Struggling with clogged pores, stubborn blackheads, and the greasy film of daily sunscreen and makeup? This gentle, plant-based cleansing oil is your first step to clear, comfortable skin. It deeply melts away oil-based impurities without the harsh stripping that can make skin feel tight and irritated. Perfect for all skin types, including sensitive and acne-prone, it rinses away cleanly to leave your face feeling soft, hydrated, and refreshed.

1. [THIS PRODUCT] — See "How to Use" for amount. Massage onto a DRY face to dissolve makeup/sunscreen, then add water to emulsify and rinse.
2. Water-Based Cleanser — Wash your emulsified face to remove any remaining residue.
3. Moisturiser (PM) — Seal in hydration.

Note: Already own a similar step? Finish that first to avoid waste (substitute, don’t stack).

Minimalist (3 steps):

1. [THIS PRODUCT] (Oil Cleanser) →
2. Water-Based Cleanser →
3. Moisturiser (to lock in hydration)

Optional: Add a hydrating toner or a targeted serum before your moisturiser if your skin needs extra care for dryness, dark spots, or texture.

Texture rule: Thinnest → thickest. Oil cleansers are always the first step on a dry face.

Daily Use — PM Only:

• Amount: 2-3 pumps.
• Apply to: A completely dry face, including neck if you applied sunscreen there.
• Method:
  1. Gently massage the oil onto your dry skin for 30-60 seconds. Focus on areas with heavy makeup or congestion like the nose and chin. You'll feel makeup and impurities dissolving.
  2. Add a small amount of lukewarm water to your hands and massage your face again. The oil will turn into a milky emulsion.
  3. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water until no residue remains.
  4. Follow immediately with a water-based (foaming or gel) cleanser for a complete double cleanse.
• Frequency: Use every evening to remove sunscreen, makeup, and daily grime.

If-This / Then-That:

• Very oily T-zone? This is perfect for you. Oil cleansing helps dissolve excess sebum more effectively than many water-based cleansers alone.
• Waterproof Makeup? This oil is designed to melt even stubborn waterproof mascara and foundation. Massage gently over the eye area with eyes closed.
• Sensitive/reactive? This formula is clinically tested to be non-irritating and is generally well-tolerated.

Safety: Avoid direct contact with eyes. If the product enters your eyes, rinse immediately with water. Do not apply to broken or irritated skin. Stop if a burning rash occurs.

• Daily: Use this cleansing oil every PM as the first step of your routine. It is gentle enough for daily use and necessary to properly remove sunscreen and makeup.

Mauritius note: In our hot and humid climate, daily sunscreen is essential. This cleansing oil is your best tool to ensure it's fully removed each night, preventing the clogged pores that humidity can worsen.

• Immediate: Skin feels clean, soft, and comfortable. All traces of makeup, sunscreen, and surface oil are removed without any tight, "squeaky clean" feeling.
• 2–4 weeks: With consistent nightly use, you may notice a reduction in the appearance of blackheads and fewer clogged pores. Skin texture feels smoother as impurities are effectively cleared away.
• 4–8+ weeks: Pores appear clearer and less congested. The overall health of your skin improves, as a clean canvas allows your other skincare products (serums, moisturisers) to absorb and work more effectively.

• Why use an emulsifying oil, not a harsh scrub? For clogged pores and blackheads, it's tempting to use gritty physical scrubs. However, these can create micro-tears in the skin, damage your skin barrier, and worsen inflammation. An emulsifying cleansing oil is a safer, more effective alternative. It works on the principle that "oil dissolves oil," gently melting sebum, sunscreen, and makeup from within the pores without abrasive force.
• Why double cleanse, not just use a makeup wipe? Makeup wipes often smear dirt, oil, and makeup across the face without truly removing it. They can also contain harsh alcohols and fragrances that strip the skin. A proper double cleanse, starting with this oil, ensures all impurities are thoroughly dissolved and washed away, leaving a genuinely clean base for the rest of your skincare.

• Works with: As a rinse-off cleanser, this product is compatible with virtually all other skincare ingredients and products. It prepares your skin for subsequent steps.
• Must-Pair: For a complete and effective cleanse (the "double cleanse" method), it is essential to follow this oil cleanser with a water-based cleanser (e.g., a foam, gel, or cream cleanser). This second step removes any remaining oil residue and water-based impurities like sweat and dirt.
• Avoid on [Area]: Keep out of the immediate eye-opening. While it removes eye makeup, ensure eyes are closed tightly during use and rinse the area thoroughly to prevent temporary blurry vision.

