Let customers speak for us
absolutely fabulous
nothing beats this cleanser. it knocked out my breakouts within 2-3 uses, and leaves my skin so soft. i fell in love with this product from the first time i used it. the smell is not particularly appealing, however i appreciate that there are no additives & feel that that is part of what makes this product superior.
My favorite product ever!
I finally found the best moisturizer, sunblock, and primer, all in one! I have very sensitive skin, as well as a lot of skin allergies. This is the only product that I can use.
Finally a Product for Sensitive Skin
The face wash is the perfect consistency and does a great job leaving my face refreshed. I like the face moisturizer with sun block and no unnecessary chemicals, especially living in Southern California.
Face Cleanser
Best mineral based sunscreen I have tried to date
Feels light and smooth on skin and rubs in clear. Huge upgrade from other mineral sunscreens I have tried which feel heavy, chalky, and leave me looking ghostly.

Thorough and gentle
My normal skin felt clean but not dry.
This product does not pill like other mineral sunscreens and doesn't leave a white cast! I have medium or olive skin tone, and my old EWG rated green moisturizer with SPF left my face white for a while before absorbing. My normal skin feels moisturized too.
Mineral sunscreen moisturizer + primer
I love the consistency of the mineral spf. It leaves my skin smooth, and it's super light. You can't see or feel the sunblock!

A great gift to send to those you love
Gifted this soothing balm to a friend currently going through a chemo treatment. Sometimes it's hard to know all a loved one needs during a time like this, and it was amazing learning about Balmere and being able to provide something that was not only practical, but luxurious, and so acutely helpful for her during this time. She received the balm, sunscreen, and cleanser and has said nothing but wonderful things! Can't recommend this high enough
Never using another SPF ever!
Not only does it not leave a chalky after-look, and is it in the coolest bottle that is super efficient and easy, but it also SUPER SAFE. So many other products have terrible ingredients, are bad for the environment, or I don't feel good using as someone who has endometriosis and super sensitive skin. So grateful for Balmere!
The best mineral sunscreen out there!
I've been on the hunt for the perfect mineral sunscreen for forever, and Balmere is it. It's so smooth, not at all heavy or greasy like some other formulas I've tried.
It disappears into my skin and it gives me a matte finish that's the perfect primer for my makeup. And no signs of any irritation or breakouts, which is always a concern I have. 10/10 recommend, this is so far the best mineral sunscreen I've used!
Gets my face clean without drying it out
Because I’ve been in active chemo for 7 years now, I was hesitant to buy a cleanser since they usually dry my skin out - I am on a treatment that is particularly hard on my skin. I was really surprised that my skin didn’t feel tight and dried out after using the cleanser. I almost forgot to put in moisturizer, which is amazing because with any other cleanser my face feels like it’s going to crack within minutes of drying it off. So nice to be able to actually use something besides water! The Balmere cleanser almost felt as though it was moisturizing my skin.
Hydration!
Love my Balmere face wash! You don’t get the dry and tight feeling after use… It leaves my skin feeling refreshed and hydrated.

Our Solution

A Stanford Story
For over 10 years, I suffered from a painful medical condition. I underwent aggressive treatment, which led to sensitive skin and minimal skin care options, particularly as a person of color. As a practicing Oncologist, I saw my patients suffer painful skin symptoms with few effective options.
While attending Stanford Business School, teachers and global leaders supported my vision to develop products for thrivers' unique needs. Many had experienced it themselves.
I founded Balmere to develop high quality, clinically tested products that enable you to live fully for years to come.
