Gentle and nourishing cleansing balm
This is a very good cleansing balm. Scentless, genlte and nourishing. I'd love to rate it with five stars - HoliFrog is an amazing skincare brand with a great philosophy. Love its products! - but unfortunately this cleansing balm doesn't get completely rid of stubborn/waterproof mascara.

The product comes in a glass bottle and looks and feels luxurious.

Its formula contains some great Show more
