🌿 A gentle cleansing milk for dry and dehydrated skin — formulated to dissolve makeup, sebum, and surface debris without disrupting the skin barrier or altering its pH.

Meadowfoam Seed Oil anchors the formula's lipophilic makeup-dissolving action, while Allantoin and Chamomile smooth post-cleanse texture and reduce the feeling of sensitivity on contact. The oil-in-water emulsion leaves skin soft and receptive — not tight — making it an effective first step before masks, serums, or machine-assisted treatments like Brushing or Vacuuming services. For clients arriving with full-coverage or waterproof makeup, a dry-skin first pass maximizes dissolution before removal. The barrier-intact finish also creates a natural retail moment: clean, receptive skin is the ideal entry point for a Christine Valmy nourishing treatment upsell.

A strong fit for esthetic practices serving dry and sensitive-skin clients who need a reliable pre-treatment cleanse without compromise.

• Effective Makeup and Impurity Removal: Meadowfoam Seed Oil and the emollient lipid base dissolve lipophilic makeup, sebum, and pollution-associated surface debris during massage, lifting impurities cleanly from the skin without requiring aggressive rubbing.
• Comfortable, Non-Stripping Cleanse: The milky emulsion format and neutral pH preserve the skin's acid mantle during cleansing, leaving dry and dehydrated skin feeling soft and comfortable rather than tight or irritated after removal.
• Soothing Botanical Calm: Chamomile Extract and Arnica Flower Extract provide calming botanical contact during the cleansing step, helping reduce the feeling of skin sensitivity and leaving dry skin feeling settled and comfortable.
• Smoother Post-Cleanse Skin Texture: Allantoin works at the skin surface to smooth rough or flaking texture associated with dryness, contributing to the soft, revived feel after each use.
• Surface Debris Release: Phytic Acid's chelating action helps loosen the adhesion between dead cells, residual makeup, and surface impurities, supporting a more thorough cleanse with each application.
• Treatment-Ready Skin: By removing impurities without disrupting the skin barrier or altering pH, this cleanser leaves the skin surface clean and receptive, optimizing the absorption of serums, masks, and nourishing treatment products applied in subsequent service steps.

Limnanthes Alba (Meadowfoam) Seed Oil - known as Meadowfoam Seed Oil: A lightweight botanical oil with an exceptionally stable fatty acid profile that readily dissolves lipophilic impurities — including makeup, sebum, and pollution-associated particles — from the skin surface during the massage phase of cleansing, lifting debris without stripping the skin's natural moisture barrier.

Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract - known as Chamomile Extract: A widely recognized botanical soothing agent positioned in the functional-concentration zone of this formula, delivering calming and skin-comfort properties during contact — particularly beneficial for the dry and sensitive skin types this cleanser targets.

Allantoin: A well-established trace-effective skin-conditioning agent that works at the skin surface to smooth the texture of rough or flaking dry skin, supporting the comfortable, non-tight after-feel this cleanser is formulated to deliver.

Arnica Montana (Arnica) Flower Extract - known as Arnica Flower Extract: A botanical extract traditionally associated with calming and soothing skin comfort, included as part of the formula's dry-skin botanical complex and explicitly named by the brand alongside Peach Kernel Oil for its calming contribution during the cleansing process.

Phytic Acid: A naturally derived chelating and mild surface-exfoliating agent that helps break down the adhesion between dead skin cells, residual makeup, and surface debris — supporting the cleanser's stated benefit of loosening the bond between cells, dirt, and makeup on the skin's surface.

1. Dispense approximately 1 teaspoon (5 mL) of the cleansing milk onto clean fingertips or into the palm.
2. Apply the product to the client's dry or dampened face using gentle circular massage movements, covering the entire face including the jaw, chin, and forehead.
3. Continue massaging for 30–60 seconds to allow the emollient base and Meadowfoam Seed Oil to dissolve surface makeup, sebum, and impurities.
4. Using a clean cotton pad with upward movements, gently remove the cleanser along with the lifted debris, working from the neck upward toward the forehead.
5. Inspect the cotton pad after each pass; repeat the application and removal process with fresh cotton pads until the cotton pad shows no visible soil or pigment.
6. Proceed immediately to the next service step — such as toning, masking, or machine-assisted treatment (Brushing or Vacuuming machine) — without rinsing, or follow with a light water rinse if preferred before applying treatment products.

Pre-Treatment and Machine Service Integration

This cleanser is specifically indicated as a prep layer before machine-assisted facial treatments such as Brushing or Vacuuming machines. Apply a full layer of the cleanser and leave it on the skin surface prior to the machine pass — the emollient film improves glide and protects the skin barrier during mechanical exfoliation. For clients with heavily applied full-coverage makeup or waterproof formulas, a first pass with a dry application (no water) on dry skin maximizes the oil-on-oil makeup dissolution before the cotton-pad removal step. This cleanser's non-stripping formula makes it an effective upsell paired with a complementary Christine Valmy nourishing post-cleanse treatment — the clean, barrier-intact skin surface after this step is the ideal moment to introduce clients to the brand's serum or moisturizer range.
