A pore-focused cleansing balm with a grinder-style dispenser — twist clockwise to shave off a fresh portion each use, no fingers in the jar.

The formula is built around Sodium Guaiazulene Sulfonate — a blue azulene compound derived from chamomile that gives Dr. Althea products their signature calming and anti-inflammatory properties. Fragrance-free. 50ml.

• Guaiazulene — The deep blue chamomile-derived compound behind Dr. Althea's signature color, known for settling redness and irritation.
• Green Tea Extract — Helps manage excess sebum through the evening, which is what makes this work for oily and combination skin.
• Jojoba Oil — Closely resembles skin's own sebum, so it dissolves oil without leaving a greasy finish.
• Rice Bran Oil — Brings vitamin E and ferulic acid, antioxidants that support a brighter look over time.
• No fingers in the jar, no mess in a travel bag — The twist mechanism dispenses a measured amount and seals shut after, which keeps the balm clean through months of use and makes it one of the few cleansing balms that travels without a plastic bag around it.
• Takes off sunscreen and long-wear makeup in one pass — Solid in the tube, the balm melts to an oil on dry skin and turns milky when water is added, then rinses away with no film. Dr. Althea's testing reports 99% pore cleansing after use.
• No tight, stripped feeling afterward — Skin comes out soft rather than squeaky, with no rush to get moisturizer on.
