Moringa & Tulsi Herbal Cleansing Balm
$40.00
Our Moringa & Tulsi Herbal Cleansing Balm is a waterless cleanser that starts as a balm and softens into a silky oil as you massage it in. Whole-herb infusions of moringa leaf (Moringa oleifera) and holy basil, also known as tulsi (Ocimum sanctum), grown in InVine's herb garden, are carried in apricot kernel and grapeseed oils, then blended with velvety mango butter, fine kaolin clay, beeswax, and a little Vitamin E to help keep the oils fresh. Worked over dry skin, it dissolves makeup and daily impurities; a warm, damp cloth lifts everything away. Skin is left feeling clean, soft, and comfortable. Contains only natural ingredients, with no added water and no added fragrance.
2oz amber glass jar with a spatula enclosed, amber glass protects botanical ingredients from UV degradation, preserving freshness and potency

Signature Use
Use the enclosed spatula to scoop a small amount onto dry hands. Gently massage onto a dry face, including around the eyes, to dissolve makeup and daily impurities. Remove with a warm, damp cloth. Rinse if desired. For external use only. Do not apply to broken skin. Avoid direct contact with the eyes; if contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water. Natural heat may soften the balm; refrigerate briefly to restore texture. Best used within 12 months of opening.
Formulated by Janice as the step before everything else: moringa and tulsi from our garden, slow-infused whole in apricot kernel and grapeseed oils, then blended with mango butter, a little kaolin clay, and beeswax. Massage it onto dry skin and it softens into an oil that lifts makeup and the day's buildup. A warm, damp cloth takes it all away and leaves skin feeling soft, never stripped.

Clinique Take The Day Off is short, fragrance-free, and very good at its job. It is also thickened with polyethylene. An honest comparison with a waterless cleansing balm of garden herbs, mango butter, and beeswax.

Pond's Cold Cream earned its century on the dresser, but the jar is mineral oil, water, and fragrance. The original cold cream was plant oil and beeswax. An honest comparison with a waterless whole-herb cleansing balm.
Read articleA little goes a long way, a thin layer is all you need, so a 2oz / 57g jar typically lasts for months of regular use.
Yes, the herbs in our infusions are grown in our own Tallahassee garden and infused whole. The oils, beeswax, and essential oils that finish each formula come from trusted suppliers.
No, and it does not need them. Every InVine formula is waterless. Microbes need water to grow, so there is nothing for a preservative to protect against. Vitamin E is an antioxidant that keeps the oils fresh, not a preservative. Keep the jar closed and keep water out of it.
Keep it below about 75°F and out of direct sunlight. Botanical formulas can soften in summer heat, if that happens in transit, let the jar rest at room temperature and it will settle back down.
