Kate Porter, founder of [Harborist](https://harborist.co.uk/), spent 14 years as an artist in the film industry, helping to create Oscar winning visual effects for Hollywood & British films. In 2015, she started her own journey to create a line after being frustrated by lines that claimed they were green, but didn’t go far enough in addressing possible triggers for the reactive skin common in her family. [Harborist](https://harborist.co.uk/) was born to baby your skin big time, and it’s very different from traditional “sensitive skin” lines you might find in the drugstore.
For me, the biggest trigger for not just irritation but also break outs … is an overly harsh or heavy cleanser. I’m always looking for that just-right balance of deep cleaning without stripping, and moisturizing without pore-clogging. I also love-love-love oil cleansers but they can be a bit much for my acne prone skin. Enter the Balm-Gel Cleanser by Harborist - a concentrated gel oil that lifts away impurities using ecocert certified sugar esters to dissolve makeup without the need for soap surfactants … Avocado, jojoba and camellia oils moisturize, but the gel transforms to a milk to rinse clean, with none of the heavy after feel of an oil cleanser. There’s no fragrance and no common allergens, so it’s perfect for all skin types including very sensitive.
The packaging is awesome but due to a print issue, you can get it on sale right now (the product is the same inside)! So if you’ve been looking for a new cleanser, maybe this is a sign.
