Isntree - Mugwort Calming Deep Cleansing Balm 100ml

Sherbet in the jar, milk on the skin. Isntree's Mugwort Calming Deep Cleansing Balm melts on contact and emulsifies into a light milk-oil with water, taking makeup, sunscreen and the day's buildup with it — without leaving the greasy film that congests skin overnight.

Eight plant oils, no clogged pores

The formula uses eight plant-derived oils to dissolve everything from base makeup to colour products in a single pass, while staying non-comedogenic. That combination is why it suits troubled skin that usually avoids balms.

The sherbet texture

Solid in the jar, it softens on contact with skin warmth and turns to oil as you massage. Add water and it emulsifies into a milk that rinses completely. That transition matters: balms that do not emulsify properly leave a residue, and residue on breakout-prone skin is exactly what causes the congestion people blame on the oil itself.

Who it's for

Anyone who wears sunscreen daily — which should be everyone — and breakout-prone skin that reacts to heavier cleansing balms.

How to use

Scoop with dry hands onto dry skin and massage for thirty to sixty seconds, working over areas with makeup or sunscreen. Add lukewarm water to emulsify into a milk, massage again, then rinse. Always follow with a water-based second cleanse.

Hygiene and storage

Use the spatula rather than your fingers — wet fingers introduce water and bacteria into the jar and shorten its life. Keep the lid closed and store somewhere cool; a hot bathroom shelf will soften the sherbet texture into something closer to an oil. If that happens, a short spell in the fridge restores it.

FAQ

Do I need a second cleanse?
Yes. An oil or balm removes oil-based products; a water-based cleanser removes sweat and residue. Skipping the second step leaves a film.

Dry hands or wet?
Dry, on dry skin. Water at the start stops the balm from breaking down makeup properly.

Will it clog my pores?
Not if you emulsify and rinse thoroughly. The formula is designed not to clog, but a proper rinse matters.

Balm or oil?
Balms are tidier and better for travel; oils spread faster over a full face of makeup. Both work.
