I first mentioned Suti's Cleansing Balm in my Top 5 Organic Cleansing Balms video, but I thought it needed it's own review. Suti are one of my favourite organic skin care brands, and I love their holistic and spiritual approach to creating their products, using crystals, moon phases and reiki to infuse subtle energy to their creations. All their formulations are 100% natural, certified organic by the soil association and are handcrafted in the UK.

The Cleansing Balm
This is a luxurious cleansing balm, with granules of shea butter which melt on contact with your skin. Sometimes I have to really massage them in to get them to melt, but this is because Suti use unrefined shea butter which has a tendency to granulate, so I don't mind. The balm smells amazing, which is probably due to the lime essential oil - one of my absolute favourites due to it's uplifting and invigorating scent. On application the balm melts into a rich oil which easily removes make up and leaves your skin feeling plump, hydrated and glowing. After I use this, my skin feels like it's glowing from the inside out, and it feels so healthy and happy. However, I do have a small confession - I don't actually use this as a cleansing balm anymore! The shea butter and avocado oils are too rich for my oily/combination skin, and after a week of daily use I find I get a couple of small pimples around my forehead and nose - areas I normally keep under control. The ingredients list has so many luxurious oils that I find this works best for me as a treatment mask. I'll use it maybe once or twice a week to really hydrate and revitalise my skin and it works like a miracle. I'd recommend this balm to anyone, although I would use it according to your skin type. Drier skins will probably find this an incredible daily balm which adds instant moisture and glow to your complexion. As a treatment for oiler skin, it deep cleans your pores whilst also providing that hydration and plumpness we all love.
Price
The Suti Cleansing Balm with Organic Cotton Muslin Cloth - £28
This isn't a cheap skincare option, but is definitely worth the money in my opinion. There are cheaper balms available but I don't feel they add as much to your skin as this one does. It doesn't just cleanse, it gives you a radiant glow and is full of beautiful ingredients that nourish and protect the skin.
Have you tried Suti products? Do you have any favourites? I have my eye on their rose water as well as their face oils.

This cleansing balm is a winner, I always recommend to others, unfortunately I can no longer use it but my Sister uses it on a regular basis :-)
ReplyDeleteJust goes to show what a good product it is - when you can't use it but still recommend it! :)
DeleteHaven't tried this but it sounds lovely! Would probably be too rich for my oily skin too but sounds lovely as a treatment mask :) Love your new blog design too by the way :D x
ReplyDeleteThanks Amber! :) I'm so happy with it, Ria did an amazing job :) x
DeleteThis cleanser is in my top 5! I absolutely love the way it melts onto your skin and leaves it feeling soooooo soft! No need for moisturiser after this beauty :) great post X
ReplyDeleteI know right?! What I love more than anything about this is how amazing my skin feels after using it :) x
DeleteLooking really nice but it sounds a bit rich. The oils used in this balm doesnt seem to be very suitable to oily skins though.

Exactly, it's much better for dry to normal skin, for every day use at least :) x