• Oily Skin: Excellent. Follows the "oil dissolves oil" principle, effectively breaking down excess sebum and oil-based impurities without stripping the skin, which can prevent rebound oiliness.
• Dry Skin: Excellent. Gently cleanses without removing the skin's natural lipids, leaving it feeling soft and hydrated, not tight or stripped.
• Combination Skin: Excellent. It effectively de-congests oily areas like the T-zone while remaining gentle and hydrating on drier areas like the cheeks.
• Sensitive Skin: Very good. Clinically tested to be non-irritating and formulated to be gentle. As with any new product, a patch test is always recommended.
• Acne-Prone Skin: Very good. It is non-comedogenic, meaning it's formulated not to clog pores. Thoroughly removing pore-clogging impurities like sunscreen and makeup is a crucial step in managing acne.

• Blackhead & Whiteheads: Helps to dissolve hardened sebum and keratin plugs within pores.
• Clogged Pores: Deeply cleanses oil-based impurities that lead to congestion.
• Makeup & Sunscreen Removal: Effectively melts away even waterproof makeup and water-resistant sunscreens.
• Dullness: By providing a truly clean canvas, it helps skin appear brighter and allows other products to work better.
• Skin Texture: Regular use helps smooth skin texture by keeping pores clear of debris.

Who should use this?

This cleansing oil is suitable for all skin types, especially those looking for an effective way to remove makeup, sunscreen, and manage blackheads without causing irritation.

Who should use with caution?

Individuals with known allergies to any of the botanical extracts or essential oil components (like Linalool) should perform a patch test before full use.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding:

Contains essential oils. While the concentration is likely low, there is insufficient published data on the safety of some botanical extracts during pregnancy. We recommend consulting with your doctor before use.

Patch Test Protocol:

1. Apply a small, pea-sized amount of the oil to a clean, dry patch of skin on your jawline or behind your ear.
2. Massage it in as you would on your face, emulsify with a little water, and rinse.
3. Wait 24 hours to observe for any signs of redness, itching, or irritation.
4. If no reaction occurs, the product is likely safe for you to use. Discontinue use if any irritation develops.

• Texture & Finish: A lightweight, fluid oil that spreads easily on the skin. When water is added, it emulsifies into a light, milky liquid that rinses off completely, leaving no greasy or heavy residue. The skin is left feeling soft, clean, and hydrated.
• Scent: A very subtle, natural, slightly herbal, and rice-like scent from its botanical ingredients.
• pH: As an anhydrous (water-free) oil-based product, pH is not applicable.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: Contains several ingredients, including Ethylhexyl Palmitate and various plant oils, that may pose a risk for those with fungal acne. Individual responses vary, and a patch test is highly advised if you are prone to Malassezia folliculitis.
• Comedogenicity: The brand states the product is clinically tested to be non-comedogenic. However, it contains Ethylhexyl Palmitate, which has a variable comedogenic rating. Individual responses vary.

• Issue: My vision gets blurry after using it.
  • Fix: This happens when oil gets into the eyes. Ensure your eyes are closed tightly when massaging over the eye area and be extra thorough when rinsing. The blurriness is temporary and harmless, caused by the oil film on your eyeball.
• Issue: My skin doesn't feel completely clean after rinsing.
  • Fix: This is normal! An oil cleanser's job is to dissolve oil-based impurities. For a complete clean, you must follow up with a water-based cleanser (like a foam or gel) to wash everything away. This two-step process is called "double cleansing."
• Issue: The oil isn't turning milky when I add water.
  • Fix: Make sure you are applying the oil to a completely DRY face with DRY hands first. Only after you have massaged the oil in should you introduce a small amount of water to emulsify.

This cleansing oil is exceptionally well-suited for the hot and humid climate of Mauritius. Here’s why:

• Effective Sunscreen Removal: It effortlessly dissolves the water-resistant, high-SPF sunscreens that are essential for daily protection in our strong tropical sun, preventing clogged pores.
• Controls Oil & Sweat: In our humid weather, skin produces more sebum and sweat. This oil provides a deep cleanse to remove the daily build-up, leaving skin feeling fresh, not sticky.
• Prevents Dehydration from AC: If you spend time in air-conditioning, your skin can become dehydrated. This oil cleanses without stripping, helping to maintain your skin's crucial moisture barrier.

"Compared to other cleansing oils, this product doesn't feel too heavy but still manages to rid my face of sunscreen and makeup gently and effectively... I've noticed that I don't break out as much using this oil, which is great."

"[It] emulsifies quickly and leaves no greasy residue. [It] increases hydration by 45.6% immediately after use... [and] keeps skin hydrated for up to 24 hours."

Fair Caveat: While many praise its gentle nature, some users on Reddit with extremely oily skin mention that they prefer a cleanser that gives a more "squeaky clean" feel. This oil is designed to leave the skin's moisture barrier intact, so it's important to follow up with a water-based cleanser to feel completely refreshed.
