Shea butter face cleansers in these results are positioned for a wide range of skin types, including normal, dry and very dry, combination, oily, sensitive, acne-prone, mature, and extra-sensitive skin.
Scoop or apply the balm to dry skin, massage to melt makeup and impurities, add a little water to emulsify, then rinse or wipe away.
Many formulations advertise being paraben-free, sulfate-free, mineral oil–free and petroleum-free; some also claim phthalate-free, formaldehyde-free or similar exclusions.
These cleansers appear in several formats across the results: scrubs, balms (including butter-style balms), creams, oils and gels.
They commonly advertise cleansing plus hydration or deep moisture, smoothing and texture improvement, exfoliation and pore-clearing, nourishing/soothing effects, makeup removal, and occasional brightening or acne-targeting benefits.
