Augustinus Bader The Cleansing Balm – nourishing balm-to-oil makeup remover, 90 g, hydrating & fragrance-free

Augustinus Bader The Cleansing Balm is a nourishing balm-to-oil cleanser that melts away makeup, sunscreen, and impurities while supporting skin hydration and comfort.

Designed from three decades of research and powered by Augustinus Bader’s proprietary TFC8 complex, this 90 g cleansing balm transforms from a solid balm into a gentle oil for a thorough yet non-stripping cleanse. It removes waterproof makeup and daily buildup without leaving a greasy residue or compromising the skin barrier. The formula is fragrance-free, vegan, and cruelty-free, packaged in a recyclable glass jar with an FSC-certified carton.

How does this balm remove tough makeup without drying my skin?

The balm converts into an oil on contact with the skin, dissolving oils, sunscreen, and long-wear makeup while preserving moisture. TFC8 helps support the skin’s natural condition so the cleansing step feels conditioning rather than stripping.

• Balm-to-oil texture melts on contact for effortless removal.
• Dissolves waterproof mascara and long-wear lipstick without heavy rubbing.
• Leaves skin hydrated rather than tight or flaky.

Will this work for sensitive or acne-prone skin?

The formula is formulated without fragrance and is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. Its gentle, conditioning action removes impurities while minimizing irritation that can be caused by harsher surfactants or over-cleansing.

• Fragrance-free and gentle on reactive skin.
• Non-comedogenic texture that rinses clean.
• Helps maintain the skin barrier after cleansing.

How do I use the cleansing balm for best results?

Scoop a small amount and warm it between dry palms, then massage onto dry skin to dissolve makeup and impurities. Emulsify with a little water to turn the oil milky, then rinse or remove with a soft cloth to reveal clean, conditioned skin.

• Use on dry skin first for maximum makeup dissolution.
• Add warm water to emulsify and rinse fully.
• Follow with your usual toner or serum, or use as the first step in a double-cleanse routine.

What makes this product more than just a makeup remover?

Beyond removing cosmetics, the balm delivers a conditioning cleanse that preps skin for subsequent skincare steps. TFC8—Augustinus Bader’s cell-communicating complex—supports a healthier-feeling surface so skin looks and feels plumper and soothed after cleansing.

• Conditions skin while cleansing to preserve softness.
• Preps skin to absorb serums and moisturizers more effectively.
• Clean formula suitable for sustainable packaging disposal.

Who is this for: The Cleansing Balm is ideal for anyone who wants a luxurious, effective way to remove makeup and sunscreen without overdrying—suitable for all skin types, especially those seeking a gentle, science-backed cleanser that leaves skin nourished and ready for treatment products.
