Take the skin test and I'll show you how suitable this product is for you.
Take the skin testA gentle, purifying and hypoallergenic formula specifically crafted for sensitive skin, backed by dermatologist and HET-CAM testing for safety and efficacy. Clean it Zero Calming Cleansing Balm melts upon contact, effortlessly lifting away heavy makeup and impurities. Enriched with Cica-Relief, a blend of Centella Asiatica Extracts and Madecassoside, it soothes the skin while deep-cleansing pores and wrinkles with its Micro-Capture Technology. Free of artificial coloring and enhanced with spa water, this balm offers a calming and nourishing cleanse, ideal for maintaining healthy, balanced skin.
Clean it Zero Calming Cleansing Balm is a rich cleansing balm from BANILA CO. The formula is built mainly around hydration. The ingredient list runs to 25 ingredients, each broken down in full below.
By its ingredient list the formula reads as rich: occlusives and butters sit high enough in the order to give it real weight on skin. The oils in it point to a dewy, emollient finish rather than a matte one. Hydration is handled by Butylene Glycol, Cetyl Ethylhexanoate and Ethylhexyl Stearate, humectants that pull water into the upper layers of skin rather than sealing it there.
Hydration: High. Ingredients that pull and hold water in the upper layers of skin, and here that comes from Butylene Glycol, Cetyl Ethylhexanoate, Ethylhexyl Stearate and Peg-20 Glyceryl Triisostearate.
Soothing: Moderate. Ingredients aimed at visible redness and reactivity, and here that comes from Cetyl Ethylhexanoate, Centella Asiatica Extract, Ectoin and Chamomilla Recutita Flower Extract.
On richness alone it suits Dry and Combination (dry) skin best, and is the least natural fit for Combination (oily) and Oily skin. Nothing in the list is flagged as a common irritant, which is a reasonable starting point for reactive skin — though a patch test is still the only way to know.
The formula contributes little or nothing on barrier support, antioxidant protection, oil control and brightening and tone. That is not a fault — most products are not meant to do everything — but if one of those is your priority, this is not the product that will address it. One ingredient on the label has not been matched to our database yet, so the analysis above reads a slightly incomplete list.
It does contain essential oils, worth knowing if your skin reacts to any of them.
It can be used morning and evening. In a routine it goes first step. Use on damp skin and rinse thoroughly. Follow with a toner or essence while skin is still slightly damp.
This summary is generated from the product's ingredient list. It is not a review, it is not the brand's own marketing claims, and it does not replace advice from a dermatologist.
