Drunk Elephant Mello Marula Cream Cleanser 60 ml — Calming, Low-Foam Face Wash with Colloidal Oatmeal & Marula Oil

Drunk Elephant Mello Marula Cream Cleanser is a calming, low-foam cream wash that gently removes water-resistant makeup, sunscreen, and everyday grime while nourishing sensitive skin.

This lightweight 60 ml (2 fl oz) cleanser blends marula oil, 1.0% colloidal oatmeal and nourishing butters into a soothing formula designed to cleanse without stripping. It was created to balance and comfort skin while removing impurities, and it earned recognition as a 2025 Allure Best of Beauty Winner. Free from essential oils, silicones, fragrance, alcohols, dyes and SLS, it follows Drunk Elephant’s skin-first approach: effective, absorbable ingredients and no unnecessary irritants.

How does Mello Marula clean without drying the skin?

The formula uses a low-lather cream base instead of harsh foaming agents, so it lifts away makeup and pollution without disrupting the skin barrier. Hydrating lipids and butters remain on the surface to help retain moisture after rinsing.

• Contains marula seed oil and shorea stenoptera butter for replenishment
• 1.0% colloidal oatmeal to soothe and reduce redness
• No SLS or drying alcohols—minimal lather, maximal gentleness

Will it remove sunscreen and water-resistant makeup?

Yes — the cream texture is formulated to break down and lift resistant makeup and broad-spectrum sunscreen gently, so you can cleanse without heavy rubbing. It’s best used with a short massage and added water to emulsify and rinse clean.

• Massaged over wet or dry skin to dissolve products
• Add water to create a milky emulsion for easier rinsing
• Rinses away without leaving a greasy residue

What calming and nourishing ingredients are included?

Mello Marula combines 1.0% colloidal oatmeal for antioxidant and redness-reducing properties with marula oil and shorea stenoptera seed butter to deliver fatty acids and lasting moisture. A vanilla fruit extract provides antioxidant support and a naturally sweet scent without added fragrance.

• 1.0% colloidal oatmeal — soothes, supports the barrier, antioxidant activity
• Marula seed oil — lightweight moisturizing oil rich in fatty acids
• Shorea stenoptera butter — intensely moisturizing emollient
• Vanilla fruit extract — antioxidant support and natural aroma

How should I incorporate it into my routine?

Use nightly or alternate with another Drunk Elephant cleanser as needed. Apply to wet or dry skin, gently massage to loosen debris, add water to lather slightly, then rinse and pat skin dry; discontinue if eye irritation occurs.

• Use in the evening to remove sunscreen and makeup
• Follow with serums and moisturizers while skin is slightly damp

This cleanser is formulated for people who want a soothing, non-foaming wash that prioritizes barrier health: ideal for those with sensitive, dry, or reactive skin, anyone who wears water-resistant sunscreen or makeup, and users seeking a fragrance- and essential-oil-free option. It’s also a good pick for shoppers who prefer clinically minded, cruelty-free skincare with crowd-pleasing texture and easy rinse-off performance.
