NIOD SANSKRIT SAPONINS CLEANSING BALM 180ML

A viscous and intense cleaning balm for the face formulated with highly-concentrated, very-unrefined Ayurvedic plant surfactants. SS contains no purified or synthetic surfactants, sulphates, oils, esters or micellar technologies. It is a pH-balanced suspension of the amino acid, Lysine, in saponins from the Ayurvedic plants shikakai and sapindus mukorossi.

While many modern products remove makeup and surface dirt very effectively, they largely leave the pores unclean of bacteria, dirt and oils. Such products also leave spent cells more intact than even through water-cleaning, discouraging the skin to behave optimally.
The alternative is the use of aggressive acids, alcohols and exfoliants. They interact with the skin's bonds to peel the surface and/or specifically dry out as much oil as possible. This approach does clean the surface well but causes inflammation and encourages excess exposure of the skin's lower layers to the environment, allowing for premature ageing.

Plant saponins clean the surface of dead cells without peeling the skin. They delete dirt, clean pores intensely and they remove the skin's own oils. To never clean these oils discourages their natural recycling — in a way, it would discourage the skin to engage in "exercise". The Ayurvedic saponins provide a near-perfect equilibrium between deep cleaning and respecting skin integrity. With continued use, SS targets all forms of build-up, blemishes, congestion and impurities. It is suitable for all skin types. After the first use, SS leaves the skin looking nearly pore-free and its surface exceptionally cleaned — as if it's radiating from within.

Directions:

  • Use once every other day in the AM or the PM. SS can be used more frequently if desired.
  • SS is not intended to remove makeup. If makeup is present, remove first with LVCE or a suitable makeup remover before using SS.
  • Wet face thoroughly. Massage SS between your palms for a few seconds to form a paste-like lather. Apply to the entire face and massage gently, avoiding the eyes. Rinse thoroughly, keeping your eyes closed. Dry with a towel.
  • For a deeper clean lather in palms and apply to dry skin. Leave on for 5 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with eyes closed and dry with a towel.
  • Notes: plant saponins (and plants in general) can mildly irritate the eyes. While this sensitivity can be avoided by keeping your eyes closed during cleaning, if you develop any mild sensitivity around the eyes, it will disappear within a few minutes. Within the first few minutes after using SS, you may feel that your skin feels mildly dry. This feeling is very short-lived and, within a few minutes, you'll notice your skin returns to normal.

Ingredients:

  • Aqua (Water), Sapindus Mukurossi Fruit Extract, Stearic Acid, Arginine, Glycerin, PPG-26-buteth-26, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Polysorbate 60, Sodium Polyacrylate, Acacia Concinna Fruit Extract, Balanites Aegyptiaca (Desert Date) Fruit Extract, Gypsophila Paniculata Root Extract, Trisodium Ethylenediamine Disuccinate, Sorbic Acid, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate, Phenoxyethanol, Chlorphenesin.
