About JUNOCO
JUNOCO is a cruelty-free skincare company based in California that aims to celebrate real skin that has acne, texture, fine lines, wrinkles, and discoloration because they believe all skin is beautiful. They make products that are sustainable with simplified formulas because they believe you should not have to compromise the environment for healthy skin. JUNOCO currently only ships to the United States, and some of their products are also available in Ulta.
JUNOCO Clean 10 Cleansing Balm
The Clean 10 Cleansing Balm is an oil-based cleanser for all skin types that removes all makeup, including waterproof makeup, without stripping the natural oils of your skin. The cleansing balm is $14.96 for 3 ounces / 85 grams. It has only 10 ingredients, including Japanese Pearl Barley, which moisturizes the skin and brightens hyperpigmentation, as well as Vitamin E, which helps with moisturizing and aging, and Tangerines for a fresh, all-natural fragrance.
The Ingredients
The cleansing balm contains only 10 ingredients that are gentle and effective. There are no fillers with microplastics and other irritants that can damage the ecosystem.
- Ethylhexyl Palmitate
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
- Peg-20 Glyceryl Triisostearate
- Synthetic Wax
- Polysorbate 85
- Fermented Japanese Pearl Barley (Saccharomyces/Coix Lacryma-Jobi Ma-Yuen Seed Ferment Filtrate)
- Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Peel Oil
- Vitamin E (Tocopheryl Acetate)
- Water
- Butylene Glycol
My Thoughts on the JUNOCO Clean 10 Cleansing Balm
I first used the Clean 10 Cleansing Balm on my everyday makeup, which is just primer, concealer, foundation, and blush. The cleansing balm is easy to use, and I used the little spatula to scoop some of the balm out, rubbed it between my fingers, and massaged it onto my face. When I rinsed the balm off with warm water, all my makeup was removed. I then wanted to put the cleansing balm to the test, and I used it on a full face of makeup including eyeshadow, mascara, and lipstick.
The cleansing balm can be used for eye makeup, but you want to make sure you keep your eyes closed when you are using the balm. I was thrilled to see that the balm removed all of my makeup, including the mascara. Also, the balm does feel oily at first because it is an oil-based cleanser, but after I rinse the balm off, my skin feels clean and moisturized. The balm is a great alternative to makeup wipes. If you regularly wear makeup, I definitely recommend trying out the JUNOCO Clean 10 Cleansing Balm.
JUNOCO Cleansing Cookie
Along with the JUNOCO Clean 10 Cleansing Balm, I was also gifted the JUNOCO Cleansing Cookie. The cleansing cookie is $8, and it is made from cotton, which is great for sensitive skin. The cookie can be paired with the cleansing balm, and after you apply the balm to your face, the cookie can help you remove stubborn makeup, and it is gentle around the eye area. The cleansing cookie is so soft on the skin, and it does help remove makeup. Along with the Clean 10 Cleansing Balm, the Cleansing Cookie is a fantastic sustainable alternative to makeup wipes.
This is the first time I hear of this product but it sounds very promising! I can imagine that it’s also handy on summer holiday because of the compact format.
The cleansing balm is great and I did bring it with me when I visited my parents in the US! It doesn’t take up much room at all!
I’ve never heard of this brand before, but I love cleansing balms and the fact that this is cruelty free is even better.

I love that they’re cruelty-free too and their cleansing balm is great!
A cleaning cookie, I love that! It sounds like a lovely cleansing balm – I actually bought an orange vit C moisturiser recently and it smells lovely, really fresh and uplifting, so I like that Junoco put orange peel oil in this. xx
The cleansing cookie is great and I love the cleansing balm too! The moisturizer sounds nice!
This is awesome, It’s good that it helps with a lot of skin and even good for waterproof makeup.
I agree!
This is the first time I heard of Junoco. But this product sounds awesome from your review. I’ll check out if this brand is available in Malaysia. Thank you for sharing.
The cleansing balm is great and I use it every time I wear makeup to remove it! I just checked and they do ship to Malaysia!
This sounds like a must-try! I never tried anything from Junoco, but really have to give the cleansing balm a try! And also love that it has a reusable pad to use with it!
I love the cleansing balm and I definitely recommend trying it! The reusable pad is great as well!
This product sounds lovely. I used to us a balm type cleanser for many years before switching to the one I’m using now. Sounds like your skin feels amazing after using this.

It is great and yes my skin feels amazing and clean after using it!
I never heard of the brand before but I do love anything that is cruelty-free and sustainable!
I use some very colorful eyeshadow so I do see the JUNOCO Clean 10 as very useful.

I love they’re cruelty-free too! The cleansing balm would be perfect for you because it does remove eyeshadow including colorful shades!
This sounds like a great makeup remover. I wonder if they sell it in NZ? I’m not a fan of mt current cleanser…
Thanks for the recommendation!
It is a great makeup removed, and I checked and they don’t ship to NZ 😞
This product sounds incredible! I love that it only has 10 ingredients. I enjoy using balms and definitely want to try this. I also like the cleansing cookie that it comes with, I’m sure it makes removing makeup so much easier. Thank you for sharing your review!
The cleansing balm is incredible and I definitely recommend trying it! The cleansing cookie is not necessary to use with the balm, but it does make it easier!
I love cleansing balms, I usually use an Elemis cleansing balm. This sounds like a great product that is sustainable. I love the blue buffer too! Thank you for sharing.

I haven’t tried the Elemis balm. Do you like it?
I love the JUNOCO balm because it only has 10 ingredients & they’re more sustainable.
I hadn’t heard of this brand before, so you’ve introduced me to something new. It’s also good to see that they don’t have microplastics in the products, because that’s a real problem that needs to be resolved
I agree microplastics are a problem and I like that they are not adding to the problem!
I think cleansing balms are under rated! I love mine and it doubles up as a million other things too – I like that this one is cruelty free, and I love the packaging x
I agree! The cleansing balm is so easy to use plus it’s effective at removing makeup! I like that they’re cruelty-free too!
Ooo this looks and sounds amazing! I love what the brand stands for, I think it’s so important that brands try to cater for every skin rather than just certain types! I do love a lil based cleanser so I’ll for sure be checking this out. It seems reasonably priced too! Thank you so much for sharing with us lovely Xo

I definitely recommend try the cleansing balm because it really does work and it isn’t expensive either! I’ve been using it almost daily for 2 months now & I still have about half of the container left.
This is my first time hearing about this product and I’m in love with it, not going to lie! Ever since I started my less- waste journey I had been looking for a substitute for my makeup removing wipes and this cleansing balm sounds really really good! I’ll check it out. Thank you so much for reviewing it x Pen
The cleansing balm is definitely a great alternative to makeup wipes and it does effectively remove makeup! You’re welcome!
I really like the sound of this cleansing balm from Junoco, I haven’t heard of the brand before, this is a great review! x

It’s a great cleansing balm! Thank you!
I love a cleansing balm but don’t currently own one. This sounds brilliant, love that they’re Cf as well (:
It’s a great cleansing balm especially if you regularly wear makeup because it just makes any makeup melt off!
Yes I love that they’re cruelty-free too!
Such a great review!!!

Thanks!
I have not heard of this product before so it was interesting to read about it; I don’t think I’ve ever used a cleansing balm but the texture seems like it might feel quite nice. Thanks for the info!
The cleansing balm is effective and great! At first, it is more solid, but when you rub it on your fingers, it becomes oily so you can easily clean your face.
