Unique features

• Vegan: A lightweight oil formula that melts makeup and SPF. It emulsifies on contact with water and rinses clean without residue.
• Barrier-friendly: Contains ceramides and plant oils that help support the skin barrier. The formula aims to cleanse while maintaining hydration and comfort.
• Botanical scent: Natural aroma from plant oils rather than synthetic fragrance. The herbal-citrus profile offers a subtle sensory finish.

Main benefits

• Pore-cleansing: Designed to lift excess sebum and impurities from pores. Regular use may help reduce visible congestion.
• Makeup removal: Effectively dissolves long-wear makeup and sunscreen. Leaves skin ready for the following water-based cleanse if desired.
• Non-greasy finish: Emulsifies into a milky texture and rinses away. Skin feels soft and balanced, not tight or oily.

Key ingredients

• Plant oils: Safflower, jojoba, moringa and sacha inchi oils provide emollience and nourishment. These oils help dissolve sebum while caring for the lipid barrier.
• Ceramide NP: A skin-identical ingredient that helps support barrier function. It helps maintain hydration through cleansing.
• Botanical extracts: Turmeric, neem, houttuynia and aloe offer soothing and antioxidant support. They contribute gentle care during cleansing.

How to use

• Dry application: Pump 2–3 doses onto dry hands and apply to a dry face. Massage gently for 30–60 seconds focusing on areas with makeup or congestion.
• Emulsify: Add a little lukewarm water to emulsify the oil into a milky texture. Continue to massage briefly to lift impurities.
• Rinse: Rinse thoroughly with water and follow with a water-based cleanser if you prefer double cleansing. Pat skin dry and continue with your routine.

How does it work?

• Lipophile action: Oil-based emollients dissolve oil-based impurities, makeup and SPF. Emulsifiers allow the product to rinse clean with water.
• Hydration support: Skin-identical lipids and humectants help reduce post-cleanse tightness. The formula balances cleansing with gentle care.
• Botanical support: Antioxidant and soothing plant extracts help comfort stressed or combination skin. Natural essential oils provide a mild purifying effect.

Directions for use

• Start dry: Apply to a dry face and massage to break down makeup and sebum. Emulsify with water and rinse thoroughly.
• Double cleanse option: Follow with a gentle water-based cleanser for a deeper clean. Suitable as the first step in morning or evening routines.
• Skin types: Ideal for combination, oily, and makeup-wearing skin seeking gentle pore care. Those with sensitive skin should patch-test if prone to essential-oil sensitivity.
