The balm begins as a silk-like solid, transforms into an oil as you massage, and emulsifies with water so it washes clean — leaving skin prepped and comfortable for serums or second-step cleansers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this balm remove long-wear makeup and sunscreen?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe balm relies on oil-based ingredients to break down waterproof formulas and mineral sunscreens without harsh rubbing.
