ALBOLENE MOIST CLEANSER UNSCEN 350ml

Product Information

While the skincare category has made significant strides to transform how our culture defines what's beautiful, there remains opportunity to push for more inclusive and holistic definitions," said Tyler Smith, Albolene Marketing Lead for Bridges Consumer Healthcare. "Albolene continues to champion all forms of self-expression. No matter if you feel that your most beautiful self is bare-faced fresh out of a shower or in a full face of makeup ready for a night out, we want to empower our consumers to live confidently in their skin and use our cleansers as a nourishing foundation to show off their authentic selves." A makeup remover with the same effectiveness as Albolene’s original Moisturizing Cleanser but in a solid balm form that dissolves traces of makeup is called Hydrating Cleansing Balm. Petrolatum is used in the Albolene Moisturizing Cleanser because it is a rich emollient and skin protectant. It is derived from crude oil, however, it is highly purified prior to being used in cosmetics. Petrolatum has a melting point that is close to body temperature, so it softens upon application and forms a water-repellant film over the applied area. This film prevents evaporation of the skin’s natural moisture and increases skin hydration by causing buildup of water beneath the stratum corneum (the outermost layer of skin). Furthermore, petrolatum has been shown to penetrate deeply into damaged skin and enhance recovery of the skin’s barrier function. Petrolatum protects the skin after an injury by replicating the occlusive properties of the stratum corneum. Extensive clinical data has shown petrolatum to be a gentle ingredient.

Depending on your skin type you may or may not need to use additional skin care products, such as facial serums or moisturizers after cleansing. Since my skin is dry, I usuallyfinish with a few drops of a nourishing facial oil and a bit of eye cream right before bed. You can make your own homemade facial oil too if you’d like! Badmouthing mineral oil is a favorite sport of many, it is a cheap material and being connected to petrolatum makes it fairly easy to demonize.Frankincense essential oil– A popular oil for skin care due to its ability torejuvenate dry or mature skin. (Find certified organic frankincense oil online.) Paraffin is a soft, colorless wax-like solid that consists of a mixture of saturated hydrocarbon molecules which are created by the distillation of petroleum. It is a skin-conditioning ingredient that contains lubrication properties and can also help retain moisture in the skin. One problem with paraffin is that it can clog pores and promote the development of comedonal acne. While this may not be a major issue with Albolene Moisturizing Cleanser since it is intended to be washed off, it is still something to be aware of. It is also non-comedogenic, though its pure form is very heavy and greasy so combination and oily skin typesmight want to avoid it anyway.

Category: DIY Beauty I don’t have the calculations for exactly how much this DIY cleansing balm cost me, but I guarantee you it is less than what you would pay for most natural brands like Beautycounter or others. The final ingredient in the Albolene Moisturizing Cleanser formula is beta carotene, a red-orange pigment abundant in plants and fruits. Beta carotene has the ability to increase cell turnover and regeneration in the outer layers of the skin, giving the complexion a healthy glow. It is also a potent antioxidant. Antioxidants limit oxidative damage caused by free radicals, the unstable molecules that contribute to the formation of premature wrinkles and fine lines on the skin.While I wasn’t expecting to copy it completely (I don’t have access to all the ingredients that a company like Beautycounter does!), I did want my cleansing balm to have a similar consistency. I wanted it to be solid to the touch, yet melt in my hands. And obviously I wanted to use all natural, non-toxic and preferably organic ingredients. While the skincare category has made significant strides to transform how our culture defines what’s beautiful, there remains an opportunity to push for more inclusive and holistic definitions,” says Tyler Smith, marketing lead for Bridges Consumer Healthcare at Albolene.

Hydrating Cleansing Balm with Jojoba Oil- Albolene

Meanwhile, the Hydrating Daily Cleanser is a moisturizing product that provides cleansing and optimum hydration even for sensitive skin. Hyaluronic acid is one of five combined moisturizers in this product to increase hydration and smoothness while retaining moisture long after removing makeup. FYI – You many recall stories of cold cream as a popular beauty regimen used by everyone from famous actresses to your very own grandma. While the basic idea of a cold cream cleanser is similar to a cleansing balm, traditional cold creams (like Ponds) are made from mineral oil and artificial fragrances so I would steer clear of those! Cocoa butter– A moisturizing oil that comes from the cocoa bean. Cocoa butter is very hard at room temperature so it helps with the consistency of the cleansing balm. (I get disks of organic cocoa butter in bulk but you can find them online.) There are only five ingredients in the Albolene Moisturizing Cleanser: mineral oil, petrolatum, paraffin, ceresin, and beta carotene. The combination of these ingredients not only helps to remove makeup and other impurities, but also keeps the skin moisturized and soft. Below is a brief description of how each of these ingredients works.

It’s possible you’ve never even heard of cleansing balm but it’s been quite trendy lately, so maybe it’s been on your radar. While it is true that industrial grade mineral oil contains carcinogenic components (so-calledpolycyclic compounds), these are completely removed from cosmetic and food grade mineral oil and there is no scientific data showing that the pure, cosmetic grade version is carcinogenic. Calendula oil– Calendula flowers are known for their soothing and healing properties, making calendula-infused oil a perfect ingredient for cleansing balm. (Here’s the brand of calendula oil I use or you can make your own by infusing calendula flowers in a carrier oil like sunflower, olive or grapeseed oil.) Micelle technology collects and removes away dirt, oil and makeup without removing the skin’s natural oils.The brand is currently building on its previous innovations with a range of cleansers made with simple, clear formulas that give new generations of skincare consumers a suitable base for “ self-expression.”
