About the product
- For A Healthy, Glowing Radiance – Start your skincare routine with a clean slate using Glow Recipe’s papaya enzyme cleansing balm. Its balm-to-milky texture smooths skin while melting makeup, oils and SPF away. Natural-Enzymatic Papaya works as a gentle exfoliant, creating a baby-soft canvas and bouncy, clean skin.
- Smooth Like Sorbet – Papaya Enzymes give your skin the boost of brightness it deserves, while also soothing and smoothing texture. This facial cleansing balm is formulated with antioxidant-rich ingredients such as blueberry extract, calming, and fighting free radical damage.
- Real Skin, Real Results – Filled with fatty acids and vitamin E, apricot kernel oil deeply nourishes and soothes skin. Camellia Oil keeps skin hydrated without weighing it down. Based on a consumer study of 32 subjects, 100% agreed their skin felt softer and smoother.
- How Do You Dew? – Using our 1:1 Method, gently massage the makeup cleansing balm onto dry skin for 1 full minute, focusing on areas with the most makeup. Add water to emulsify while continuously massaging. Splash with lukewarm water to reveal a youthful, refreshed glow.
- Formulated Differently – We strive in creating a sensorial, enjoyable self-care experience, taking it day by day, skin by skin. Our Make Up Remover Balm is made without Parabens, Mineral Oil, Sulfates, Pthalates, Dry Alcohols and Synthetic Dyes. Best of all, our entire line of skin care products are Vegan & Cruelty-Free.
Reveal smooth, glowing skin from the start of your routine and effortlessly dissolve makeup, dirt, and oil with the PEG-free Papaya Sorbet Enzyme Cleansing Balm. This balm-to-milky oil harnesses naturally-enzymatic, actively smoothing papaya to satisfy and gently resurface skin, creating the ultimate baby-soft canvas for skincare and makeup. The mix of exfoliating and calming papaya seed oil, papaya enzymes, papaya extract, and antioxidant-packed blueberry, leaves skin clean, bouncy, and glowing.
Inspired by the K-Beauty method of double cleansing, or 1:1 Method, which focuses on massaging the products into the skin for 1 full minute for each cleansing step. This ensures that the multiple layers of skin care, makeup, dirt, and oils are all thoroughly removed. Using the 1:1 Method is the key in achieving hydrated, bouncy, clean skin.

We choose to formulate with fragrance, when needed, to create a sensorial, enjoyable skincare experience. However, some formulas don’t need added fragrance as they already have naturally fragrant extracts. Naturally fragrant extracts are plant-based extracts that inherently possess a potent, pleasant scent.
The polyethylene in Papaya is a safe, cosmetic-grade polymer in liquid form and is different from the polyethylene that makes up common, everyday household plastics or microbeads.

Pro Tip:
Massage the formula onto dry skin with dry hands for up to 30 seconds. Add water to emulsify and massage it again for up to 30 seconds for the most effective makeup removal. To double cleanse, use 1-2 pumps of Blueberry Bounce Gentle Cleanser (sold separately) and gently massage onto skin for up to 1 minute, and rinse thoroughly with water. Follow with your usual skincare routine.
How do the different forms of papaya benefit skin?
The 3 forms of Papaya (Papaya Enzymes, Papaya Seed Oil, Papaya Extract) are all rich in Vitamin A, C, E, and fatty acids, but each form has different concentrations. They all help to smooth, brighten, moisturize, and soothe skin but the oil has higher concentrations of fatty acids while the enzyme actively smooths.
How does the formula effectively remove makeup without PEGs?
PEGs (Polyethylene Glycol) are used as effective ingredients for makeup removal and can cause sensitivity when consistently used, especially for sensitive skin. Since face + eyes are such delicate skin, we chose to formulate without any PEGs. Instead, we used Sorbitan Oleate, a solubilizer extracted from olive, and other oils that work together to effectively remove the makeup.
Since it exfoliates, is it safe for everyday (and 2x a day) use?
Yes, it is safe. The formula has many soothing ingredients, papaya enzymes are a gentle smoothing ingredient, and it is tested to be safe for sensitive skin and eyes. Tests results TBD before launch.
What is the optimal environment for this cleanser?
The formula should be in a dry, cool environment. Always close the cap to keep fresh. Do not keep the formula in the shower as this is a damp, wet environment. Avoid getting water into the jar as this can alter the texture.
Do I use this on dry skin or damp skin? Will it remove makeup the same either way?
Apply to dry skin and massage into the skin to stimulate circulation and to allow the natural oils in the formula to latch on to dirt and grime. If used in the shower, please make sure skin is dry when applying.
Why is there polyethylene in the formula?
The polyethylene in Papaya is a safe, cosmetic-grade polymer in liquid form and is different from the polyethylene that makes up common, everyday household plastics or microbeads.
