Wishful - therealchelsea review for Clean Genie Cleansing Butter

This creamy balm to oil to milky emulsion cleansing balm is perfect for your first cleanse. Delight in the glass skin it leaves behind - it’s like watching light dance across the skin! While the ingredients aren’t perfect, they’re good and I feel fortunate that I’ve met this product! 💫 Packaging-comes in a reasonably tamper-proof box that reveals a tub of amazing cleansing balm 💫 Appearance-OMG texture. I’ve tried to get a close up in the pics with this post. It’s a beautiful light minty green that has a light fresh fragrance 💫 Application-a dream! Feels so soothing and adequately removes makeup and grime 💫 Overall-fantastic product that has become my go to for makeup days. Also use it on days when my skin feels particularly sensitive. A lot of the ingredients are emulsifiers, colour, and (yucky) fragrance. But, no Geraniol, commonly thought to be the worst offender. Ingredients to note include: Ingredients overview Caprylic/Capric /Triglyceride- fatty acids derived from coconut and glycerin that form a protective layer on the skin Peg-20 Glyceryl Triisostearate-used to create a microemulsion , which is a mixture of water, oil and surfactants, leaving no oily residue Camellia Sinensis is a green tea extract, derived from the leaves and buds of the tea plant Camellia sinensis. It boasts potent polyphenols (aka catechins) that are both antioxidants and have anti-inflammatory properties. Green tea also contains caffeine and tannins, which shrink blood vessels and decrease puffiness Malachite Extract-an antioxidant that is derived from pulverizing malachite stones Prunus Yedoensis Leaf Extract-anti-inflammatory effects and soothes the skin by reducing inflammation Prunus Lannesiana Flower Extract-boosts the collagen production in fibroblasts and delivers anti-aging effects Prunus Serrulata Flower Extract-excellent anti-inflammatory and skin soothing benefits Ascorbic Acid-powerful antioxidant that also serves as a preservative Malic Acid- derived from apples, this is a great AHA Tocopherol-the major fat-soluble antioxidant in our skin, protecting the skin cells from collagen destroying free-radicals Butylene Glycol - a humectant, slipping agent, and penetration enhancer. This is a multipurpose solvent that I’m always happy to see in my skincare products.
