Best-selling cleansing balm since 2011
I LOVE this cleansing balm! It’s all I use! I have combination, acne prone skin and Aurora has seriously reduced my acne. I’m on second or third jar (can’t remember) so I waited to review it. Is my acne completely gone? No. But I also don’t know if it ever will be completely gone but this has reduced it so much more than anything else. If I try to use something else, I break out like crazy. As soon as I use this again, my skin calms down. I use it as a cleansing balm and as a moisturizer all year round and I have had acne since I was 15 or 16 so I have used my fair share of different skincare products. This is IT!
Bought the Aurora cleansing balm as a gift for a friend because she loves it. Her skin has never looked better and her husband loves the scent.
I've been using this balm since 2013 and I will never stop. It's a favorite part of my daily routine. Once you start you'll never stop!
So far I am loving it! I bought it for my boyfriend but I’ve been using it daily. It absorbs very well and smells absolutely incredible. Will update further into my use! I will be ordering more.
Love it! I'm often disappointed by products that do not live up to the hype. Not this one. Aurora lives up to the hype! I'm 56 with combination skin and this leaves my skin moisturized for hours, looking dewy and does not cause any breakouts (which can happen easily with the wrong product). It also is a lovely cleanser.

What it's like
This botanical cleansing balm transforms from a thick golden 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. Aurora's 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. Unlike typical cleansing balms, it also absorbs beautifully (and safely) as a moisturizer, resulting in incredibly softened skin.

In your routine
Bring the Spa home: Incorporate this multi-purpose cleansing balm into your evening routine by massaging a chickpea-sized amount onto dry skin as your first cleanse, allowing the balm to melt makeup and sunscreen before emulsifying with warm water and removing with a soft cloth. For dehydrated or irritated skin, apply a thin layer as an overnight treatment mask, focusing on areas of dryness or sensitivity. During travel, this versatile cleansing balm serves multiple functions—use it as your primary cleanser, an emergency moisturizer for weather-stressed skin, or a cuticle treatment. It does it all!

Key Ingredients in AURORA Multi-Purpose Cleansing 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.
