The cleanse sets up everything after it

Most skin problems start at the sink. Strip the barrier twice a day and nothing you put on afterward can work. Cleansing Balm cleans without taking anything your skin needs.

Reviewers most often mention: the warming sensation, soft calm skin, reduced redness, and that it removes everything in one step.

Cleansing Balm
Why you need it

Why your skin needs this

Almost every cleanser is built to foam, and foam comes from sulfates and detergents that strip the lipids your barrier is made of. That tight, squeaky feeling is the sound of your skin losing its defenses, and for sensitive or rosacea-prone skin it is the first step of a flare.

Cleansing Balm does not foam. Shea and sweet almond oil dissolve makeup, sunscreen and pollution on contact. Chamomile, rosa centifolia and CBD calm as you massage. Add water and it emulsifies to a milk that rinses clean. Your skin comes out soft, calm and ready to absorb what comes next, which is why so many reviewers call it the step they look forward to.

Ingredients that address the symptom only

Fragrance, preservatives and silicones for shelf-life and slip

Points of difference

Regenerate. Restore. Reset.

HAOMA was built on one idea: most skin is not old, it is stressed. Anxiety, dehydration, mineral depletion and environmental stressors age skin faster than the calendar does. So every formula treats the cause and the symptom at once.

Spiritus Vitae™Our proprietary complex of 16 clinically studied botanicals and actives, in every formula, so the base of each product is doing as much work as its headline ingredient.
Full-spectrum CBDDosed, disclosed and paired with adaptogens like skullcap and ginseng to calm the stress response that ages skin biologically, not just chronologically.
The Forbidden ListNo SLS/SLES, parabens, phthalates, petroleum, artificial colors or fragrances, GMOs, cyclic silicones or contaminants. If it is on the list, it is not in the jar.
Root-cause formulationWe treat what actually ages skin: stress, dehydration, mineral depletion and environmental damage, not just the wrinkle it leaves behind.
One purchase, one treeEvery order plants a tree with Trees.org. More than 10,500 planted so far.
Nothing to landfill100% recyclable packaging and free TerraCycle recycling for every empty. Reusable tins and jars by design.

Extraordinary cleanser

“With my extremely sensitive and easily irritated skin, it has been very difficult to find something that doesn't strip my skin, cause it to breakout or that burns. This is my holy grail!”

How HAOMA is different

Science-backed. Nature-rooted.

HAOMA started with a question most skincare brands skip: why does skin age faster than it should? The answer is stress, in all its forms: anxiety, dehydration, mineral depletion and the environment. So we built three collections to answer it. Cannabidiol, with full-spectrum CBD and adaptogens to calm the stress response. Earth, with minerals to replace what modern life depletes. Mycelium, with mushroom actives to repair and protect.

Every formula carries our Spiritus Vitae™ complex, sixteen botanicals and actives with published studies behind them, and every formula obeys the Forbidden List. We are vegan and cruelty-free, our packaging is fully recyclable with free TerraCycle returns, and every single purchase plants a tree.

Frequently asked questions

Does it remove waterproof makeup and SPF?

Yes. Balm cleansers are the most effective way to dissolve long-wear makeup and mineral sunscreen. Reviewers use it as their only cleanser.

Do I need to double cleanse?

Not usually. If you wear heavy makeup, follow with Cleansing Gel for a second pass.

Is there a travel size?

A travel size is included in the Transformation Set.

Is HAOMA vegan and cruelty-free?

Yes. Every HAOMA formula is vegan and never tested on animals.

What is the Forbidden List?

The list of ingredients we refuse to use: SLS/SLES, parabens, phthalates, petroleum, artificial colors, contaminants, GMOs, toxins, artificial fragrances and cyclic silicones.

Will CBD skincare make me feel anything?

No. Topical CBD does not enter the bloodstream in a way that produces any psychoactive effect. It works locally on the skin to calm and support the barrier.

What is your shipping and return policy?

Free 2-day shipping on orders over $50 in the US, and a 30-day return window. Subscribe & Save takes 15% off every delivery.

What happens to my empties?

All HAOMA packaging is 100% recyclable, and we offer free recycling through TerraCycle for anything your local program will not take.
