THE INKEY LIST | OAT CLEANSING BALM

I can’t help myself. I love cleansers! And particularly oil-based cleansers like the Purito From Green Cleansing Oil and The Ordinary’s Squalane Cleanser.

There’s just nothing more pampering than massaging the day off of your face and feeling entirely renewed. It’s truly akin to a sacred rite for me.

So I was naturally super excited about The Inkey List’s new Oat Cleansing Balm. It’s a thick, gooey, oily treat for the skin and a real pleasure to use.

There are many cleansing balms on the market — and I think the most conventional of them are the semi-solids that come in tubs. Consider the icon of K-Beauty, the Banila Clean It Zero 3-in-1 Cleansing Balm. Or Drunk Elephant’s relatively new Slaai Makeup-Melting Butter Cleanser. Maybe you’re more familiar with Clinique’s Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm. All of them are fantastic formulas, and all have brought me great pleasure at the bathroom sink basin.

But as pleasurable and effective as they are, they’re a bit of a pain to use. I’ve often reached for one or the other and thought, ugh, I’m not in the mood to get out a spatula and scoop up cleaning balm right now. So I go for something else.

Inkey solved my conundrum — or let’s just call it my laziness. The Oat Cleansing Balm is juuuuuuust liquidy or runny enough to come out out of a tube and not need to sit in a cumbersome tub.

The first ingredient in Oat Cleansing Balm is Sweet Almond Oil; I imagine that comprising upwards of 65-70% of the clean formula.

But I gotta say Inkey nailed the texture. It melts instantly into your palms as you massage it onto dry skin.
