Natio Cleansing Milk Review: Aromatherapy Silky Soft vs Calm Delicate Care
Natio Cleansing Milk Series: Why I Tried the Aromatherapy Silky Soft Next
If you’ve seen my previous review of [the Natio Calm Delicate Care Cleansing Milk], you’ll know I’m always on the hunt for gentle, budget-friendly cleansers. Since it was on sale, I decided to pick up the Aromatherapy Silky Soft version to see how it compares.
As someone who keeps makeup light, I usually skip the separate eye and lip remover. My go-to routine is a simple double-cleanse: starting with a cleansing milk or lotion, followed by a foam cleanser.
Texture Comparison: Natio Silky Soft vs. Calm Delicate Care
The first thing I noticed is the texture. Compared to the Delicate Care version, the Silky Soft Cleanser has a noticeably thicker and richer consistency.
- Application: It’s the perfect middle ground—not too runny, yet not overly heavy. It spreads beautifully and, true to its name, leaves a silky, soft finish without any sticky residue.
- The "Disappearing" Issue: Unfortunately, however, it shares the same issue as the first product. After massaging for about 30–40 seconds, the lotion starts to dry up and absorb into the skin. While the instructions say to wipe it off with a cloth, there’s often very little left to remove.
๐ My Concern: Since this is a cleanser, not skincare, I’m still a bit sceptical about makeup residue being "absorbed" rather than wiped away.

About the product: Nation Silky Soft Cleansing Milk
Natio Silky Soft Ingredients Analysis: Best for Sensitive & Dry Skin?
The Silky Soft version uses Cetearyl Glucoside and Polysorbate 60. These are non-ionic, ultra-mild surfactants. You won’t find any aggressive SLS or SLES here.
- The Verdict: Great for dry skin, but it won't tackle heavy waterproof mascara. If you're wearing a full face of glam, definitely use a dedicated makeup remover first.
Fragrance & pH Level: Essential Oils vs. Fragrance-Free Options
Unlike the fragrance-free Delicate Care version, it contains Ylang Ylang, Lavender, and Lemon essential oils.
- The Experience: It has a lovely, prominent floral scent.
- Caution: If you have highly reactive skin, do a patch test first. Even though the surfactants are mild, essential oils can sometimes sting the eyes.
 |
| The pH test result shows a pH level close to 6, which is slightly acidic and ideal for a cleansing product. |
Final Verdict: Which Natio Cleansing Milk Is Best for You?
Both are great budget-friendly cleansers, but they both tend to vanish into the skin while you massage. So, it really just comes down to your skin type and whether you like scents. Which one should you pick?
- Choose Silky Soft if: You want a thicker, creamier feel and love a relaxing floral scent.
- Choose Calm Delicate Care if: Your skin is sensitive, you hate fragrances, and you want the weightless feel.
