How This Cleansing Oil Works
This oil-based cleanser uses the oil cleansing method to dissolve oil-based impurities that water-based cleansers cannot remove alone.

Massage Phase – Work into skin to lift impurities and exfoliate
-

This method removes stubborn makeup, including waterproof mascara and long-wear foundation, without harsh rubbing.

-
Waterproof and long-wear makeup
-
Sunscreen (including water-resistant SPF)
-
Excess sebum and oil

Daily dirt and pollutants

Antioxidant protection against environmental damage

The Botanical Oil Blend
The formula contains four nourishing plant oils that protect skin during cleansing:
Jojoba Seed Oil — Similar to the skin's natural sebum, it balances oil production and deeply moisturises without clogging pores.
Olive Fruit Oil — Rich in vitamins A and E, it nourishes and protects the skin barrier while providing antioxidant benefits.
Evening Primrose Oil — Contains essential fatty acids that soothe and strengthen the skin, reducing sensitivity.
Macadamia Oil — Absorbs quickly and softens skin, leaving it smooth and conditioned.
These oils ensure that cleansing does not strip the skin's natural moisture.
