Cleansing is the cornerstone of every radiant skincare ritual - not a chore to rush through, but a moment to savour. It’s the daily reset that prepares your skin to receive everything that follows, the quiet pause where makeup, impurities and SPF melt away. But beneath the indulgence lies something even more essential: protection.
Throughout the day, your skin becomes a magnet for environmental aggressors - invisible particles of pollution, dust, smoke, excess sebum, and oxidised SPF. These microscopic pollutants don’t simply sit on the surface; they can cling to the skin, settling into pores and interacting with natural oils to create oxidative stress. Left untouched, they can dull luminosity, disrupt the moisture barrier, accelerate the look of ageing, and contribute to congestion and irritation. This is why cleansing is more than a step; it is a safeguard that sweeps away not only what you see but the residue you can’t.
Collagene Expert™ Melting Cleansing Balm has been crafted precisely for a skin-loving experience - luxurious, restorative, and effortlessly effective. It turns the everyday cleanse into an elevated ritual, transforming the simple act of washing your face into a moment of sensory indulgence, skin purification, and pure complexion-loving care. Its sumptuous, cushiony texture glides across the skin with ease, needing no warming, softening, or effort to reveal its revitalising power. Upon contact, the balm begins its exquisite transformation, melting instantly into a silky oil, then emulsifying into a featherlight, whisper-soft milk that rinses away beautifully, leaving the skin comforted, cleansed, and exquisitely refreshed.
At the heart of this formula are plant-derived collagen and potent polypeptides, the true architects of resilient skin. Phyto-collagen works to replenish and support the skin’s natural structural proteins, helping to maintain suppleness, firmness, and elasticity. Unlike traditional collagen, which is too large to penetrate the skin, plant collagen acts on the surface to reinforce the skin’s barrier, smoothing texture and giving a visible plumpness that enhances luminosity and softness. Polypeptides are short chains of amino acids and molecular messengers that signal the skin to produce and maintain its own collagen and elastin. By stimulating these essential proteins, polypeptides help reduce the appearance of fine lines, improve resilience, and support a youthful, rejuvenated complexion. Together, these ingredients create a dual-action effect where one nourishes and reinforces, the other activates and rejuvenates – they are the perfect match for radiant, resilient skin.
Infused with a carefully curated blend of ten natural oils and butters, including a sub-tropical fruit seed oil blend, this formula features Andiroba, Baobab, and Jojoba oils to leave skin looking healthy, nourished, and supported. From the tangled roots of the Amazon to the towering African Baobab and the hardy desert Jojoba, each seed contains oils rich in nourishment, resilience, and centuries of natural wisdom, now harnessed to care for your skin.
When cold-pressed and fused into a single blend, these oils become a potent powerhouse; light in texture but rich in power, ready to fortify and energise your skin. As you massage the decadent balm over the skin the oils penetrate deeply, reinforcing your natural barrier and leaving the complexion charged with vitality. Each oil in this sophisticated blend contributes its own unique qualities, combining to cleanse, fortify, and nourish the skin for a ritual that is as indulgent as it is effective.
Hailing from the heart of the Amazon, Andiroba oil is nature’s gift to skin that seeks both nourishment and restoration. Rich in essential fatty acids including oleic, linoleic, palmitic, and stearic acids, and brimming with antioxidants, it delivers deep, lasting hydration while protecting against environmental stress. Infused with antioxidant rich polyphenols, Andiroba oil gently calms inflammation, soothes stressed and sensitive skin, and supports its natural regenerative processes, leaving the complexion smoother, balanced, and radiant with vitality.
And from the iconic African baobab tree, often called the ‘tree of life’ comes Baobab seed oil, a rich elixir renowned for its quenching and restorative properties. Packed with essential fatty acids and vitamins, it works to lock in moisture, reduce water loss, and leave skin feeling soft, supple, and conditioned. Its antioxidants act as vigilant protectors, defending the skin against free radicals - those unstable molecules that can accelerate signs of ageing - helping the complexion maintain a healthy, youthful glow over time.
And the skin’s harmoniser, Jojoba Oil, is derived from the resilient desert jojoba plant. Naturally mirroring the skin’s own oils, it absorbs effortlessly, delivering targeted hydration where it’s needed most. Enriched with vitamins and antioxidants, it protects against environmental stress, soothes sensitivity, and supports the skin’s natural renewal, while helping to maintain balance across all skin types.
When this trilogy of oils come together in a thoughtful blend along with a carefully curated blend of natural oils and butters it’s like weaving light, protective layers over your skin; layers that moisturise deeply, soothe irritation, defend against environmental stress, and nurture skin’s natural barrier.
And the goodness doesn’t stop there. This decadent balm is infused with a powerhouse of replenishing and comforting actives including Ceramides which fortify the skin’s protective barrier and lock in essential moisture and Hyaluronic Acid Microspheres which dive deep into every tiny crevice and fine line, delivering an instant surge of plumping hydration. As they swell upon contact, they smooth texture, soften lines, and leave the skin full, supple, and luminous as if lit from within.
Completing this advanced formulation is biomimetic squalane, a state-of-the-art, intelligently designed lipid that mirrors the skin’s natural oils, integrating seamlessly into the barrier to lock in hydration, smooth texture, and leave skin luxuriously soft and nourished. Its clever design ensures that every layer of the skin feels protected, balanced, and deeply cared for.
This cleanser is so gentle, it’s suitable for even the most sensitive skin. Every ingredient has been chosen to nurture, protect, and restore, ensuring that the skin is cared for with the utmost delicacy. And the results speak for themselves: in user trials, participants consistently reported skin that felt smooth, hydrated, and visibly strengthened, proving that this is more than a cleanser; it’s a treatment your skin can trust and a true indulgence for the senses: this formula is pure luxury in a jar, where indulgence meets efficacy.
