Mount Lai Warming Bamboo Charcoal Cleansing Balm

A warming cleansing balm designed to transform your face and scalp cleansing ritual. The Mount Lai Warming Bamboo Charcoal Cleansing Balm melts into the skin to help lift away makeup, excess oil, buildup, and impurities without leaving the skin feeling stripped.

Inspired by Traditional Chinese Medicine and formulated with bamboo-derived actives, botanical oils, bamboo charcoal, and adaptogenic plant extracts, this balm warms on contact and emulsifies into a milky wash with water. It rinses cleanly to leave the skin feeling refreshed, comfortable, and balanced.

Available at Loshen & Crem in Edmonton and online across Canada, it is ideal for anyone looking to elevate their cleansing ritual with a purifying balm that can also be used as part of a scalp care routine.
