Tailored [skin-loving] Ingredients

Barrier Lipid Complex

Skin-identical lipids, delivered in their optimal balance. They help replenish the essential lipids a cleanser can deplete — supporting barrier function, improving moisture retention, and restoring a healthier, more resilient-looking complexion.

CoQ10

A powerful antioxidant that helps protect skin from environmental stress and free-radical damage during cleansing — the moment the barrier is most exposed. Supports a healthier-looking, more resilient complexion.

Astragalus Membranaceus Root Extract

Helps support the skin’s collagen structure and smooth the look of texture for a firmer, more lifted appearance. Helps create a smoother, more toned-looking complexion with continued use.

Shea Butter 

Shea butter is a super nourishing ingredient that moisturises and smooths dry and irritated skin. It creates a protective barrier to lock in hydration.

Sunflower Seed Oil 

Sunflower seed oil is rich in both linoleic and oleic acids, and vitamin E. It easily penetrates your skin for deep moisturising and reduces inflammation. Antioxidant properties fight signs of ageing caused by free radical damage.

Jojoba Seed Oil 

Jojoba oil is a liquid wax and a natural occlusive agent, which moisturises, nourishes and protects your skin. Jojoba oil is a similar consistency to your skin's natural oils, making it a great option for oily skin as it helps to regulate sebum (oil) production and is non-comedogenic (meaning it won't clog your pores).

Squalane

Squalane is a naturally occurring anti-ageing component of the skin. Your skin produces less as you age, but luckily it can be replenished by adding it into your skincare routine. It moisturises and encourages your skin to balance natural oil production.

Vitamin E 

Vitamin E is a fatty acid and an antioxidant so it is doubly nourishing for the skin. It protects against free radical damage, fights inflammation and boosts skin healing.

Sweet Almond Oil

A nourishing plant oil rich in fatty acids that helps soften and moisturise skin. Helps replenish the skin with conditioning lipids, leaving it feeling smooth and comfortable after cleansing.

Hydrogenated Rapeseed Oil

A nourishing plant-derived emollient that helps soften and smooth skin while supporting the formula’s rich, buttery texture. Helps leave skin feeling comfortable and moisturised after cleansing.

Oliwax

A plant-derived wax blend that helps create Balm Cleanse’s buttery-soft texture and supports its transformation from a balm into a silky milk when water is added. Helps leave skin feeling soft and conditioned without a heavy residue.

Cetyl Alcohol

A fatty alcohol that helps give Balm Cleanse its smooth, creamy texture while helping to condition and soften the skin. Unlike drying alcohols, fatty alcohols are non-stripping and moisturising.

Polyglyceryl-4 Oleate

A gentle, plant-derived emulsifier that helps the balm transform into a milky texture when water is added. Helps lift away makeup, SPF and daily build-up so they can be rinsed away cleanly.

Ceteareth-20

An emulsifier that helps oil and water-based ingredients work together, allowing Balm Cleanse to transform from a rich balm into a smooth, milky emulsion that rinses away easily.

How to Use

Scoop with the spatula, a little goes further than you think.

Massage into dry skin. No water yet. Take your time; this is the part that does the work.

Wet your hands and keep massaging. The balm emulsifies into a milk and the whole film, makeup, SPF, the day — lifts with it.

Remove with a warm, damp Tailor Towel.

Multi-targeting

Because skin isn’t one-size-fits-all. Balm Cleanse is designed to cleanse, nourish and support your skin barrier — whatever your skin type or concern. Click on your skin type and we'll tell you why.

Breakout Prone

Worried a nourishing balm will feel too rich? Don't be. Jojoba oil is non-comedogenic and helps condition the skin without clogging pores, while the gentle balm-to-milk formula removes makeup, SPF and daily build-up without stripping your skin.

Dry Skin

Dry skin often lacks the oils it needs to keep moisture locked in. Balm Cleanse replenishes skin with nourishing lipids, including squalane, shea butter, jojoba oil and sunflower seed oil, helping leave dry skin feeling soft, comfortable and conditioned after cleansing.

Oily Skin

Oily skin still needs its lipids. Jojoba oil helps condition the skin without clogging pores, while Balm Cleanse removes makeup, SPF and build-up without the harsh stripping that can leave skin feeling tight and uncomfortable.

Ageing Skin

As skin matures, it naturally produces fewer lipids — the same lipids that help keep your barrier strong and skin feeling comfortable. Balm Cleanse replenishes these as you cleanse, while CoQ10 provides antioxidant support and Astragalus Root Extract helps support a smoother, firmer-looking complexion.

Combination Skin

Dry here, oily there? Balm Cleanse has you covered. Nourishing oils and skin-identical lipids help replenish and condition drier areas, while jojoba oil provides lightweight nourishment without clogging pores. All without stripping your skin’s natural barrier.

Dehydrated Skin

Dehydrated skin is lacking water, but your cleanser can still play a role in keeping skin comfortable. Balm Cleanse helps protect the lipids that support moisture retention while nourishing the skin, leaving it feeling soft, supple and comfortable rather than tight after cleansing.

Uneven Skin

Cleansing shouldn't leave your skin feeling stripped in the pursuit of a clean complexion. Balm Cleanse gently removes makeup, SPF and daily build-up while CoQ10 provides antioxidant support and Astragalus Root Extract helps smooth the look of skin texture for a more even-looking complexion.

Normal Skin

Even happy skin needs a good cleanser. Balm Cleanse removes makeup, SPF and daily build-up while replenishing nourishing lipids to support your skin barrier. With CoQ10 antioxidant support and conditioning plant oils, skin is left clean, soft and comfortable.

Sensitive Skin

Sensitive skin doesn't need a complicated cleansing routine. Balm Cleanse is fragrance-free and designed to cleanse gently without stripping. Its nourishing lipids and conditioning plant oils help support the skin barrier, leaving sensitive skin feeling soft, comfortable and cared for.

The mission is clear. It’s literally in the name.

To offer skincare that’s tailored to your skin.

Tailored skincare means concise skincare. Multi-purpose products made to treat multiple skin concerns, in multiple ways, without needing to buy multiple bottles. Think a mask that works as an exfoliator and a spot treatment, a hyaluronic acid serum that is also a primer or a moisturiser that’s also an eye serum and an overnight mask.

When each product can work in multiple ways, it saves you buying a million products you’re never going to use. Buy stuff that works. And then works in another way. And another. And on the shelf.

Buy less, buy Tailor.
