Fondant Cleansing Balm by Aurélie

Fondant Cleansing Balm

First cleanse, dissolves mineral SPF

A sherbet balm built specifically to lift mineral sunscreen, which most oil cleansers leave behind. Sunflower and safflower esters melt on contact, a gentle emulsifier turns the balm milky under water, and it rinses without the greasy film that sends people back for a third cleanse.

Squalane and 2% glycerin stay behind deliberately so that skin does not feel stripped afterwards. In a 12-week user trial of 102 volunteers, 88% reported that their skin felt comfortable rather than tight immediately after cleansing. One almond-sized scoop is enough for a full face, applied to dry skin and worked for sixty seconds.

    The encapsulation actually works

    I am a dermatology nurse and I have started and abandoned four retinoids. This is the first one I got past week three with. No flaking, no stinging around the nose, and the texture change on my cheeks was obvious by the second month.

    Six months on the toner

    The 10% niacinamide is the only thing that has ever calmed the redness around my nose without making it worse first. It is not a dramatic product. It is just quietly better every month, and the pH being stated on the bottle is why I bought it.

    Finally a mineral SPF I will wear

    No cast on my skin tone, which has never been true of a zinc sunscreen before. It does take a good minute to blend properly, so take the instructions seriously. The powder layers over it without any mismatch at the jaw.

    They answered my email themselves

    I wrote asking whether I could use the bakuchiol oil while pregnant and one of the chemists replied the next morning with the actual reasoning, not a disclaimer. The oil itself is beautiful - eight drops on damp skin and nothing else needed.
