Cleansing Oil

from $14.00
Size:

A cleansing oil that genuinely rinses off, leaving skin remarkably soft and smooth. Nothing feels tight or stripped. There is no sticky residue, no second cleanse, and no question about whether your skin is actually clean.

How to use

There are two ways that work well — pick whatever fits your routine:

Method 1 — Direct massage: Apply 1–2 pumps directly to dry or slightly damp skin. Massage for several seconds, then wet your hands and continue massaging — the oil will turn into a milky emulsion. Wipe away with a warm, damp cloth.

Method 2 — Pre-emulsified: Pump into your palm, add a small amount of warm water, and rub your hands together until it turns slightly milky. Massage into skin, adding water as needed for slip. Wipe away with a warm, damp cloth.

A soft washcloth or a warm, damp cleansing towel works well for both methods. Gentle enough for use around the eye area, but avoid getting it directly in your eye — it contains essential oils.

Key ingredients

  • Jojoba, camellia, and safflower oils for gentle, effective cleansing

  • Olive-derived emulsifier that lets the oil lift away with water instead of sitting on skin

  • Sea buckthorn and argan for nourishment that doesn't leave a film

  • Tea tree and frankincense for purifying botanical support

  • Cleansing oil was the product that drew me deeper into skin care formulating, and at first it didn't make sense to me — clean skin with oil? But I tried a few, and liked how soft my face felt after, but didn't love the greasiness left behind. It felt strange to layer other products onto skin that was clean but still slick. Is this cleansing, or is this a face oil?

    I came to using a cleansing oil from the wipe-and-toner world - a tea tree and witch hazel wipe, with a satisfying visible-on-the-cotton-pad kind of clean. I wasn't ready to give that feeling up. Sometimes I still want that kind of clean, but for day-to-day it is too harsh, so I built a cleansing oil that bridges the two: thorough enough to feel like real cleansing, gentle enough to leave softness instead of stripping, and emulsified just enough to actually rinse clean with warm water.

    It's a single-step cleanser for day or evening, and it removes daily build up and grime, oil-based skincare, sunscreen, and makeup. The tea tree gives it the "really get in there" feel I appreciate from the more astringent-based routine; sea buckthorn and argan keep it from feeling harsh. The emulsifier is the part that earns its place: a small amount of olive-derived emulsifier lets the oil lift away with water instead of staying on your skin.

  • A clean, herbaceous botanical scent — tea tree forward, with frankincense softening the edges. Reads as fresh and slightly purifying rather than floral or sweet. Since this is a rinse off product, the choice of oils is based on their properties rather than their scent.

  • A note on the formulation

    Most cleansing oils are just blends of oils — pleasant to use, but they leave a film that either requires a second cleanse or sits on your skin under your serums. This one is built differently. The emulsifiers (Di-PPG-2 Myreth-10 Adipate and Olive Oil PEG-7 Esters) make up a small fraction of the formula, but they're what turn a film-leaving cleanser into one that genuinely rinses. You get the benefits of oil cleansing — softness, gentleness, no stripping — without the trade-off of feeling like you can't quite tell if your skin is clean.

    • A small amount goes a long way; 1–2 pumps is a full face application

    • Removes dirt, oil-based skincare, sunscreen, and makeup

    • Gentle enough for the eye area; avoid direct contact with eyes

    • Store in a cool place out of direct sunlight
