Product Description
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.
2 and 4 oz/60 and 120 ml.

What it's like
Aurora transforms from a thick, mousse-like yellow balm into a rich oil upon contact with skin, effortlessly dissolving makeup, sunscreen, and daily impurities while enveloping the senses in its delicious aromatic blend of cocoa and blood orange with subtle notes of palo santo. The emollient texture provides a sensorial moment of indulgence during application, melting away tension along with makeup, while its ability to emulsify with water creates a milky rinse that leaves skin remarkably clean yet hydrated, with a noticeable plumpness and dewy glow that persists long after cleansing.
-
In your routine
Incorporate Aurora into your evening routine by massaging a chickpea-sized amount onto dry skin as your first cleanse, allowing the balm to dissolve makeup and sunscreen before emulsifying with warm water and removing with a soft cloth for a spa-like experience. For dehydrated or irritated skin, apply a thin layer as an overnight treatment mask, focusing on areas of dryness or sensitivity. Aurora proves invaluable for travel by serving multiple functions—use it as your primary cleanser, an emergency moisturizer for weather-stressed skin, a cuticle treatment, or even a hair smoothing balm for flyaways—eliminating the need for several separate products in your toiletry bag.

Why you need it
Aurora resolves the fundamental skincare dilemma that most cleansers create—the choice between effective makeup removal and maintaining skin health—by thoroughly cleansing without disrupting your skin's natural moisture balance. Unlike traditional makeup removers that strip the skin or leave oily residues, Aurora actually improves skin condition with each use, balancing essential fatty acids while providing anti-inflammatory benefits that calm reactivity. Its remarkable versatility eliminates the need for multiple specialized products, serving as cleanser, treatment mask, and emergency moisturizer for face, lips, and body, making it both a skincare essential and a smart investment for anyone seeking simplified yet effective routines.
Key Ingredients in AURORA Cleanse + Hydrate Balm
Mango (Mangifera indica) Seed Butter
Extracted from the kernels of mango fruits, this velvety butter delivers deep hydration with a silky-smooth finish. Packed with vitamins A and E, mango seed butter helps soften and repair dry skin while its natural emollients lock in moisture for hours. Unlike heavier butters, it absorbs beautifully without clogging pores, making it ideal for all skin types. Regular use helps improve skin elasticity and creates a protective barrier against environmental stressors, leaving your skin supple and rejuvenated.
Seabuckthorn (Hippophae Rhamnoides) Oil
Rich in rare omega-7 fatty acids and antioxidants, seabuckthorn oil is a skincare staple at Stark, extracted from the vibrant orange berries of the seabuckthorn shrub. This precious oil helps restore skin's moisture barrier, reduce inflammation, and can promote healing. It's especially beneficial for those with dry, sensitive skin or uneven texture, providing a natural glow while helping to protect against environmental stressors.
Bisabolol
Derived from chamomile, this gentle yet powerful ingredient soothes irritation and calms reactive skin on contact. Bisabolol's anti-inflammatory properties make it ideal for sensitive or redness-prone complexions, while its subtle scent provides a naturally calming aromatherapeutic experience. Beyond its soothing abilities, bisabolol enhances the penetration of other beneficial ingredients, making your entire skincare routine more effective. This versatile botanical also offers antimicrobial benefits that help promote clearer, healthier-looking skin without disrupting its natural balance.
