Melts away makeup, not moisture
Leaves skin soft, never tight
Doesn't sting sensitive eyes
Fragrance-free, gentle by design
A concentrated, waterless blend of nourishing plant oils and butters designed to dissolve makeup and impurities while replenishing the skin barrier.
Unlike many cleansing balms that rely on mineral oil or synthetic emulsifiers to shift makeup, this balm works with plant-derived oils and butters to melt away even stubborn makeup and SPF, without stripping the skin's natural moisture.
Rich in antioxidant botanicals from cranberry and elderberry, alongside vitamin E, it helps defend against environmental stress while shea butter, mango seed butter and jojoba leave skin feeling soft, calm and never tight.
Formulated without fragrance, sulphates or silicones. Just potent, plant-powered cleansing, gentle enough for sensitive skin and eyes.
Included: 1 x 90g jar, thoughtfully presented in a premium retail box.

Using a clean spatula, scoop a small amount and warm between dry hands, then massage into dry skin using slow, circular motions; let it melt into makeup, SPF and the day's impurities.
Remove with a warm, damp cloth. Use as the first step of your evening double cleanse, or alone for a lighter refresh.
For an extra moment of care, leave on for a few minutes before removing.

I’ve only recently switched to cleansing balms, and this is the third one I’ve tried, but it’s definitely my favourite so far👀 As someone who wears makeup 5–6 days a week for university, I need something that removes everything quickly without drying out my skin, and this does exactly that. It melts my makeup off so easily and leaves my skin feeling really clean, soft, and fresh afterwards✨
The best cleansing balm I've ever tried! It leaves my skin feeling so soft, nourished and moisturised without any oily residue or that heavy, leftover product feeling. It's also the only cleansing balm I've used that doesn't sting my eyes, which is such a huge plus! It melts away makeup effortlessly, even stubborn products, and leaves my skin feeling clean, fresh and comfortable every time. I genuinely can't recommend it enough! ✨
I’ve tried many cleansing balms over the years, and this is definitely one of my favourites. It melts down and removes makeup and SPF without needing loads of product. It emulsifies nicely with water, so it rinses away easily and doesn’t leave that heavy, greasy film some balms do.
It leaves my skin soft, nourished and clean without that tight, stripped feeling. It’s become one of those products I actually look forward to using at the end of the day.
If you’re after a cleansing balm that feels luxurious while still being gentle on the skin, I’d definitely recommend giving this one a try.
Absolutely love this cleanser. It's my second jar and my husband has been so impressed with how glowing my skin is he now steals it too.
I attended the launch event in February and tried the balm as soon as I got home! The cleansing balm melted off every single bit of make up I had on. My eyes had no funny film over them and no stinging. Even down to the consistency, it’s so different to anything I’ve tried before, I really like it!
When I say it’s so nice to see an all natural cleansing balm on the market I really do mean it! As someone with sensitive skin my preference is skincare without fragrance as it can cause my skin to flare up. This cleansing balm is honestly magic in a bottle, not only is the consistency unlike any other cleansing balm I’ve used but it melts beautifully and leaves the skin feeling so hydrated with NO RESIDUE! Also it melts of makeup so easily and guess what no stingy eyes 👀
This is my first time using oil based cleanser and this one is an absolute game changer. My skin is sensitive and usually most of the cleansers also sting my eyes when I try to remove my make up, but no issue with this one. It leaves my skin feeling so smooth , soft and hydrated. I am obsessed with the formula and how nice it feels on my face, it's like a little spa/ massage moment each time I am using it. The scent is very subtle which is perfect. I'm absolutely obsessed, this products changed my skincare routine for better. I will buy a another once once I will finish this tub (which i think will last for a long time as you don't need that much product). 10/10 !
By far the best cleansing balm i’ve tried, does not sting my eyes or leave a film over them!! Also washes off super super easily, doesn’t leave your skin feeling oily, but instead clean and fresh! Would recommend anyone to give this product a go if they’re looking for more sustainable skincare options!
This cleansing balm has been such a game changer for my acne-prone skin! I’m a daily makeup wearer and getting a proper deep cleanse in at the end of the day is so important for me. I love that this doesn’t cloud or sting my eyes and leaves my skin soft and moisturised. Well done to the PERL team! Will definitely keep coming back to this product 💕
I did a testing pot of the cleansing balm and it’s wonderful! I am 67 years old and find my usual cleansers leave my skin feeling dry-not this one! Skin left feel plump and moisturised after use. Will continue to use this cleansing bakm
I've used this balm as part of my double cleanse every night for a week, and my skin hasn't once felt tight or unhappy. I've got combination skin (30 y/o) and wear make-up daily. Prone to hormonal acne but I've pretty much got my skincare routine down. The addition of this product hasn't caused my skin to freak out, whereas normally it would. The texture of the balm is buttery soft, it leaves your skin feeling silky smooth and looking hydrated. As it's a 100% natural skincare product, the smell isn't the best but honestly, for the nourishment it provides, it's easy to overlook the smell. It's taken my make-up straight off without any issues, including Estdee Lauder Double Wear and eyelash glue, even though it doesn't lather as much as other cleansing balms/oils I've used. However, unlike others I've used, for my skin, this balm didn't minimise my pores but it also didn't aggrevate them. I've only given 4 stars because I personally like my cleansing balms/oils to lather a little more and provide more pore minimising power. I can't get over how happy my skin looks after using though. Other than that, I really like it - another great natural skincare product by Perl. 👏

