ZO Skin Health Balancing Cleansing Emulsion

This cleanser contains no retinoids, salicylic acid or other ingredients typically avoided during pregnancy. The gentle, fragrance-free formula focuses on barrier support and soothing ingredients like Oat Kernel Extract and Bisabolol. However, as with any skincare product, we recommend consulting your healthcare provider or midwife before use during pregnancy or whilst breastfeeding.

With twice-daily use, a 200ml bottle typically lasts 2-3 months depending on how much product you use per application. A small amount goes a long way with this concentrated formula.

No, this is a non-foaming cleanser. The sugar-derived surfactants provide thorough cleansing without creating lather, which is gentler on the skin barrier and ideal for sensitive or compromised skin.

This cleanser is designed for immediate post-treatment use. Its barrier-supporting formula helps protect vulnerable skin whilst providing a thorough yet comfortable cleanse. Always follow your skincare professional's specific aftercare instructions.

The emulsion effectively dissolves most makeup including mascara. For very stubborn waterproof formulas, you may find a dedicated eye makeup remover or using this as part of a double-cleanse routine gives the best results.

Yes, this cleanser has been awarded the National Eczema Association Seal of Acceptance, confirming it meets strict standards for gentle, non-irritating skincare. The fragrance-free, dye-free and sulphate-free formula is specifically designed to calm and soothe reactive skin.

For daily use or light makeup, this cleanser works beautifully on its own. For heavy makeup or stubborn sunscreen, ZO recommends using it as a pre-cleanse followed by a water-soluble cleanser such as the Gentle Cleanser, Exfoliating Cleanser or Hydrating Cleanser for the most thorough results.

The cleanser starts as a creamy gel that melts on contact with your skin's warmth, dissolving makeup, sunscreen and impurities. When you add water, it transforms into a lightweight milky emulsion that rinses away completely without leaving any residue or tight feeling.

Yes, the ZO Balancing Cleansing Emulsion is specifically formulated for post-treatment and sensitised skin. Its gentle, non-foaming formula supports the skin barrier rather than compromising it, making it ideal for use after chemical peels, laser treatments and microneedling. The National Eczema Association Seal of Acceptance confirms its suitability for reactive complexions.
