Gentle formula for sensitive skin
Local brand E’lioe’s Aleppo Soap with 25% Laurel Berry Oil is specially formulated for those with irritation-prone skin.
Specially handcrafted using the same artisanal slow-cooking and refining methods pioneered more than 3,500 years ago, it is made with olive oil, a powerful moisturising antioxidant, and laurel berry oil, renowned for its soothing, antimicrobial, and anti-fungal properties.
Use it daily on your face, body and hair to nourish, gently cleanse and remove impurities from your face, body, and hair.
Hydration and brightening
The Biobalance Hello Clean 3-in-1 Cleansing Balm is a gentle cleanser that transforms from a sherbet-like balm into a silky oil upon application.
It offers a range of treatments, including pore minimising, nourishment, hydration and brightening.
This innovative formulation effectively removes waterproof makeup, sunscreen and all impurities in just one step, cleansing without stripping or drying the skin, leaving it feeling hydrated and soft.
Using the spatula included, scoop a pea-sized amount and gently massage it onto dry skin in circular motions with your fingertips to dissolve makeup and residue. Add water and continue massaging as it transforms into a silky soap before rinsing thoroughly.
Lightweight formula

A lightweight daily cream cleanser that gently removes surface debris while brightening dull skin with vitamin C, it is suitable for all skin types including sensitive, dry and blemish-prone skin.
