A three-in-one cleansing balm built to melt away makeup, sunscreen, and the day itself without stripping the skin of anything it needs. True Botanicals' Ginger Turmeric Cleansing Balm works with two antioxidant-rich botanicals — ginger and turmeric — alongside cucumber seed oil, argan, jojoba, avocado, and sunflower to dissolve everything on the surface while quietly nourishing what's beneath. Yucca extract acts as a natural surfactant; lactic and azelaic acids offer a soft, barrier-friendly exfoliation.
Scoop with the spatula, apply to dry skin, massage in circular motions (including around the eyes), then add warm water to transform the balm into a milky lather. Rinse. No double cleanse required, no residue, no tight feeling. Skin is clean, calm, and visibly brighter — the kind of finish that used to require three products.
MADE SAFE® certified, screened against 15,000+ known toxins, pregnancy safe, and holds the Sorette Seal of Approval. Approximately 85 uses per jar.
WHY IT'S SPECIAL
- Three-in-one cleansing balm: removes makeup, exfoliates gently, hydrates, and calms — all in a single step, so the skincare routine gets shorter, not longer.
- Ginger and turmeric as lead botanicals: two of the most studied antioxidant-rich ingredients in the natural world, brightening and balancing without irritation.
- Yucca extract as a natural surfactant: cleans effectively without the sulfates or synthetic detergents that typically strip the skin barrier.
- Lactic and azelaic acid at a low, barrier-friendly percentage: gentle enough to use daily and around the eye area, effective enough that you'll feel the difference within a week.
- Cucumber seed oil, argan, jojoba, avocado, sunflower: a rich base of plant oils that leaves skin visibly nourished rather than stripped.
- Dermatologist recommended: "Makeup wipes can wreak havoc on the skin barrier. That's why I recommend this cleansing balm — it effectively removes makeup, sunscreen and dirt without stripping the skin." — Dr. Daniel Butler, MD, Board-Certified Dermatologist.
- MADE SAFE® certified and pregnancy safe: screened against 15,000+ known toxins, holds the Sorette Seal of Approval.

THE BRAND
True Botanicals was founded in 2014 by Hillary Peterson, after a thyroid cancer diagnosis in her early thirties sent her looking for skincare that didn't force a trade-off between results and safety. Finding nothing that met both criteria, she built the brand herself — working with anti-aging scientists and green chemists to develop formulas that could outperform conventional skincare in independent clinical trials. Every product is MADE SAFE® certified, meaning it's been screened against more than 15,000 known toxins. The standard doesn't move; the formulas just keep getting better.
