The Inkey List Oat Cleansing Balm

The Inkey List Oat Cleansing Balm is a rich, melting balm cleanser formulated to dissolve makeup, SPF, and impurities while maintaining skin’s protective barrier. It transforms into an emulsifying oil with water and leaves skin soft, clean, and deeply nourished.

Suitable for both morning and evening use, this balm works best as the first step in a double cleanse routine or as a standalone makeup remover. Follow with a water-based cleanser for complete impurity removal, then proceed with serums, treatments, and moisturizer. It’s appropriate for all skin types, including sensitive skin.

This formula centers on 3% Oat Kernel Oil packed with ceramides and omega 3 & 6 fatty acids, supported by 1% Colloidal Oatmeal for anti-inflammatory and antioxidant protection. Sweet Almond Oil provides emollient softness, while Ascorbyl Palmitate (stabilized vitamin C) and Tocopherol (vitamin E) defend against oxidative stress. Lecithin enhances skin barrier support through phospholipids, and PEG-6 Caprylic/Capric Glycerides enable gentle cleansing action without disrupting skin’s natural defenses.

• Dissolves waterproof makeup and stubborn SPF in one application without stripping or over-drying skin
• Clinically proven to increase skin moisture levels; can be worn as a 10-minute nourishing mask for extra hydration
• Soothes irritation and visibly reduces redness through colloidal oatmeal’s soothing and barrier-repair properties
• Suitable for sensitive, dry, and compromised skin barriers; free from parabens, sulfates, and silicones

How to Use: Massage a small, raspberry-sized amount onto dry face and neck. Add warm water to emulsify the balm into a milky texture. Rinse thoroughly. For enhanced nourishment, apply to damp skin, leave for 10 minutes, then rinse. Use daily morning and evening as part of your cleansing routine.
