Gently cleanses without stripping or drying your skin
If your skin feels tight, dry, or uncomfortable after washing, your cleanser may be doing too much.
Our Cleansing Balm is designed to thoroughly remove makeup, sunscreen, and daily buildup while keeping skin comfortable and balanced. It melts into the skin to dissolve impurities instead of stripping them away, which is why many customers notice their skin feels clean, soft, and nourished, not tight, after rinsing.
This is a gentle, effective cleanser meant to support dry, sensitive, or easily overwhelmed skin.

• wear makeup or sunscreen regularly
• have dry, sensitive, or reactive skin
• want a cleanser that works without irritation
• prefer a simple, effective routine

Works as your only cleanser or as the first step in a double cleanse.
What makes a cleansing balm different
Traditional cleansers rely on surfactants that can disrupt the skin’s natural balance. A cleansing balm uses oils to dissolve makeup and impurities instead of aggressively removing them.
Because of this, many people experience less dryness, tightness, and irritation after cleansing.
Keeping it simple
Many customers choose to go back to the basics when their skin feels dry, irritated, or overwhelmed.
A gentle cleanser paired with a nourishing moisturizer is often enough to help skin feel more comfortable and balanced. That’s why many people simplify their routine to just a Cleansing Balm and Tallow Cream, focusing on consistency instead of layering multiple products.
This approach helps reduce irritation from over cleansing or over treating and allows skin to focus on staying hydrated and supported.
Simple, purposeful ingredients
Each ingredient is chosen to cleanse effectively while supporting skin comfort and hydration without unnecessary fillers.

The BEST cleanser! 'Nuff said!
Very effective at cleansing facial area with or without makeup. Only need to use small amount . Skin left feeling moisturized.
I’ve been using Root & Clay Cleansing Balm for years and can say without a doubt that it’s the best cleanser I’ve ever used. It’s creamy, spreads easily and gently removes anything that’s gotten on my face during the day. I use it faithfully every morning and evening and always make sure I have an extra full jar in my bathroom closet so I never inadvertently run out. I highly recommend ALL of Root & Clay’s products!!!
Love this product! I was skeptical at first, but now I can't go a day without it! Makes my skin feel clean and moisturized instead of stripped and dry.
