French skincare brand La Rosée recently expanded its Canadian lineup with the launch of its first Melting Cleansing Balm, a rich, nourishing cleanser designed to remove makeup and daily buildup while supporting skin hydration.
Launched last month, the balm is formulated to dissolve waterproof makeup, sunscreen and impurities without leaving a greasy residue. Its formula features organic cherry oil and upcycled tomato extract, ingredients selected for their antioxidant properties and ability to support a brighter-looking complexion. Made with 100% naturally derived ingredients, the vegan, non-comedogenic cleanser also leaves behind a moisturizing layer to help keep skin feeling soft and comfortable.
Priced at $30 CAD, with refills available for $28 CAD, the balm features recycled cardboard packaging designed to use 71% less plastic. It is available through La Rosée's Canadian website and Shoppers Drug Mart.
For beauty brands, introducing refillable formats into everyday essentials like cleansers creates an opportunity to encourage repeat purchases while making lower-waste routines more accessible through mainstream retail channels.
