Sonia Roselli Skincare
Water Balm Gel-Cream Moisturizer & Skin Prep
$ 65.00
Water Balm is a skin prep balm manufactured in Japan by Sonia Roselli Beauty. It combines Ceramide 3, a full amino acid complex, hydrolyzed silk, fermented rice extract, and Rosa Damascena Flower Water in a silicone-based texture system.
Water Balm is fragrance-free and formulated for all skin types, including rosacea-prone and reactive skin. It is designed to replace toner, serum, moisturizer, primer, and eye cream in a single step.
Water Balm addresses foundation pilling, cakey texture by midday, dry patches showing through makeup, and makeup sitting on top of skin instead of blending into it. It contains no niacinamide, no exfoliating acids, and no retinoids.
Size is 60 g / 2.11 fl. oz. Price is $65.00. A 60-second absorption window is recommended before applying makeup.
