Product Information

While the skincare category has made significant strides to transform how our culture defines what’s beautiful, there remains an opportunity to push for more inclusive and holistic definitions,” says Tyler Smith, marketing lead for Bridges Consumer Healthcare at Albolene. A cleansing balm is an oil based skin care product that comes in a solid state (as opposed to liquid) and is used for cleansing and makeup removal.

Hydrating Cleansing Balm with Jojoba Oil- Albolene

A few of these same ingredients are used in the Albolene Eye Makeup Remover, including mineral oil, petrolatum, and beta carotene. Two additional ingredients in the Eye Makeup Remover include ozokerite and jojoba seed oil. As mentioned above, ozokerite is a naturally occurring fossil wax that functions as an emulsifier.

The dermatologist-created products are touted as beneficial for skin nourishment and hydration.The Hydrating Micellar Milk Cleanser has a moisture-rich solution with calming aloe and high levels of vitamin C found in coconut milk, which helps preserve skin elasticity and flexibility and protects against wrinkles, sagging skin and age spots. According to the company, a clinical study that compared the Hydrating Micellar Milk Cleanser to competitors in the makeup removal market, Albolene’s new formula ranked first overall for makeup removal, was up to three times as effective at removing waterproof makeup and provided more than four times the amount of moisture.

Chemically speaking, cosmetic grade mineral oil is a complex mixture ofhighly refined saturated hydrocarbons with C15-50 chain length.It is not merely a "by-product" but rather a specifically isolated part of petroleum that is very pure and inert. While I wasn’t expecting to copy it completely (I don’t have access to all the ingredients that a company like Beautycounter does!), I did want my cleansing balm to have a similar consistency. I wanted it to be solid to the touch, yet melt in my hands. And obviously I wanted to use all natural, non-toxic and preferably organic ingredients.

While it is true that industrial grade mineral oil contains carcinogenic components (so-calledpolycyclic compounds), these are completely removed from cosmetic and food grade mineral oil and there is no scientific data showing that the pure, cosmetic grade version is carcinogenic. A UV makeup and advanced facial imaging technology evaluation also revealed that Albolene’s Hydrating Micellar Milk Cleanser outperformed the top-selling micellar makeup remover brand in terms of effectively removing makeup. Frankincense essential oil– A popular oil for skin care due to its ability torejuvenate dry or mature skin. (Find certified organic frankincense oil online.)Meanwhile, the Hydrating Daily Cleanser is a moisturizing product that provides cleansing and optimum hydration even for sensitive skin. Hyaluronic acid is one of five combined moisturizers in this product to increase hydration and smoothness while retaining moisture long after removing makeup.

The final ingredient in the Albolene Moisturizing Cleanser formula is beta carotene, a red-orange pigment abundant in plants and fruits. Beta carotene has the ability to increase cell turnover and regeneration in the outer layers of the skin, giving the complexion a healthy glow. It is also a potent antioxidant. Antioxidants limit oxidative damage caused by free radicals, the unstable molecules that contribute to the formation of premature wrinkles and fine lines on the skin. The oil in a cleansing balm works to remove dirty oil from your skin and replace it with fresh, nourishing oils. The Hydrating Cleansing Balm’s formula is improved with shea butter and jojoba oil to boost softness and radiance and it melts away makeup without the need for abrasive rubbing. Shea butter– An excellent moisturizer that comes from the nut of the shea tree in Africa. (I buy unrefined shea butter in bulk from my local co-op but you can buy shea butter online.) Micelle technology collects and removes away dirt, oil and makeup without removing the skin’s natural oils.The brand is currently building on its previous innovations with a range of cleansers made with simple, clear formulas that give new generations of skincare consumers a suitable base for “ self-expression.”It is a great emollient and moisturizer working mainly by occlusivity.Occlusivity is one of the basic mechanisms of how moisturizers work and it means that mineral oilsits on top of the skin and hinders so-called trans-epidermal water loss, i.e water evaporating out of your skin. When compared to heavy-duty plant oil, extra virgin coconut oil, the two of them were equally efficient and safe as moisturizers in treating xerosis, a skin condition connected to very dry skin. Believe it or not, cleansing balm is actually beneficial for people with an oily complexion because it keeps skin from over-producing oil. Traditional foaming cleansers can strip skin of oil, causing your skin to react by producing too much oil. A makeup remover with the same effectiveness as Albolene’s original Moisturizing Cleanser but in a solid balm form that dissolves traces of makeup is called Hydrating Cleansing Balm.
