Pros
–Smells good
–Removes all makeup easily

–Cruelty free
–Don’t need a lot of product
–No parabens
–No phthalates

–From my research, which was not overly extensive, you can only get this at Ulta or the Shea Moisture website
Final Verdict
I’ve been a long time fan of the Clinique Cleansing Balm and one from The Body Shop, but I don’t love the price tag that come with them. This is the first affordable cleansing balm I’ve seen. It’s just as effective as the aforementioned, more affordable, and I love the mission of Shea Moisture. I love this product and I highly recommend it. I’m almost out and I may try something new this time, but I would (and may end up) repurchase this.
