if there’s one skincare step that sets the tone for everything else in your routine, it’s cleansing. yet for many of us, one cleanse doesn’t always feel enough.
enter philosophy’s purity one-step meltaway balm, a new addition to the iconic purity franchise designed to gently but effectively remove long‑wear makeup, waterproof mascara, spf, dirt, and daily pollutants—without stripping skin or disrupting its barrier.
double cleansing is a process in which a rich balm is massaged into the skin to break down makeup, spf, pollutants, etc., before your second cleanse sweeps all that away, leaving a blank canvas for treatments and creams.
think of it like this, instead of scrubbing harder or cleansing twice with the same product, double cleansing works smarter:
your first cleanse: melts away makeup, spf, oil, and pollution your second cleanse: gently cleans skin, refreshes, and removes any remaining residue
the result? skin that feels truly clean, never tight—and prepped for the rest of your routine.
our new cleansing balm was created for people who want a deep cleanse without the heaviness that can come with traditional balms. formulated with meadowfoam seed oil, vitamin e, and glycerin, the balm helps support your skin’s moisture barrier while making makeup removal feel effortless and comforting.
after your one-step meltaway cleansing balm, follow with purity one-step facial cleanser —a true classic for a reason. the gentle formula removes any remaining impurities while helping skin feel balanced, refreshed, and comfortable. there’s a reason it’s the #1 hydrating facial cleanser in america*!
together, the balm and cleanser work as a seamless system: one to dissolve and remove, the other to cleanse and refresh.
step 1: melt it away apply a small amount of one-step meltaway cleansing balm to dry skin. massage gently to dissolve makeup and sunscreen. add a little water to emulsify, then rinse thoroughly.
step 2: cleanse and refresh apply purity one-step facial cleanser to damp skin. massage gently and rinse. pat dry.
(that’s it! no complicated techniques, no extra tools required. phew!)
you can use this formula alone, but i love double cleansing! use the cleansing balm on heavy-makeup days to remove long-wearing/waterproof makeup, followed by our iconic purity one-step for a gentle but thorough cleanse.
our cleansing balm contains emulsifiers and surfactants that aid in dissolving oil-containing formulas (e.g., makeup) in water. simply put, these ingredients make things slipperier and easier to remove.
yes, and we have clinical results to prove it!
yes, but i find it most useful to take the day off at night.
