FAQs

CAN I USE THIS IN A DOUBLE CLEANSE? Yes. Oat Cleansing Balm goes first—it's oil-based and melts away SPF and makeup. Follow with a gel or water-based such as Fulvic Acid Cleanser or Salicylic Acid Cleanser to remove any leftover residue.

DO I NEED A SECOND CLEANSER AFTER THIS? Nope. You can use it solo or follow with another cleanser if you like. Works for both AM and PM.

IS THIS SUITABLE FOR SENSITIVE SKIN? Yes. Colloidal Oatmeal helps calm irritation and reduce redness—ideal for sensitive skin types. Read more about sensitive skin >

IS IT GOOD FOR DRY SKIN? Definitely. This formula is made with dry, delicate skin in mind.

CAN I USE THIS IF I HAVE OILY SKIN? Yes, but it’s designed for dry/sensitive skin. If your skin’s oily and sensitive, you can rotate it with something like our Salicylic Acid Cleanser.

CAN THIS BE USED IF I HAVE ROSACEA OR ECZEMA? It can help, but always patch test first. Apply to your inner arm and wait 24–48 hours to check for a reaction.

CAN I USE IT AS A MASK? Yes. Apply during your second cleanse and leave on for 10 minutes before rinsing. Use 1–2 times a week for an extra hydration boost.

MY BALM IS TOO HARD TO SQUEEZE – WHAT DO I DO? It’s normal. This formula reacts to temperature. If it’s too solid, run the tube under warm water for 30–60 seconds to soften it.

MY BALM IS TOO RUNNY – IS THAT OKAY? Yes. Balms can soften in warmer temps. Shake it well before use. If it’s still too liquid, pop it in the fridge for 15–30 minutes and store it in a cool place.

WHAT'S THE % OF OAT KERNEL OIL? 3%

WHAT'S THE % OF COLLOIDAL OATMEAL? 1%

HOW LONG TO SEE RESULTS? Give it up to six weeks. Skin takes time to renew. Stay consistent, but don’t overdo it—more isn’t better and can lead to sensitivity.

IS THIS PRODUCT VEGAN? Yes! This product contains no animal derivatives and is now certified by The Vegan Society.

WHAT IS THE PH LEVEL? This product does not have a PH level as it is waterless

IS THIS SAFE FOR THOSE WHO ARE PREGNANT OR BREASTFEEDING? Yes! You can safely use it when pregnant or breastfeeding. Your guide to pregnancy safe skincare >

CAN I USE WITH MEDICATION? Consult your doctor to be sure.

"The products helped me sooooo much! I am so happy I found something that’s very light and doesn’t break my face out more."

"My combination, easily irritated (reactive) and sensitive skin adores this product. It is so soothing and relieves a lot of the redness, itching, and dry/ flakiness. I genuinely look forward to coming home to use this product."

Alessandra
"The Oat Cleansing Balm has been my saviour! Any other makeup removers strip my skin making my eczema flare. When my eczema is more calm I use the PHA toner too which is great."

Customers say this cleansing balm effectively removes makeup and leaves skin feeling smooth and moisturized. Many reviews mention its gentle cleansing action and ability to remove waterproof makeup. The balm's texture receives frequent praise for being rich and luxurious. While most users appreciate its moisturizing properties, some note packaging challenges with the tube design.
