Metamorph Cleansing Balm

CLEANSE / HYDRATE

(4.8)

A soothing, lush balm-to-milk cleanser that melts away makeup, SPF and impurities while hydrating skin and calming visible redness. Infused with Wild Desert Sage, Babassu Oil, β-caryophyllene and cold-pressed botanical oils, each cleanse becomes a transformative clarifying ritual of reset, clearing space for your personal oasis within. This multi-functional cleanser can be used as a mask and gua sha slip before rinsing off.

Removes makeup & impurities
Preserves moisture & barrier integrity
Smooths texture & refines tone
Clears emotional tension through scent + touch

This luxurious balm is crafted with:

Babassu Oil

Boswelic Acid

Calming terpene β-caryophyllene

Frankincense

Wild Desert Sage

How To Use

Apply a quarter-sized amount of balm to clean, dry hands. Gently massage onto skin, allowing the balm to dissolve makeup and sunscreen. Add warm water to emulsify the balm into a milky texture, then remove with a warm, damp washcloth.

Founder's Note

Cleansing is the most critical step in skincare. This balm is waterless and we formulated it to work with your skin and preserve the acid mantle. This helps avoid overproduction of oil due to "squeaky clean" stripping cleanser, which leads to breakouts. The milky texture cleanses and hydrates at the same time, no need to double cleanse.

For overactive or hormonal acneic skin: Let the balm rest on your skin for 5-10 minutes before rinsing off, this helps the anti-inflammation actives work their magic and calm. This balm has been used by desert dwellers as an overnight mask. However, it may transfer to your pillow, so apply a small amount and let it absorb fully.

To cultivate your inner oasis, this balm is the perfect gua sha slip. I use this instead of a face oil. Once the balm is applied, use your hands or a gua sha tool and follow the natural contours of your face, gently massage in upwards motion or towards your lymph nodes to promote lymphatic drainage. Gently remove with a damp and warm washcloth.

THE DESERT DIFFERENCE

Our wild ingredients are complimented with nootropics to balance, calm, and center the mind—creating a more holistic, rejuvenating experience.

Babassu Oil

Our organic babassu oil effectively draws out impurities, calms irritation while hydrating and rebalancing the skin. Low on the comedogenic scale it won't clog pores the way coconut oil can. Melting on contact with skin, babassu oil will penetrate deeply and absorb quickly for long lasting hydration.

Frankincense

Used for centuries to combat inflammation and purify. Frankincense has potent levels of skin soothing Boswellic Acid - a compound found to possess strong anti-inflammatory properties that can help restore elasticity, soothe redness, irritation, and significantly calm reactive skin.

Chaparral

Unique to the Southwest, this plant embodies the resilience of its surroundings creating a resin to protect itself from the sun and producing an ozonic scent similar to the smell of the desert after rain. On the skin, it is a powerful antioxidant and protector.

Copaiba

A powerful source of β-caryophyllene, a plant terpene known for its anti-inflammatory and calming effects. This deeply nourishing oleoresin balances skin tone while working to reduce redness and irritation.

Beta-Caryophyllene

Plant terpene β-caryophyllene acts on the CB2 receptor similar to CBD, reducing inflammation and promoting homeostasis within the body and mind.

Wild Desert Sage Extract

rich in polyphenols and antioxidants that help calm inflammation, protect against environmental stressors and support skin clarity, balance and resilience.

Vitamin E

provides strong antioxidant protection that helps neutralize free radicals, support barrier function and reduce visible signs of aging, promoting smoother, stronger and more radiant skin.

Rice Bran Wax

a natural emollient rich in fatty acids that helps lock in moisture, smooth texture and reinforce the skin barrier, leaving the complexion soft, protected and deeply nourished.

The most gentle cleansing balm!
I absolutely love this cleansing balm. As someone with sensitive skin, most other cleansers make my skin feel dry and stripped of its natural oil. This balm not only cleansed my face, but it left it feeling so soft and hydrated. The natural ingredients make the "scent" so dreamy. Definitely recommend this!!!

Favorite cleanser
I was hesitant to buy this at first, but going plastic free and I loved that it was in a glass jar. I was happy with how long one jar lasts! It feels natural, not harsh at all and skin feels clean after. I use the rose serum after during the day and the amber elix vibrancy oil at night.

Supporting the integrity of skins barrier
I use this to both remove make-up and wash my skin. Sometimes I use less water and use as a gentle exfoliant. I feel like I am positively supporting the integrity of my skins natural barrier.
