Interview with Daan Sins: the birth of the Night Elixir Multi-Use Balm

Daan Sins explains why our Night Elixir Multi-Use Balm will transform your evening routine

Our Night Elixir collection is growing! With the launch of the Night Elixir Multi-Use Balm, Huygens Paris offers a new way to approach the evening ritual: simpler, more sensorial, more effective. We asked Daan Sins, our founder, a few questions to better understand his vision, the formula, and above all the intention behind this 3-in-1 product already acclaimed by estheticians.

Why create a multi-use balm?

Daan Sins:
For years, I've been hearing the same thing: “removing makeup is a chore.” Too many products, too many steps, too much tightness. We wanted to create a product that truly simplifies life, without compromising on effectiveness or pleasure.
The Night Elixir Multi-Use Balm answers exactly that: one single product, three key functions, and a texture that turns a step that is key to skin health into a true moment of well-being.

How is this balm different from a classic makeup remover?

D. S.:
We wanted to bring together the best of a cleansing oil and the convenience of micellar water.
The balm melts onto the skin, captures makeup — even waterproof — then transforms into a milk on contact with water. The result: ultra-simple rinsing, with no rubbing, no redness, no residue.

It's a smart, intuitive formula, designed to reconcile women with makeup removal. It is suitable for the face, eyes, and lips.

Why position it as a 3-in-1?

D. S.:
Our customers want to save time, but also to reduce the number of products in their bathroom. We formulated this balm so it can:

This is not a marketing claim: every use has been tested, validated, and optimized to deliver maximum effectiveness.

Tell us about sensoriality. It's a very important subject at Huygens Paris…

D. S.:
Yes — essential, even. Beauty is not only about results; it's also a moment for yourself.
We crafted a melting, silky texture, infused with our signature Night Elixir scent. You'll find the soothing notes of lavender and rosewood that our customers love so much. The care begins before it even touches the skin: it calms, it releases, it prepares you for rest.

And on the formula side, what are the key actives?

D. S:
We selected natural, organic, high-performance ingredients:

The formula is certified organic, vegan, non-comedogenic, and suitable for all skin types.

Who is the Night Elixir Multi-Use Balm for?

D. S:
The Night Elixir Multi-Use Balm is for all women looking to simplify their evening routine. For those who can no longer stand makeup removers that sting, cotton pads that irritate, products that are hard to rinse off... For those seeking a more conscious, more natural kind of beauty, without giving up effectiveness.

The balm can also be used as an overnight mask: why this choice?

D. S.:
We wanted the skin to benefit from the virtues of these precious oils all night long. Applied in a thin layer, the balm becomes a nourishing cocoon: in the morning, skin is soothed, plumped, and radiant. It's the use that brings the most comfort to dry, stressed, or dehydrated skin — and our customers seem to love it!

And what makes it ideal for massage?

D. S.:
Its texture. It glides just right — not too much, not too little.
The estheticians who tested it in their treatment rooms love its massage power, especially for the face, neck, and drainage movements.
For face yoga enthusiasts, it offers perfect comfort to practice the movements without pulling on the skin. What's more, its scent creates a true cocoon of well-being, while you enjoy the aromatherapeutic benefits of the essential oils. A real plus for a massage, or a moment just for yourself.

What is, for you, the greatest strength of this product?

D. S.:
Its simplicity. I deeply believe an effective routine doesn't need to be complicated. This balm lets you pause, treat yourself to a moment of well-being of your own, and rediscover the pleasure of an evening ritual — while caring for your skin in the most natural, intuitive way there is.

One last word for those still hesitating?

D. S.:
Try it as a makeup remover. That's the first use… and usually the moment everyone falls in love with the product. Especially double-cleansing devotees.
If you love melting textures, relaxing scents, and soft skin after rinsing, this balm will probably become your evening essential.
