SAMPLE - 'Cloud 9' Deep Cleansing Balm

"Decadent & creamy, I love that this balm is rich, hydrating & zero-waste. It smells beautiful & always leaves the skin well balanced." - Amina Kitching, Judge, Organic Beauty Awards 2022

The ‘Cloud 9’ Deep Cleansing Balm cleanses and moisturises at the same time (unlike common foaming cleansers). By using organic plant oils to dissolve the oily impurities in your skin, it gently melts away daily grime, oxidised sebum (black heads), makeup and sunscreen without leaving your skin drier than an Australian desert.

Good cleansing is the cornerstone of healthy skin. But we often fall into the trap of rushing the cleansing step in our routine, and reaching for a cleanser that bubbles up and strips our skin of its natural oils. 

You may not realise, but over-washing (and the subsequent drying) of your skin can trigger big problems. Oily skin becomes oiler, increasing breakouts, and dry skin becomes drier, making it look older and more susceptible to other issues.

On the flip side, cleansing with a product that respects your skin's balance (acid mantle) stops that post-cleansing dryness and makes sure you get more benefit out of the headline acts in your skin routine – your serums and creams.

You should also find that you need less of the expensive serums and creams when a quality, acid-mantle-loving cleanser is used.

A better way to cleanse: Oils dissolve oils

The Cloud 9 Deep Cleansing balm uses the principles of the Oil Cleansing Method with a few tweaks. Instead of being straight oil we have added Shea butter and Aloe Vera juice for a nourishing, luxurious and meditative experience.

The Cloud 9 Deep Cleansing Balm will help balance and restore your skin during cleansing, reducing breakouts and preventing dehydrated skin. You’ll also see your skin’s recovery time improve dramatically because of all the Omega 3, 6, 7, and 9s that your skin is drinking up.

You may have picked up that we have not promised clear blemish-prone skin overnight. That would be irresponsible of us. But we do promise that your skin will improve so much after a month that you won’t look back.

Meet the Cloud 9 Deep Cleansing Balm's best friend

We love Konjac Sponges. They work beautifully with the Cloud 9 Deep Cleansing Balm to remove the cleanser once you've massaged it into your skin. The Cleansing Balm and sponge are like peas and carrots. Or technically peas and potato because the sponges are made from potato.

They're also incredibly gentle, and 100% biodegradable - just chuck them in the garden once you have used them for a couple of months. There are a couple of different "flavours" to choose from, including Bamboo Charcoal for problematic skin, and French Red Clay for mature and sensitive skin.
