None recommended. Not suitable for sensitive, reactive, or barrier-compromised skin.
The Origins Youthtopia Apple Butter Cleansing Balm highlights the gap between “natural” branding and ingredient reality. While the product may feel luxurious and perform well at removing makeup, it’s burdened by synthetic dyes, polymers, PEGs, and irritating fragrance compounds. Over time, such a formula may contribute to sensitization, barrier degradation, and cumulative toxic load.
