seaweed cleansing balm

A good skin cleanser is vegan, contains no palm oil, and is sold in zero-waste packaging (either compostable or easy to recycle).

Dr Organic Cleansing Balm is made with seaweed, to easily melt away the day’s impurities and make-up, to leave your skin beautifully clean and hydrated, without irritation or dryness. The organic seaweed helps to absorb water, and draw moisture to your skin cells. Perfect for daily use, this is lightly scented with the fresh herbal aroma of rosemary.

To use, just apply onto a dry face and neck, add water and gently massage in circular motions. Then rinse and finish with a damp cloth or flannel.

Avoid essential oils for pregnancy/nursing (find safe alternatives) and affected medical conditions. Avoid shea butter for latex allergies. Keep away from pets, due to essential oils, cocoa butter etc.

SPF creams may contain pet-toxic zinc or titanium oxide, so avoid if you live with animal friends (or wash off, before letting them lick or kiss you!)
