The Story

Nourishing cleansing balm for all skin types.

This cleansing balm restores skin barrier function with Intercellular Lipids and Ceramides, comforting the complexion while removing all traces of makeup, SPF and impurities.

The Ritual

Warm a pearl-sized amount between fingertips.

Massage gently over dry skin.

Emulsify with tepid water and rinse clean or remove with a warm towel.

The Research

The skin’s outermost layer, the Stratum Corneum, is made up of an intricately balanced composition of lipids, including ceramides, cholesterol and triglycerides. This living barrier exists to protect skin from external hazards, keeping it hydrated and supple while helping to shield against sunlight and other environmental aggressors.

A thorough nightly cleansing regimen can assist in the replenishment of vital Stratum Corneum lipids and proteins, which are otherwise diminished a result of ageing and environmental damage.

Skin lipid esters assist in breaking down surface debris, including sunscreen actives and makeup which are removed with the addition of water, while simultaneously boosting concentrations of native surface lipids to fortify barrier function.

bisma's take

the most beautiful skin cocooning cream ever, especially for sensitive skin, rosacea, or those with damaged skin barriers. also layers beautifully on top of moisturizers as a sleep in "mask"

the skin protocol

Dispense a pearl-sized amount into palm. Smooth gently over face, neck, décolletage and backs of hands. Use in synergy with your RATIONALE Essential Six formulations for remarkable skin luminosity.
