Thank You Farmer Pollufree Makeup Melting Cleansing Balm 90ml

Thank You Farmer Pollufree Makeup Melting Cleansing Balm is a 100% waterless, oil-based first-step cleanser built around a patented anti-pollution technology unique to the Thank You Farmer brand. Its sherbet-solid texture melts to oil on contact with warm skin, dissolves makeup and pollutant particles through the principle of “like dissolves like,” and then emulsifies to a milky consistency when water is added — rinsing away cleanly without leaving a greasy residue. The result is skin that is thoroughly cleansed, free of fine dust and waterproof makeup, yet comfortable, moisturized, and calm.

• Patented Perilla Frutescens (Korean Perilla Herb) Leaf Extract at 10,000ppm is the defining and exclusive active of this formula. Perilla Frutescens — a traditional Korean herb cultivated in Gyeongsangbuk Province — was selected by Thank You Farmer and developed into a patented anti-pollution ingredient through proprietary extraction and concentration methods. The extract is exceptionally rich in Rosmarinic Acid (a potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory polyphenol), Perillaldehyde and Perilla Ketone (aromatic compounds with antimicrobial and skin-protective properties), Anthocyanin (a blue-red flavonoid pigment with powerful free radical scavenging activity), Linoleic Acid (an essential fatty acid supporting barrier function), and Beta-Carotene and Vitamins A, C, and E. In independent clinical testing, a single-use application of this formula removed 98.29% of fine dust particles — one of the primary environmental skin stressors associated with oxidative damage, inflammation, premature aging, and pore congestion in urban environments.
• The 3-plant anti-pollution support complex — Artemisia Vulgaris (Mugwort) Oil, Opuntia Ficus-Indica (Prickly Pear Cactus) Stem Extract, and Monarda Didyma Leaf Extract — works alongside Perilla to address the three key skin consequences of environmental exposure: irritation, moisture loss, and sebum imbalance. Artemisia Vulgaris Oil (Mugwort) is a revered traditional Korean medicinal herb rich in Artemisinin, Camphor, and Cineole, providing potent anti-inflammatory and soothing activity that calms redness and sensitivity triggered by environmental stressors, while also helping to minimize the appearance of enlarged pores. Opuntia Ficus-Indica (Prickly Pear Cactus) Stem Extract is exceptionally high in polysaccharides and polyphenolic antioxidants — it forms a moisture-retaining film on the skin surface that prevents water loss, soothes inflammation, and provides additional antioxidant shielding against pollution-induced free radical damage. Monarda Didyma Leaf Extract (known as Bergamot Bee Balm) provides gentle exfoliating and sebum-regulating properties, helping to prevent the pore congestion and excess oiliness that often accompanies exposure to fine dust and pollutants.
• The self-emulsifying oil system — Ethylhexyl Pelargonate, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Cetyl Ethylhexanoate, and Isopropyl Palmitate — with PEG-20 Glyceryl Triisostearate as emulsifier is the technical foundation that makes this balm both highly effective and easy to rinse. Ethylhexyl Pelargonate is the primary carrier oil — an ultra-lightweight, rapidly absorbed ester with a skin-identical feel that carries and dissolves oil-based impurities, makeup, and pollution particles from the skin surface without heaviness. Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (derived from coconut oil) provides additional emollient cleansing power. Cetyl Ethylhexanoate and Isopropyl Palmitate contribute to the smooth, velvety balm texture and aid in the even spread and melt of the product on the skin. PEG-20 Glyceryl Triisostearate acts as the self-emulsifying agent that causes the transformation from oil to milky texture when water is added during rinsing — ensuring the formula lifts and rinses away cleanly rather than leaving a film, even in a single rinse step.
• Polyethylene (PE wax) is the structural ingredient responsible for the signature sherbet-solid texture of the balm at room temperature. It holds the oils in a semi-solid state that is easy to scoop (using the included spatula for hygienic application) and warm and melt between the fingertips before applying to the face — providing a tactilely luxurious application experience while ensuring a precise, controlled amount is used each time.
• Tocopheryl Linoleate is a Vitamin E ester that provides antioxidant protection to both the formula’s oils (preventing rancidity and extending shelf life) and the skin itself, reducing oxidative stress from free radicals encountered throughout the day. Pentaerythrityl Tetra-di-t-butyl Hydroxyhydrocinnamate (Tinogard TT) is a premium oil-phase antioxidant preservative that ensures the formula remains stable and effective without requiring water-phase preservatives — consistent with the clean, minimal-ingredient approach of this 100% waterless formula.

How to Use:

• Use the included spatula to scoop an appropriate amount of balm onto dry fingertips.
• Warm between the palms until it melts to oil, then apply to dry face and massage gently in circular motions.
• Moisten hands with water and continue massaging — the texture will emulsify from oil to milky white.
• Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
• For full daily cleansing, follow with a water-based second cleanser.
