1 / 6Clean It Zero Cleansing Balm Original
A sorbet-textured cleansing balm that melts into a silky oil the moment it touches skin, dissolving sunscreen, makeup, and the day's buildup in one gentle massage. It emulsifies into a light milk with water and rinses clean, so skin feels comfortable rather than stripped or filmy. This is the lightly scented original for most skin types; the same line's Purity version exists for fragrance-averse skin.
More detail
The balm is built on light cleansing esters (ethylhexyl palmitate, cetyl ethylhexanoate) rather than mineral oil, with PEG-based emulsifiers that let it rinse off with water alone; hot spring water, bamboo, rooibos, acerola, and vitamin E round out the soothing base. It starts as a firm sherbet in the tub, turns to oil as you massage it over a dry face, then goes milky when you add water. Use it as the first step of an evening double cleanse: scoop with the spatula using dry hands, massage for about a minute, emulsify, rinse, and follow with a water-based cleanser if you wear heavy makeup or long-wear sunscreen. It handles most makeup, though stubborn waterproof mascara may need a dedicated remover. It contains added fragrance, and the ester base can congest very acne-prone skin — if that's you, keep the second cleanse thorough or pick a different balm. Alcohol-free; the standard tub is 100 ml.

Reviewscommunity links
A staple first-step cleanser in the community: users praise how fast the sherbet-textured balm breaks down heavy, waterproof makeup and sunscreen, and that it emulsifies and rinses off without a greasy film or a stripped feeling. The main pushback comes from acne-prone users who blame the mineral-oil-based formula for congestion, with the common advice being to always follow with a thorough second cleanse or to pick a different balm if you clog easily.
