FAQ
short, straight answers to help you pick, use, and love your products
Boho Cleansing Balm is Step 1: Cleanse in The Bohemia Skin System. This buttery balm uses organic caprylic/capric triglyceride plus sunflower, olive, sweet almond, and castor seed oils to melt makeup, sunscreen, and excess oil. Sea buckthorn fruit oil, manuka honey, comfrey, yarrow, glycerin, and vitamin E help keep your barrier calm and cushioned not tight or stripped.
Because it rinses clean with no waxy film, your next steps (Kay’s Glow Serum and Infinite Aura Moisturizer) can layer smoothly and absorb more effectively. Use it morning and night as your first cleanse.
Use it as your first cleanse, morning and/or night. Massage a small scoop onto dry skin for 30–60 seconds, including over makeup and SPF. Add a little water to emulsify, then rinse thoroughly and pat dry. Follow with Kay’s Glow Serum and Infinite Aura Moisturizer.
If you wear heavy or long-wear makeup/SPF, you can follow Boho with a gentle gel or cream cleanser. If you wear light makeup or just SPF, many customers find Boho alone gets them fully clean.
Boho cleansing balm is suitable for normal, dry, combination, oily, sensitive, and acne-prone skin. It’s designed to clear away buildup without stripping, so skin feels balanced—not slick or squeaky.
Yes. The blend of caprylic/capric triglyceride, sunflower, olive, sweet almond, and castor seed oils is designed to break down waterproof mascara, long-wear foundation, and water-resistant SPF when you massage it in and then rinse thoroughly.
For many people with sensitive or reactive skin, a fragrance-light cleansing balm that rinses clean is the easiest way to remove makeup and SPF without stinging or dryness. Boho Cleansing Balm was created for exactly that niche: a gentle, balm-to-milk cleanser that leaves skin soft, calm, and ready for the rest of your routine.
Sensitive skin
Yes. Boho Cleansing Balm was made for sensitive routines. It uses plant oils and soothing extracts instead of harsh foaming agents, so it melts makeup and SPF while keeping skin feeling calm and comfortable. Always patch test first if your skin is reactive.
The Boho cleansing balm is designed to help acne-prone skin by fully removing makeup, SPF, and excess oil without stripping. It rinses clean with water so it doesn’t sit on top of skin. As with any new product, start slowly and patch test if you’re breakout-prone.
Boho cleansing balm has a light, naturally inspired scent from its essential oil blend (including soft citrus and vanilla notes). There’s no heavy perfume cloud, but if you know your skin is sensitive to fragrance or essential oils, patch test first and adjust use to your comfort.
Deep pore cleansing
Boho cleansing balm is a rinse-off balm-to-milk formula. When you massage it in and then emulsify and rinse thoroughly, it lifts oil-soluble debris and SPF off the skin instead of sitting in pores. Used this way, it’s designed to support clearer-feeling pores, not clog them.
Boho cleansing balm helps remove the surface layer of makeup, SPF, and buildup, which is essential for congested skin. For stubborn blackheads, many people still benefit from leave-on exfoliants (like BHA) used after cleansing. Think of Boho as the deep-clean first step, not a replacement for targeted treatments.
If you wear heavy or water-resistant makeup/SPF, you may enjoy following Boho cleansing balm with a gentle gel or cream cleanser. If your routine is lighter, Boho alone is often enough. The test: after rinsing, your skin should feel clean, soft, and comfortable, never filmy or slick.
Makeup remover
Yes. Boho cleansing balm is formulated with cleansing oils that break down waterproof mascara and long-wear eye makeup when massaged gently over closed eyes, then rinsed away. If you’re wearing very stubborn formulas, you can follow with a damp cloth to lift away the last traces.
No. Boho cleansing balm is made to emulsify with water and rinse clean, leaving skin soft and cushioned but not waxy or greasy. If you ever feel a film, you likely used too much product or didn’t add enough water before rinsing.
You can. Many customers love Boho cleansing balm as their everyday first cleanse at night and as a gentle morning cleanse when skin feels congested or SPF-heavy. Adjust to your skin and schedule, once a day at night is a great starting point.
