| Verdict | A classic European cleansing milk done well — wipe-off or rinse-off, leaves no film, respects the barrier. Annemarie Börlind is one of those German naturkosmetik names you should know. | Royal Fern's Phytoactive Cleansing Balm is the brand's first-cleanse step — caprylic/capric triglyceride + sunflower + shea butter + jojoba + olive oil base, with the patented fern complex and bisabolol/allantoin/panthenol for soothing. 18-ingredient INCI, restrained for the prestige tier. €95 for the brand's most-accessible entry product. |
