ZO Skin Health Balancing Cleansing Emulsion
ZO Skin Health Balancing Cleansing Emulsion is a clinically tested gel-to-milk cleanser that melts away make-up, sunscreen and impurities without stripping, calming visible redness and reactivity while supporting the skin barrier. Gentle enough for sensitised and post-procedure skin, it is the cleanser for sensitive skin that leaves even the most reactive complexion clean, soft and soothed.
The creamy gel in ZO Skin Health Balancing Cleansing Emulsion melts on contact to lift oil and impurities, then transforms into a milky emulsion when water is added and rinses clean with no residue. Sugar-derived emulsifying surfactants (sucrose laurate, stearate and palmitate) are ultra-mild and non-foaming, cleansing without disrupting the barrier; a skin-mimetic blend of light emollients conditions and supports the lipid barrier for a supple, comfortable cleanse; and bisabolol and oat kernel extract help soothe the skin and visibly calm redness. In ZO's two-week study on 24 women, 100% said it left skin feeling softer, hydrated and comfortable and did not leave skin red or irritated, while 92% said skin was thoroughly cleansed; a separate instrumental study showed a strengthened epidermal barrier for up to 8 hours after use.
