Award-winning balm cleanser in travel size. Upcycled apricot stone powder. Removes makeup gently.

This cleansing balm gently removes makeup (including mascara), pollution, and impurities while deeply cleansing, soothing, and hydrating skin. Made with upcycled apricot stone powder—a byproduct of the apricot oil industry rich in vitamin E—combined with blackcurrant seed, blue tansy, and sea buckthorn oils for skin-calming nourishment.

Why upcycled apricot stones: The apricot oil industry discards stones after extracting oil. UpCircle collects these stones, finely grinds them into powder, and uses their high concentration of antioxidant vitamin E. You get the skin benefits while reducing waste.

The formula:

Apricot Stone Powder: Rich in vitamin E and antioxidants that nourish and protect skin during cleansing. The gentle powder adds subtle texture without being abrasive.

Blackcurrant Seed Oil: Calms and soothes skin, particularly beneficial for sensitive or reactive skin types.

Blue Tansy Oil: Anti-inflammatory and skin-calming. Helps reduce redness and irritation.

Sea Buckthorn Oil: Rich in vitamins and fatty acids that nourish and repair skin barrier. Promotes healing and hydration.

Oat Oil: Gentle and soothing, particularly for sensitive skin. Provides additional calming benefits.

How it works: The balm texture melts on contact with skin, dissolving makeup, sunscreen, and daily buildup. Emulsifies with water for easy removal—no need for harsh rubbing or multiple cleansing steps.

For all skin types: Dermatologically approved and gentle enough for sensitive skin. Effective for removing heavy makeup without stripping or irritating.
