Collection: Korean Cleansing Balm | Makeup-Melting Balms for Double Cleansing

Melt away makeup richly with Korean cleansing balms. Cleansing balms are solid oil cleansers that melt into a silky oil on contact, dissolving even heavy makeup and SPF. Our curated collection of cleansing balms gently removes impurities while nourishing skin, leaving it clean, soft and comfortable.

What Cleansing Balms Do

Cleansing balms melt into a silky oil on contact, dissolving makeup, SPF and sebum richly and effortlessly — the comforting oil-based first step of the double cleanse.

Balm vs Oil Cleanser

Both are first-step cleansers. Cleansing oils are liquid and great for daily use, while balms are solid and often richer — ideal for heavy makeup and dry skin.

Part of Double Cleansing

Use a balm first to melt away makeup, then follow with a foam cleanser to complete the double cleanse for thoroughly clean, balanced skin.
