skincare for you

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.

love the cleansing oil!

Gorgeous scent and cleans beautifully without a greasy feeling.

High quality, amazing results, and supporting a small business with values

WOW

I bought this for the Deep Moisture Cleansing Balm, Active Hydration Vitamin C+ Antioxidant Serum, Calming Force Clear Skin Serum, and Precious Oils Active Infusion. I actually bought full size bottles of both serums and the oil in addition to the trial kit because I had so much faith I would love these products. The other products I couldn’t test due to essential oils. I have not been disappointed. I started using the products during the time of the month when my skin tends to be irritated, inflamed, and breaking out due to hormones. I don’t even recognize my skin. The few spot that did pop up have been small and have gone away in a few days with the help of the serums. My skin has not been irritated or inflamed at all. I really think the calming force skin serum is working wonders. Also, I am really enjoying the vitamin c serum. The mix of actives is insanely good (in both serums actually) and I have not experienced any irritation. I tend to have good luck with the vitamin c derivative used. It’s one of the few my skin tolerates. The only product I tried that I didn’t like was the deep moisture cleansing balm. I liked everything except that it doesn’t emulsify in water. I had to use a towel to remove it and it still felt like it was on my skin. If it emulsified and washed away easily, I would definitely buy the full size. I’ve been using them everyday for almost two weeks not and the amount of product in the picture is what I still have left. I use two drops of each product and rosewater face mist from Cocokind between each layer. My skin has been so hydrated and happy :) p.s. I switched products because my previous ones were causing me to breakout around my hairline. The breakouts went away within a week of switching to Activist.

Aromatherapy magic

I absolutely love the smell of this moisturizer! I look forward to cleaning my face each morning and night and have already seen a difference in my dark spots. Previously, anything oil based made me break out and thankfully all the products from Activist have only been healing for my skin.

I’m honestly shocked at how much I love oils

I have mature sensitive skin and have been using the full Activist skincare line for about a month now, and love it. I thought I would have issues using oils, but no! No sensitivities! Just velvety smooth skin! 51 years old and wearing no make up. Woohoo
