What it is
ELEMIS Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm is a fragranced first-cleanse balm that melts into oil and emulsifies into milk when water is added. The brand lists five jar sizes, from 10 g to 200 g.
Key ingredients
- Padina pavonica: ELEMIS describes this brown macroalgae as antioxidant-rich and supportive of skin hydration.
- Starflower oil: The brand says it is rich in omega 6 and supports the skin barrier.
- Mimosa wax: ELEMIS describes it as a conditioning emollient that softens skin.
How to use
Use as the first cleanse in the morning and/or evening. Warm an almond-sized amount between your palms, massage over the face, neck, and decolletage, add water to turn the oil into a milk, then rinse or remove with a cleansing cloth.
Who should be careful
The manufacturer’s ingredient list includes fragrance and aromatic oils, including lavender, eucalyptus, and clove. Anyone who knows they react to fragrance or essential oils may want to review the full ingredient list first. This is general product information, not medical advice.
What the brand claims
ELEMIS says an independent 2025 clinical trial found the balm removed long-wear and waterproof makeup and supported the skin barrier for 24 hours. The product page does not state the study size or duration; these are brand-reported results, not our findings.
