Pomifera Balance

Pomifera Balance: Facial Cleanser for Dry/Sensitive Skin

If your skin feels tight after cleansing—or flares up at the first hint of fragrance—your face wash may be doing too much. Pomifera Balance: Facial Cleanser – Dry/Sensitive is crafted to cleanse without compromise: no sulfates, no parabens, no fragrance, and no stripping sensation. Its minimalist, skin-friendly formula centers on Pomifera oil (from non-GMO Maclura pomifera), sunflower oil, and fermented sea kelp to wash away impurities while supporting a calm, comfortable complexion.

Made in small batches in the USA with sustainably minded packaging and cruelty-free, vegan standards, this cleanser prioritizes what sensitive skin wants—and leaves out what it doesn’t. The result: a simple, effective daily cleanse that helps maintain your skin’s moisture barrier and leaves your face feeling soft and conditioned, not squeaky or stressed.

Who it’s for

Pomifera Balance is formulated for:

• Dry or very dry skin that feels tight, flaky, or uncomfortable after washing
• Sensitive skin types that prefer fragrance-free, minimalist formulas
• Barrier-conscious routines focused on gentle cleansing and hydration support
• Makeup wearers who want a non-stripping daily cleanse (and a great first or second cleanse)
• Ingredient-conscious shoppers seeking vegan, cruelty-free, non-GMO, and sulfate-free options

Why this cleanser works

Gentle, effective cleansing starts with what you leave out—and what you thoughtfully include. Pomifera Balance avoids harsh surfactants and common irritants, then layers in skin-loving oils and fermented sea kelp to help keep the moisture barrier comfortable during and after your cleanse.

Pomifera oil brings a botanical profile rich in antioxidants and omega-6 fatty acids. Sunflower oil adds a lightweight, conditioning glide that helps dissolve daily buildup. Fermented sea kelp contributes a silky slip and skin-conditioning benefits—so your cleanse feels more like a nourishing treatment than a chore. The result is a balanced, non-stripping clean and a complexion that feels soft, never tight.

• Antioxidant-rich Pomifera oil and sunflower oil support the skin’s moisture barrier
• Vegan, cruelty-free, non-GMO, and made in the USA

How to use

1. Dispense one pump onto clean fingertips.
2. Massage onto damp face and neck for about 60 seconds in gentle, circular motions. Take your time around the nose, chin, and hairline.
3. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Pat dry—don’t rub.

Use morning and night. For heavy makeup or mineral sunscreen, try a two-step cleanse: first apply this cleanser to dry skin to break down makeup, emulsify with a splash of water, rinse, then follow with a second gentle cleanse if needed.

After cleansing, apply your hydrating toner or essence (optional), follow with a barrier-supporting moisturizer, and use SPF 30+ in the morning.

Ingredients & formula highlights

Key ingredients called out by the brand:

• Pomifera oil (from non-GMO Maclura pomifera): A botanical oil noted for its antioxidant content and omega-6 fatty acids. In a twice-daily, 8-week clinical evaluation cited by the brand, Pomifera oil improved the appearance of age spots and lines. While individual results vary, it’s a signal of a well-considered ingredient for skin comfort and radiance.
• Sunflower oil: A light, skin-friendly oil that helps dissolve impurities and makeup. It provides slip for a gentle massage while supporting a soft, clean finish.
• Fermented sea kelp: Adds conditioning benefits and helps the formula glide without tugging. Fermentation can enhance bioavailability of certain components and create a smoother sensorial profile.

What’s not inside can be just as important: this cleanser is sulfate-free, paraben-free, and fragrance-free—ideal for sensitive routines that avoid known irritant triggers.

Allergens & sensitivities

• Fragrance-free: Suitable for those avoiding fragrance-related irritation.
• Nondairy, nut-free, soy-free: Helpful for shoppers monitoring these common allergens.

Sustainability & sourcing

These details matter for eco-minded routines and those who value supply-chain transparency.

Performance you can feel

Users often describe non-stripping cleansers as leaving skin “normal” after rinsing—that is, clean but not tight, with a comfortable surface feel. The combination of Pomifera oil, sunflower oil, and fermented sea kelp helps deliver that balanced result. And with consistent use morning and night, you’re supporting the first—and arguably most important—step of your routine: a calm, clean canvas that plays well with serums, moisturizers, and SPF.

FAQs

Is Pomifera Balance suitable for reactive or redness-prone skin?

It’s formulated without fragrance, sulfates, and parabens, which many sensitive users avoid. Always patch test first to ensure compatibility with your unique skin.

Will this remove makeup and sunscreen?

Yes—massage one pump over the face for 60 seconds and rinse. For long-wear or water-resistant formulas, try a two-step cleanse with a double pass of this cleanser or pair it with a dedicated makeup remover.

Does it foam?

It’s designed to be gentle and non-stripping, so expect a soft, low-foam or lotion-like cleanse rather than a big, bubbly lather.

Can oily or combination skin use this?

Yes, but the formula is optimized for dry and sensitive types. If you’re oilier, you may still appreciate it as a first cleanse or during seasons when your skin feels more dry.

Is there added fragrance?

No. The formula is fragrance-free, which is often preferred by sensitive skin users.

What’s the clinical note about Pomifera oil?

The brand cites an 8-week, twice-daily clinical evaluation of Pomifera oil showing improvement in the appearance of age spots and lines. This speaks to the ingredient’s cosmetic benefits, though results vary.
