Kissimmee Vitamin F Cleansing Balm

A blend of dreamy natural oils and butters work together to soothe dehydrated skin and restore your skin barrier.

FOR: Dry skin, or use as step one in a double cleanse.

When your skin is chronically dry, or just dry right now, you need a wash that won’t suck the life out of your already-parched face. If you want bouncy, glowing skin that lasts, it all starts with your wash (the wrong one can leave you looking and feeling like dried-out paper). We blended together the best moisture-preserving ingredients we could find and kept away from anything that could potentially disrupt the skin barrier and spur on more dryness, including essential oils and sulfates.

Makeup lovers and sunscreen die-hards rejoice! Our Balmy Wash dissolves longwear pigments and stubborn SPF, making it an ideal first step in a double cleanse.

• Gingko Biloba Leaf Extract: Containing natural plant flavonoids that act as antioxidants and help fight free radicals, ginkgo acts as an anti-inflammatory. Ginkgo fights dark spots, due to its inhibition of an enzyme responsible for the development of pigment in the skin.

• Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract: Rich in polyphenols, green tea extract has strong antioxidant and skin-soothing benefits. It’s ability to prevent the breakdown of collagen helps to maintain skin elasticity.
• Parsley Seed Extract: Known for its ability to both control oil and nourish the skin, parsley extract is rich in vitamin C, K, beta-carotene, and minerals.
• Centella Asiatica Extract: Rich in amino acids, beta carotene, fatty acids, and numerous potent phytochemicals. Centella has been found to calm inflammation, speed wound healing, stimulate new cell growth, build collagen, and improve circulation.

• Sunflower seed oil: Helps rehab a damaged or irritated skin barrier.

• Mongongo seed oil: Containing Vitamin E, calcium, copper and zinc, it’s highly nutrient-dense for the skin. Rich in fatty acids, it delivers a protective, emollient layer on the surface. It’s acidic properties make it a standout: linoleic, alpha-eleostearic acid.

• Cranberry seed oil: High in antioxidants, it also has the perfect ratio of Omega-3 to Omega-6 fatty acids, which means it absorbs super well into the skin, giving you excellent hydration; your skin is then able to absorb the potent antioxidants (Vitamin E + fatty acids) and other nutrients in the oil. It improves skin’s elasticity, boosts collagen and firms skin.
• Avocado oil: Loaded with omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins A, D and E, potassium, and lecithin, the epidermis easily absorbs these nutrients, which also help form new skin. It can help promote collagen synthesis, which creates new connective tissue. It provides great relief for dry, irritated and flaky skin.
• Moringa seed oil: A plant oil that contains several antioxidants, including zeatin, quercetin, and vitamins A, C, and E. The oil is also a very good source of oleic acid, a monounsaturated fatty acid that can replenish skin and help guard against moisture loss. Moringa seed oil contains amino acids as well as plant sterols, which can have a calming effect on skin.
