Barle Barle Charcoal Melting Cleansing Balm

What is this product?

A shave-to-use melting cleansing balm built on an ester and PEG emulsifier base with charcoal extract and black iron oxide placed in the later half of the list. A fit for those wanting a fragrance-free oil cleanse, though the charcoal sits low so pore care expectations should stay modest.

What makes it different?

The base is a classic melting-balm structure of ethylhexyl palmitate and PEG-20 glyceryl triisostearate, which rinses without a heavy greasy film. Charcoal extract and black iron oxide, placed 12th and 13th of 14 items, signal the charcoal positioning even though their amounts are undisclosed. The list has no fragrance and no drying alcohol, which suits reactive skin. Two items were not resolved by the reference table, so a small part of the formula remains unspecified in English names.
