Formulation Deep Dive

The Farmacy Beauty Green Clean Cleansing Balm is a high-performance anhydrous solid-to-oil cleanser designed for efficient removal of long-wear makeup and environmental pollutants. The base is engineered using Cetyl Ethylhexanoate and Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, structured with Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Wax and Stearyl Behenate to create a balm consistency that melts upon skin contact with optimized slip. Active performance is driven by Carica Papaya (Papaya) Fruit Extract for gentle enzymatic exfoliation, supported by Moringa Oleifera Seed Oil and Zingiber Officinale (Ginger) Root Oil to purify and revitalize the skin barrier. The formula is stabilized with a sophisticated ester and triglyceride matrix, including Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride and Polyhydroxystearic Acid, and utilizes a self-preserving anhydrous system bolstered by Tocopherol (Vitamin E) for antioxidant protection and lipid stability.