A MUST HAVE WHEN IT LAUNCHES! 🚀 I’ve been using this cleansing balm for around 2 weeks now and I am honestly so impressed! I love this cleaning balm because it’s like any other which I have tried before down to the consistency and how it feels on my face! It left my skin feeling so hydrated and not greasy at all! As someone who has sensitive skin trying new products can be scary sometimes but I never feel like that with perl cosmetics. All of the products are made with such high quality and I can’t recommend it enough! As someone who uses cleansing balm everyday this is one of the best I’ve ever used!
Iv never used a cleaning balm before and this is amazing. After using with my make up on and washing it off my skin feels so nourished and silky after use. I definitely recommend if you have oily skin
I've used this for about 2 weeks and I think it's a fantastic cleanser. Feels lovely to use, removes make-up and doesn't cause any irritation. No eye stinging either!
Absolutely love this balm. It’s so good at removing my make up. Leaves my skin so soft and nourished and my skin looks so healthy and plump.
I put off ordering the cleansing balm, as we often do with any product we find is truly worth its salt! I can’t believe I waited as long as I did. This is the first cleansing balm of many I have tried that’s truly wiped away my makeup and in particular my waterproof mascara without leaving my skin feeling heavy or still full of makeup after using a white towel to dry. My eyes are incredibly sensitive and I was pleasantly surprised to find they aren’t sore after using this product (I wear contact lenses pretty much all the time which dries my eyes out too). I honestly want to shout from the rooftops how good this is!
The best for acne skin!
My skin is super sensitive to harsh cleansing products and it’s really important to me that what I use doesn’t strip my skin or break me out. I’m so happy to have found this in this cleansing balm + I’ll never turn back!!
Eagerly awaiting a restock! It’s the best cleanser I’ve used, I have rosacea & sensitive skin & eyes but this seems to do nothing but heal & nourish. No irritations whatsoever, it melts away mascara like it’s nothing. It’s so gentle I use it on my young daughters skin as it cuts through the suncream beautifully leaving a beautiful glow & hydration behind
This cleansing balm has a great soft texture and leaves my skin feeling nice and clean, though I love it most for the smell - a soft green tea which is so calming and lovely!
I don’t normally go in for a double cleanse. But I love the brand, and why not try? It feels so lovely on my sensitive skin, honestly, you have to try it!
Absolutely love this balm… it’s the only one that doesn’t sting my eyes and my skin feels sooo good afterwards
The only remover balm with such a great consistency and doesnt sting your eyes! I really hope it restocks when brand changes
