✨ A vegan, natural cleansing milk for dry and sensitive skin — Christine Valmy's Dermafluide dissolves makeup, sebum, and environmental pollutants in one step without disrupting the skin's lipid barrier.

Meadowfoam Seed Oil anchors the oil-in-water emulsion, breaking down even heavy or long-wear makeup while its fatty acid profile mirrors the skin's own barrier — so the cleanse lifts impurities without triggering the tightness that gel and foam formulas leave behind. A multi-botanical soothing complex — Chamomile, Linden, Lavender, and Marshmallow Root — visibly calms reactive or environmentally stressed skin on contact, and Allantoin conditions the surface post-removal so skin feels smooth and ready for treatment products. The pH-balanced formulation pairs naturally with an acid-mantle toner, making it a clean handoff into your full evening protocol.

It also earns its place at the retail counter: clients who watch full makeup lift effortlessly on a cotton pad in-service are primed to take the home-care duo with them.

A strong fit for facial practices serving sensitive, dry, or dehydrated clients who need a first-cleanse that doesn't compromise skin comfort.

• Thorough Makeup and Impurity Removal: Meadowfoam Seed Oil emulsifies and lifts lipophilic makeup, sunscreen residue, sebum, and environmental pollutants from the skin surface in a single cleansing step, leaving the face genuinely clean without the need for a harsh secondary cleanser.
• Calming Comfort for Sensitive Skin: A synergistic trio of Lavender, Linden, and Marshmallow extracts — reinforced by Chamomile — visibly soothes skin that appears reactive or sensitized by environmental stress, making this cleanser suitable for daily use on even the most delicate skin.
• Non-Stripping, Moisture-Preserving Cleanse: The oil-in-water emulsion base removes impurities without disrupting the skin's natural lipid barrier, preventing the tightness and dryness often associated with gel or foam cleansers — particularly important for dry and dehydrated skin types.
• Smooth Post-Cleanse Skin Texture: Allantoin conditions the skin surface during the cleansing step, leaving the complexion feeling noticeably smoother and more comfortable immediately after removal — enhancing the feel of clean skin and the receptiveness to subsequent serums and night creams.
• Optimized Skin Prep for Treatment Products: By removing surface impurities and residual makeup in a pH-balanced formulation, the cleanser ensures the skin surface is clean and at the correct acid-mantle pH for maximum absorption of the toner, serum, or night cream applied in subsequent steps.

Limnanthes Alba (Meadowfoam) Seed Oil - known as Meadowfoam Seed Oil: A lightweight, highly stable plant oil that dissolves makeup, sebum, and environmental pollutants from the skin surface; its fatty acid profile closely mirrors the skin's own lipid barrier, making it effective at loosening impurities without stripping natural moisture.

Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract - known as Chamomile Extract: A standardized botanical rich in bisabolol and chamazulene that visibly calms reactive, sensitive skin; it is positioned high in the formula where it can deliver a meaningful soothing effect on contact, making it ideal for sensitive, dry, or environmentally stressed skin types.

Althaea Officinalis (Marshmallow) Root Extract - known as Marshmallow Root Extract: A mucilage-rich botanical that forms a gentle, film-like layer on the skin surface, helping to soothe temporary discomfort and maintain moisture during and after the cleansing step, particularly beneficial for sensitive or dehydrated skin.

Tilia Cordata (Linden) Flower Extract - known as Linden Flower Extract: A botanical extract from linden blossoms known for its visibly calming and skin-comfort properties; contributes to the formula's multi-botanical soothing system specifically formulated for sensitive and reactive skin types.

Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Extract - known as Lavender Extract: A calming botanical extract that reinforces the formula's soothing character and contributes to the sensory comfort of the cleansing experience, particularly relevant for sensitive or environmentally stressed skin.

Allantoin: A skin-conditioning active widely used at low concentrations to promote a visibly smoother, more comfortable skin surface; in this cleansing milk it contributes to the post-cleanse feel of softness and reduced sensitivity, complementing the multi-botanical soothing system.

1. Dispense approximately ¼ teaspoon (1.25 mL) of Dermafluide onto a moistened cotton pad.
2. Using gentle upward strokes, apply the product across the client's face to dissolve and lift makeup, sebum, and surface impurities.
3. Continue wiping with fresh passes of the cotton pad, replacing the pad as needed, until the cotton lifts clean with no visible residue.
4. Follow immediately with Christine Valmy 5.5 pH Toner applied to a fresh cotton pad to remove any remaining emulsion residue and restore the skin's acid mantle.
5. Rinse the skin thoroughly with lukewarm water after toning.
6. Complete the protocol by applying the client's recommended night cream appropriate to their skin type.

Pro tips for sensitive skin cleansing services

For clients with reactive or highly sensitized skin, pre-dampen the cotton pad generously before dispensing the cleanser — a wetter pad reduces friction and the amount of mechanical pressure needed to lift product. This is also an ideal double-cleanse first step for clients who wear long-wear or waterproof makeup: use Dermafluide as the oil-phase first cleanse to break down heavy product, then follow with a gentle second cleanse if needed before toning.

This cleansing step is a natural retail conversion moment: after demonstrating how gently the product removes even full makeup without stripping, recommend the home-care version and pair it with the Christine Valmy toner as a take-home duo — emphasizing that the pH-balancing toner step is what primes the skin for maximum absorption of the night cream they are already using.
