This week I'm obsessed with... Indeed Labs Watermelon Melting Balm!

Indeed Labs Watermelon Melting Balm - 100ml - $24.99 - an oil-based cleansing balm that melts onto the skin and creates a gentle lather when mixed with water to break down and  dissolve makeup, dirt and oils

without stripping or irritating

skin’s natural barrier, all while nourishing dry and dehydrated skin.

The formula is chock-full of antioxidant-rich ingredients including:

refined hemp seed oil - due to its rich concentration of fatty acids and antioxidants, it provides deep nourishment to skin, leaving it healthy and glowing;

watermelon seed oil - a concentrated source of antioxidants, vitamin A and vitamin E, it helps to condition and brighten skin;

bisabolol - a natural, powerful remedy for very sensitive and easily inflamed or irritated skin, it helps to address common concerns like premature aging, lack of moisture, sebum oxidation, sensitivity and skin discoloration; and

ethyl panthenol - also known as vitamin B5, it acts as a humectant to condition dehydrated skin - with continued use, skin will appear plump and healthy.

Ideal for all skin types including sensitive and acne-prone, it works to improve skin tone while leaving skin replenished, moisturized, and brightened.

I'm a fan of the packaging - most cleansing balms come in a tub which seems unhygienic to me - but this one is in a tube - making it less messy and a lot more portable! Also keep in mind that as a balm, the formula contains no water and therefore the texture of this product changes in different temperatures - so try and store it in a warm room to make it easier to use.

Simply warm up in dry hands and massage onto a dry face. Take your time with this step, and luxuriate in a little extra “me time” while you massage! Add a few drops of warm water and watch as the product starts to lather and makeup melts away right before your eyes!

To use - warm up in dry hands and apply onto dry skin and massage to dissolve makeup and dirt. Add warm water to lather, and continue to massage for 1 minute. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry. May also be removed with a soft, damp cloth.

Available now exclusively at Shoppers Drug Mart stores across Canada and online at beauty.shoppersdrugmart.ca and indeed.com.
