This is our five-step, everyday skincare routine—perfect if you’re new to Oak, or want a complete ritual that cleanses, hydrates, and reveals a natural glow.

Cleansing Balm begins as a rich, luxurious balm that melts into an oil, helping sweep away makeup, sunscreen, and daily buildup. The formula is powered by Safflower Seed Oil to help nourish dryness, Avocado Oil to support the skin barrier, and Sesame Seed Oil to help balance pH while flooding the skin with antioxidants and fatty acids. Once removed with a damp washcloth, your complexion should feel soft, supple, and non-stripped with a noticeably moisturized finish. It’s suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin, and makes the ideal first step in a double cleanse routine with Nourishing Cleansing Milk or Pure Gel Cleanser.

The Benefits:

  • Melts into an oil to help remove makeup, sunscreen, and daily buildup.
  • Helps deeply cleanse while leaving behind a soft, non-stripped, and noticeably moisturized finish.
  • Rich, luxurious formula is the ideal first step in a double cleanse routine.
  • Features a subtle, spa-like scent of Geranium, Balsam, and Bergamot Mint.


Full Size Cleansing Balm: 40 g | 1.4 oz

Use AM and PM daily. Warm a dime-size amount in your hands until it melts into oil. Apply to dry skin and massage in circular motions. Wet fingertips and continue to massage, then remove with a warm, damp washcloth or cotton round. Follow with Balancing Mist and Moisture Rich Balm.

TIP: Focus on areas that need additional cleansing, like the eye area, to remove makeup.

Key Ingredients:

  • Safflower Seed Oil: Helps nourish dry skin for a soft, supple finish.
  • Avocado Oil: Loaded with vitamin E and omega-3 fatty acids to help support the skin barrier.
  • Sesame Oil: Gently lifts away makeup, sunscreen, and daily buildup while leaving behind a layer of moisture.
