IMAGE Skincare BIOME+ Cleansing Comfort Balm — 4 fl oz microbiome-friendly oil-to-milk cleanser, hydrates & removes makeup

IMAGE Skincare BIOME+ Cleansing Comfort Balm is a creamy oil–to–milk cleansing balm that dissolves makeup and sunscreen while supporting the skin’s microbiome and moisture barrier.

This cleansing balm blends a soft cream feel with the glide of an oil to remove surface impurities without stripping skin. Formulated with fermented squalane from sugarcane and a mix of plant oils, it gently lifts away makeup, sunscreen and environmental grime while restoring softness and hydration. The texture leaves skin feeling plush and prepped for serums and treatments, and a light grapefruit note adds a fresh sensory lift.

How does this balm remove makeup while keeping skin hydrated?

The balm’s hybrid oil‑crème texture melts solid and liquid makeup without harsh rubbing, then emulsifies with water for a clean rinse. Moisture-retaining ingredients replace oils lost during cleansing so skin doesn’t feel tight afterward.

• Fermented squalane from 100% sugarcane helps maintain skin lipids.
• Plant oils dissolve waterproof cosmetics and sunscreen gently.
• Emulsifying formula rinses clean, leaving a soft, hydrated surface.

Will this support my skin’s microbiome and barrier function?

The formula includes certified microbiome-friendly squalane and barrier-supporting botanicals designed to replenish essential lipids. Rather than stripping natural oils, it helps preserve the protective surface layer so skin stays resilient and comfortable after cleansing.

• Microbiome-friendly fermented squalane to support beneficial skin flora.
• Adaptogenic ashwagandha to help reduce moisture loss and promote a healthy glow.
• Nourishing plant oils that reinforce the skin’s protective film.

How should I use the BIOME+ Cleansing Comfort Balm in my routine?

Use it as a first-step cleanser evening or whenever you need to remove heavy makeup or sunscreen. Warm a small amount between dry palms, massage onto dry skin to dissolve impurities, then emulsify with water and rinse or remove with a soft cloth.

• Apply to dry face to break down makeup and SPF.
• Add a little water to emulsify and rinse thoroughly.
• Follow with targeted serums and a moisturizer for best results.

What sensory and sustainability features should I expect?

The balm offers a smooth, cream-to-oil glide with a subtle grapefruit lift that brightens the cleansing step. Production and packaging emphasize reduced environmental impact to match mindful beauty routines.

• Light grapefruit extract for a fresh, natural scent.
• Made in a LEED-certified, carbon-neutral facility using solar-filtered water.
• Tube made of 85% sugarcane bio-resin and FSC recycled-paper box.

Who is this for: This cleansing balm is suited to anyone wanting a non‑stripping, deep cleanse—especially those with dry, dehydrated, or barrier‑sensitive skin, makeup wearers, and people who prefer formulas that support the skin microbiome. It’s a good first-step product for layered skincare routines and for users seeking cleaner production and sustainable packaging choices.
