Skincare is more than routine. It is a ritual, a way of caring for yourself with intention and reconnecting to the present moment. Our Alpha Glow Botanical Cleansing Balm is at the heart of this philosophy. It melts away impurities, nourishes your skin with powerful natural ingredients, and invites you to turn cleansing into a mindful act of self-love.
Let us take you inside the ingredients that make this balm so special.
Shea Butter (Rospermum Parkii)
Rich in vitamins A and E, shea butter deeply nourishes and softens the skin. Its creamy texture helps to protect the skin barrier, leaving it supple and hydrated after cleansing.
Grape Seed Oil (Vitis Vinifera)
Lightweight yet deeply restorative, grape seed oil is packed with antioxidants that help protect against environmental stressors. It balances the skin and supports a radiant, even complexion.
Sweet Almond Oil (Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis)
Gentle and soothing, sweet almond oil helps to calm irritation while providing lasting hydration. It is especially beneficial for dry or sensitive skin, making it a comforting addition to daily cleansing.
Hemp Seed Oil (Cannabis Sativa)
Hemp seed oil is a powerhouse of essential fatty acids that help to strengthen the skin barrier and restore balance. It is naturally calming, helping to reduce redness and encourage a smooth texture.
Coconut Derived Triglycerides (Caprylic Capric Triglyceride)
Derived from coconut oil, this silky emollient softens the skin and helps the balm glide effortlessly across the face. It leaves the skin feeling smooth, never greasy.
Candelilla Wax (Euphorbia Cerifera)
This plant-based wax gives the balm its rich consistency while helping to lock in moisture. It is a sustainable alternative to beeswax, keeping our formula kind to the planet as well as your skin.
Wheat Germ Oil (Triticum Vulgare)
Wheat germ oil is rich in vitamin E and antioxidants, supporting skin repair and helping to maintain elasticity. It works in harmony with other oils to nourish and protect.
Natural Vitamin E (Tocopherols)
Vitamin E is a skin-loving nutrient that shields against free radicals and environmental damage. It enhances the effectiveness of other ingredients while promoting a youthful glow.
Essential Oils for Balance and Beauty
- Lemon Peel Oil (Citrus Limon) brings a fresh, uplifting scent while gently brightening the skin.
- Rose Geranium Oil (Pelargonium Graveolens) balances the skin and soothes the senses.
- Rose Flower Extract (Rosa Damascena) is the queen of botanicals, bringing a delicate floral note and calming properties that uplift both skin and spirit.
Allergens
Our cleansing balm contains naturally occurring allergens from essential oils, including citral, linalol, limonene, citronellol and geraniol.
Why It Is Perfect for a Double Cleanse
Our Alpha Glow Botanical Cleansing Balm is designed to melt away makeup, sunscreen, and impurities as the first step in a double cleanse. It dissolves the day with ease, leaving the skin soft and prepped for your second cleanse or toner. The texture transforms into a silky oil as you massage it in, making cleansing a luxurious ritual rather than a chore.
How to Use It in Your Routine
- Warm a small amount of balm between your fingertips.
- Gently massage into dry skin using slow circular movements. Take a few mindful breaths as you inhale the gorgeous natural fragrance.
- Add a little warm water to emulsify, then remove with a damp cloth.
- Follow with your favourite Lunar Radiance Citrus Toning Elixir, Lacus Temporis Pro-collagen serum to complete your ritual.
Creating a Ritual with Your Balm
Cleansing is often seen as a functional step, but it can be so much more. By slowing down and treating it as a ritual, you give yourself permission to release the day. Light a candle, put on calming music, and allow the fragrance of rose and citrus to ground you in the present moment. As you massage the balm into your skin, think of it as not only removing impurities but also letting go of stress and negative energy.
The Alpha Glow Botanical Cleansing Balm is more than skincare. It is a sensory experience, a daily moment of calm, and a way to glow from within. With each use you nurture your skin while also tending to your inner self, creating balance that radiates both inside and out.
