River Ritual Oil Cleansing Balm

Infused into a stable oil matrix to maintain compatibility with the skin barrier.

Piñon (Pinus edulis) Extract
Resinous desert botanical traditionally associated with clarifying properties.

Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia)
Used in low concentration for calming and aromatic balance.

Botanicals are present to support skin function.

Why Double Cleanse?

Throughout the day, skin accumulates:

• Sunscreen
  
• Makeup
  
• Sebum oxidation
  
• Environmental pollutants
  
• Lipid-soluble debris
  

A water-based cleanser alone often cannot fully remove oil based buildup. Residue left behind can contribute to congestion and barrier imbalance.

River Ritual dissolves what water cleansers cannot.

Following with a gentle second cleanse ensures the skin is fully clean without stripping or coating.

For optimal results, follow with Meadowsweet Cleanser to complete the double cleanse.

Usage & Instructions

Evening use recommended.

1. Apply to dry skin.
   
2. Massage thoroughly for 30–60 seconds to dissolve sunscreen, makeup, and debris.
   
3. Add warm water to emulsify.
   
4. Rinse completely.
   
5. Follow immediately with Meadowsweet Cleanser as your second cleanse.
   

Double cleansing supports clearer pores, improved barrier balance, and better absorption of treatment products.

If not wearing sunscreen or makeup, River Ritual may be used alone — but for full daily removal, double cleansing is preferred.

River Ritual is structured for effective emulsification and complete rinse-off.

Lipid Dissolution System

Apricot Kernel Oil + Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
Stable, lightweight oils that dissolve sunscreen, makeup, and oxidized sebum.

Castor Oil
High in ricinoleic acid and able to penetrate deeply. Enhances binding to debris and supports deeper cleansing.

Tocopherol (Vitamin E)
Protects the integrity of the oil system.

This is a true emulsifying cleansing balm, designed to rinse completely before your second cleanse.
