My Rose Cleansing Balm has been one of my top products to reformulate for a while, because I wanted it to be as indulgent as all my other Sabbatical Beauty products. So in this Spring 2021 iteration, I’ve switched out the main oils in this balm to be more skin loving, so that you enjoy a luxurious experience while cleansing - with oils that are so good for you, that you can also use them as a mask!

Our 3 key oils in Rose Cleansing Balm:

🌹 Hazelnut Oil - this is one of my favorite oils, because of its high concentrations of tannins and catechins, which both make it feel dry to the skin and not greasy. It is also filled with many polyphenols and has one of the highest flavonoid concentrations of a carrier oil, meaning it is antioxidant rich and helps to reduce inflammation and make your skin glow.

🌹 Shea Butter - Shea butter contains a high concentration of Vitamin E in the form of tocopherol and tocotrienols, so it acts as a natural antioxidant to help reduce irritation, redness and prevent premature aging. It also naturally contains allantoin, which is approved by the FDA as a cosmetic ingredient to protect your skin’s moisture barrier, thereby protecting chafed, cracked or windburned skin and reviving damaged skin. Allantoin also helps with wound healing and cell regeneration, making your skin more flexible and glowing.

🌹 Castor Oil - Castor oil is an excellent oil to treat acne & inflammation as it feels dry on the skin, but still softens skin, and is very low on the comedogencity scale. I’ve used a washable castor oil in this iteration so that it comes off super cleanly.
