Look forward to washing your face

Oil cleansing is the perfect fit for all skin types, even oily and breakout-prone skin, because it gently removes excess oil and impurities without over-drying your skin or disturbing your lipid barrier. We dreamed up Botanical Cleansing Oil to elevate the chore of washing your face to a spa-like experience.

With its light, slippy texture, it glides effortlessly over your skin to gently cleanse, while delighting your senses with its bright botanical aroma featuring geranium, pink grapefruit and lavender essential oils. You’ll find it so easy to use and even easier to fall in love with.

How to use

It's essential to apply Botanical Cleansing Oil before skin is wet. Starting with dry hands and face, dispense a few pumps of cleanser into your cupped fingers and massage gently over the skin, focusing on areas that need extra attention.

The oils in the formula will bind to makeup, sunscreen and impurities during this stage. Once they are fully dissolved in the oils, add warm water to emulsify and continue to massage.

Lastly, rinse using a soft, wet cloth for a thorough cleanse.
