BANILA CO Clean It Zero Brightening Cleansing Balm — Mandarin-C 100ml, vegan sherbet-to-oil makeup remover with vitamin C

BANILA CO Clean it Zero Brightening Cleansing Balm is a vegan sherbet-to-oil makeup remover that dissolves waterproof makeup and surface impurities while delivering vitamin C and citrus extracts for a brighter-looking complexion.

This 100ml cleansing balm uses a balm-to-oil texture that melts on contact to lift away foundation, stubborn mascara, sunscreen and daily grime in one step. Formulated to be hypoallergenic and dermatologist tested, the Mandarin-C version adds vitamin C and citrus-derived brightening extracts to support a more even-looking skin tone without harsh rubbing. The product is designed for home cleansing routines and pairs well with a gentle second cleanse if you prefer double-cleansing.

How does this balm remove waterproof makeup effectively?

The balm contains a magnet-like oil system that transforms from a soft sherbet into a lightweight oil, breaking down long-wear and waterproof formulas without excessive friction. You apply it to dry skin, massage to dissolve pigments and residues, then emulsify with water to rinse clean.

• Sherbet-to-oil texture melts makeup and sunscreens on contact.
• Massaging motion lifts product from pores and lashes rather than rubbing abrasively.
• Emulsifies with water for an easy rinse with no greasy residue.
• Includes a spatula for hygienic scooping and controlled product use.

Will it help brighten my skin or even out tone?

This formula combines stabilized vitamin C with citrus extracts to target surface dullness and enhance overall radiance. While not a replacement for clinical brightening treatments, it supports a brighter-looking complexion by removing dulling impurities and depositing antioxidant-rich extracts during cleansing.

• Contains vitamin C to help reduce appearance of surface discoloration over time.
• Citrus extract provides natural brightening support and a fresh scent.
• Regular use helps skin reflect light better by removing buildup and dead surface cells.

Is the Mandarin-C cleansing balm suitable for sensitive or reactive skin?

The product is labeled hypoallergenic and dermatologist tested, formulated without animal-derived ingredients to be vegan-friendly. As with any active ingredient such as vitamin C or botanical extracts, patch testing is recommended for those with very reactive skin.

• Dermatologist-tested and hypoallergenic formulation.
• Vegan-certified ingredients—no animal-derived components.
• Gentle balm texture minimizes mechanical irritation compared with rough cloth scrubbing.

How do I use the cleansing balm for best results?

Scoop a small amount with the included spatula, massage onto dry skin until makeup dissolves, add water to emulsify, then rinse thoroughly. Follow with your preferred water-based cleanser if you follow a double-cleanse routine.

• Use spatula to take a pea-to-palm sized amount onto dry face.
• Massage in circular motions to dissolve heavy makeup and SPF.
• Add warm water to turn balm into a milky emulsified oil, then rinse completely.
• Optional: follow with a gentle foaming or gel cleanser for double-cleansing.

Who is this for: BANILA CO Clean it Zero Mandarin-C Cleansing Balm suits anyone who wears long-wear or waterproof makeup and wants an efficient first-step cleanser that also supports a brighter-looking complexion. It is a practical choice for vegans and those seeking a gentle, low-friction removal method—ideal for evening skincare routines, travel kits, and anyone who prefers a concentrated, leave-on-to-emulsify cleansing step before their treatment products.
