Gentle yet effective make-up removal for even ultra-sensitive skin!
BasicLab Hydrophilic Cleansing Balm for Ultra-Sensitive Skin is a gentle facial cleanser that effectively dissolves make-up, including waterproof formulas, SPF products and everyday impurities. It supports the skin's moisture barrier, helps soothe irritation and protects against dryness during cleansing.
Its transforming texture melts into a silky oil as it warms on the skin, then turns into a lightweight milky emulsion when mixed with water. Easy to rinse away, the balm leaves skin feeling soft, smooth and comfortable without tightness. It can be used as the first step of a double-cleansing routine or as a standalone facial cleanser.
Who is this product for?
- Ultra-sensitive, sensitive and reactive skin requiring particularly gentle make-up removal.
- Dry, dehydrated skin prone to feeling tight after cleansing.
- Skin with a weakened moisture barrier in need of soothing and replenishing care.
- Normal, oily and acne-prone skin looking for a non-comedogenic cleansing balm.
- Anyone who regularly wears waterproof make-up or sunscreen.
Active ingredients:
- Vitamin F 0.5% – supports epidermal regeneration and helps replenish the skin's moisture barrier. Its soothing properties help maintain hydration and reduce discomfort associated with dryness and irritation.
- Abyssinian oil 15% – nourishes, moisturises and smooths the skin while supporting its lipid barrier. Helps restore softness and elasticity without leaving the skin feeling excessively weighed down.
- Ceramide analogue 2% – mimics the function of naturally occurring skin ceramides. Supports the protective skin barrier, helps retain moisture and reduces transepidermal water loss (TEWL), improving skin smoothness and overall condition.

- Reduces feelings of dryness, roughness and tightness after cleansing.
