Description

The Activist Skincare Deep Moisture Cleansing Balm is a balm-to-oil cleanser that takes its job seriously: dissolving makeup, sunscreen, and daily buildup on dry skin before you ever introduce water. Shea butter and grape seed oil anchor the formula, delivering moisture as they cleanse, while quillaja and soapwort extracts (Quillaja Saponaria and Saponaria Officinalis) provide the gentle lather that rinses clean without stripping. A soft, grounding vanilla note from Vanilla Planifolia Fruit Oil makes the ritual feel intentional rather than routine.

  • Balm-to-oil format applied to dry skin first, so no double cleanse is needed and the moisture barrier stays intact.
  • Free of synthetic fragrance, essential oils, and over 1,000 flagged toxins, making it a considered choice for dry and sensitive skin types.
  • Available in a reusable glass jar or a 50 mL refill pouch, so the packaging footprint shrinks with every subsequent purchase.

Rosemary leaf extract and glycerin round out a formula where every ingredient earns its place. If your current cleanser leaves skin tight or reactive, this one is worth a closer look.

Very gentle and smells devine

I live in a hot dry climate, so my skin gets dry and sensitive very easily. This cleanser is the gentlest I’ve found, but still effective, and definitely moisturizing.

Smells amazing!

I enjoyed using this in the trial kit, but ultimately preferred the blue cleanser, however, the Deep Moisture Cleansing Balm smells fantastic and does feel really good to the skin.

I love using this more than any cleanser ive ever used. The consistency makes it very easy to spresd but more than that it just really feels luxurious. I also love the smell which is very natural and subtle. It leaves my skin with a killer dewy glow afterwords to.

Outstanding

I love Activist. I have nightmare skin and have spent a small fortune trying to soothe it. Activist just works, quietly and without fanfare. Allison is a wonderful human being and has helped me to come up with the best regimen for me, especially since I have a severely limited income. It means a lot to buy from an ethical company run by a caring human-- especially when the products actually work. I'm so happy to have found Activist.

My favorite cleanser!

This cleanser is perfect for me! It moisturizes my skin while cleaning it! It smells good and doesn’t irritate my face even when I’m extra dry!
