roles

• Centella asiatica extract: A botanical skin-conditioning ingredient that gives cica-focused products part of their characteristic formula profile.
• Madecassoside: A centella-associated conditioning ingredient, included alongside the rest of the formula rather than as a separate treatment.
• Grape seed oil: An emollient oil included in the product's oil phase, contributing slip and a softer skin feel.
• Green tea seed oil: A botanical oil that contributes emollience and spreadability to the formula's oil phase.
• Caprylic/capric triglyceride: An emollient that contributes softness and helps carry the formula's oil-soluble components.
• Synthetic wax: A structuring ingredient that helps a solid or balm texture hold its shape during storage and application.

Portioning with the grinding dispenser

The dispenser portions the balm without scooping into an open jar. Turn it to release a small amount, massage over dry skin and introduce water gradually for rinsing. Keeping the opening clean preserves the convenience of the format and helps avoid mixing water into unused balm.

From first cleanse to rinse

This Dr. Althea cleansing balm belongs at the makeup-removal stage. Begin with the application method on the pack, then introduce water as directed so the cleanser can rinse away. Pay attention to sunscreen around the hairline and jaw without pulling at delicate skin.

How to use

Turn the grinding dispenser to release a small amount. Massage gently over dry skin to loosen makeup and sunscreen, add a little water to emulsify, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.

Keep water out of the container and use clean hands or the intended dispenser. Massage with light pressure, then rinse thoroughly. A water-based cleanser can follow if your routine needs a second cleanse, especially after a full day of makeup.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to dig into the container with a spatula?

Use the grinding mechanism to dispense the balm. It is designed for portioning from the top, so follow the twist-and-dispense method instead of treating it like a conventional open balm jar.

What does emulsifying mean?

When the directions call for water, add it gradually and massage gently so this cleansing balm mixes with the water and becomes easier to rinse away. Finish with a thorough rinse.

Do I always need a second cleanser?

Follow the directions for this cleansing balm and judge the residue left after rinsing. A separate water-based wash is an option when your makeup-removal routine calls for it.
