Mini - Wonder Cleansing Balm

FAQS

• I’VE HEARD THAT TOPICAL COLLAGEN DOESN’T ABSORB?

  Not all collagen is created equal. Historically, collagen products have been made up of large, heavy molecules that just sit on skin. Powered by a bio-available peptide chain for up to 90% penetration*, the low (and guaranteed) molecular weight of the advanced biotech vegan collagen we use at FACEGYM means it absorbs better and works much faster.                                            

  
  *Proven in-vitro penetration rate of up to 90% into stratum corneum.

• WHAT IS VEGAN COLLAGEN?

  The biotech vegan collagen used in Wonder Cleansing Balm is derived from yeast, using patented high-density fermentation to yield a powerful ingredient called sh-Polypeptide-123, which is nearly identical in sequence to human type III collagen – types I and III are the most abundant in the human skin. Our biotech collagen has a more consistent and defined structure than traditional animal collagen, and is halal accredited. The ingredient is also 200x better in promoting vital cell growth compared with traditional marine collagen – 0.005% of this biotech collagen is equivalent to 1% marine collagen.

• WHAT DOES BIOTECH MEAN?

  Biotech beauty uses biotechnology to develop lab-generated ingredients, which you would typically find in nature. As well as the vegan collagen, the ylang-ylang stem cells in Wonder Cleansing Balm are biotech too, which means we’ve taken a specific part of the flower and replicated it to create an effective natural active. The advantages of using biotech are huge in terms of resource and sustainability, as well as stability.  

• WHY IS THE BALM YELLOW?

  The natural golden hue is mostly given by buriti oil, which is rich in carotene.

• IS THE BALM FRAGRANCED?

  The rich balm is fragranced with the luxurious scent of ylang ylang and is suitable for sensitive skin. 

• DOES IT REMOVE MAKE-UP?

  Wonder Cleansing Balm effectively removes make-up, including eye make-up.

• IS IT SUITABLE FOR SENSITIVE SKIN?

  Yes, Wonder Cleansing Balm has been clinically tested on sensitive skin via a patch test under dermatological control on 30 participants. 

• DO I NEED TO RINSE MY FACE AFTER USING IT?

  Yes, Wonder Cleansing Balm is a rinse-off product. As you add more water, the texture transforms from a dessert-like balm into an oil, before rinsing off as a softening milk. Use the muslin cloth provided to remove the product effectively. 

• MY SKIN IS OILY, IS THE BALM SUITABLE FOR ME?

  It’s a common misconception that oily skin types should avoid oils and opt for stripping formulas instead – this can do more harm than good. Nourishment is still important, so look to use Wonder Cleansing Balm a few times a week. Alternatively, if you have oily skin and double cleanse, use the balm as your first cleanse and Electro-Lite Gel Cleanser second. 

• SHOULD I USE THIS PRODUCT DAY OR NIGHT?

  You can use Wonder Cleansing Balm in the morning, evening or both. Struggle to find time for collagen-boosting facial massage? The texture of the balm provides plenty of ‘playtime’, so adding a few of our signature moves to your cleanse for just a few minutes a day will leave you with the most gorgeous, healthy-looking glow.
