What makes this cleansing balm different

Explore the cleansing technologies and care behind formula 3.0.

Melt Away Long-Wear Makeup

Long-wear makeup: massage balm into makeup and watch it melt, illustrated with creator hand photos

Long-wear makeup is made to stay put. Broad-sds combines cleansing oils of different polarities to help dissolve different types of makeup in one cleansing step.

  • Long-wear foundation & setting spray: low-polarity oils help break down oily, water-resistant makeup films.
  • Sunscreen & mascara: medium-polarity oils help dissolve these oil-based formulas.
  • Eyeshadow & loose powder: high-polarity oils help lift pigment-rich makeup.

Massage the balm gently over dry skin to loosen makeup before adding a little water to emulsify.

MagTech: Add a Little Water, Rinse Clean

First, massage the balm over dry skin to dissolve makeup. Then wet your fingertips and add a little water to the balm on your face. Massage gently as MagTech helps the oil turn into a light, milky emulsion. Finish by rinsing thoroughly with plenty of water for a fresh feel without a heavy oily film.

OATRA + Three Nourishing Oils

A softer finish: OATRA with oat kernel oil, squalane and hazelnut oil, beside ddg cleansing balm

OATRA soothing care pairs with Finnish oat kernel oil, Brazilian sugarcane-derived squalane and European hazelnut oil to leave skin feeling soft, moisturized and comfortable after cleansing.

Made for Sunscreen Removal

SPF on, day off: melt away daily sunscreen, even on no-makeup days, with creator cleansing photo

C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate helps dissolve sunscreen films and oil-soluble sunscreen ingredients, making end-of-day SPF removal part of the same cleansing step.

Product questions, answered

Does it remove sunscreen and waterproof eye makeup?

Yes. The balm dissolves sunscreen, long-wear foundation, lipstick and waterproof mascara. Massage gently onto dry skin, keeping your eyes closed when removing eye makeup and avoiding direct contact with your eyes. Add a little water until the balm turns milky, then rinse thoroughly with plenty of water. The same cleansing step works on days when you wear sunscreen without makeup.

Should I use it on dry skin, and how do I rinse it off?

Start with dry hands and a dry face. Massage the balm over makeup and sunscreen for about 30 seconds so it melts into oil and dissolves them. Then wet your fingertips and massage in a little water until the oil turns milky. Finish by rinsing thoroughly with plenty of water. Emulsifying before the final rinse removes the balm without a heavy oily film.

Is one pod one use, and how much should I take out?

Start with about half a 3 mL pod for everyday makeup or one full pod for heavier coverage. Adjust the amount to your makeup and face size. Each box contains ten individually sealed pods, totaling 30 mL; the number of cleanses depends on the amount you use. Ten pods are not a fixed ten-use pack.

Do I need to use a second cleanser?

A second cleanser is optional. The balm removes makeup and cleanses as it emulsifies and rinses away. Follow with a water-based cleanser if you prefer a double-cleansing routine.

Is it suitable for sensitive and dry skin?

Yes. The balm is suitable for sensitive and dry skin. Oat kernel oil, squalane and hazelnut seed oil help leave skin feeling soft and comfortable after cleansing. Massage gently onto dry skin, add water to emulsify, then rinse thoroughly.

How are the travel pods different from the 50 mL mini?

Choose the pods when you want to pack individually sealed portions for trips, a gym bag or an overnight stay. The mini is one 50 mL jar that you open and take from each time; this pack contains ten separate 3 mL pods. The travel pack does not include a full-size jar, refill insert or magnetic spatula.

How should I store and open the pods?

Keep unopened pods sealed and dry, away from excessive heat. Open with dry hands and keep water out of the balm. Apply the balm to a dry face first, then add water on your face to emulsify it before rinsing.
