What's a Dépanneur?

Dépanneur /de.pa.nœʁ/.

AURORA Cleanse + Hydrate Balm

$52.00
/

Removes SPF and makeup with a single swipe, rinses it off for a plumping, dew-inducing glow, or leave on to rebalance, moisturize and soothe skin... Aurora is skincare's best kept secret.

Our best-selling, multi-purpose balm is perfect for all skin types and climates, effortlessly removing makeup and SPF as a first-cleanse while nourishing and soothing your skin with a delicious & intentional blend of oils and butters. Formulated to balance Linoleic acid in skin, so that dry, irritated and acne-prone skin can find benefits from Aurora. Emulsifies with warm water for thorough cleansing, but can also be left on skin to reap the soothing, softening benefits. Use with a warm washcloth for the ultimate ah-home spa indulgence!

Scent & texture:
This thick, emollient, mousse-like yellow balm is scented of cocoa and blood oranges, with a hint of palo santo. 

How to Use:

  • Massage a chickpea-sized amount onto dry or wet skin, let it be absorbed, then gently wipe away with a warm, wet cloth or hop in the shower and rinse it away! Removes all makeup and SPF.
  • Add a few drops of warm water, serum, or mist to create a cleansing or hydrating lotion (yes, it emulsifies!)
  • Use on it's own as a moisturizing balm for face, body, lips, hair and anywhere
  • Mix with honey, clay, serum, or mist to create a custom mask

Sustainably sourced and vegan.
