A silky, antioxidant-rich oil cleanser that melts away the day - sunscreen, makeup (even waterproof), and daily impurities, without stripping your skin. Unlike foaming formulas that leave you tight and dry, this nourishing oil leaves skin feeling soft, supple, and calm. Every cleanse becomes a moment of restoration: it balances oil production, supports the skin barrier, and sets the tone for a healthy, hydrated routine.

Supports healthy oil balance and moisture retention
Ideal for dry, reactive, or hormonal skin

How To Use

How much cleansing oil should I use?

Use 8–10 pumps of the Cleansing Oil and apply it to dry hands, then gently massage onto your dry face and neck to ensure smooth, effective cleansing without pulling at the skin.

How long should I massage the cleansing oil into my skin?

You can massage the cleansing oil in for as long as you like—Kari often enjoys a longer, leisurely massage, whereas Lisa typically massages for a couple of minutes, though she considers 10 minutes ideal if time allows.

Will cleansing oil make my skin breakout?

No, the Cleansing Oil won’t clog pores or cause breakouts. It’s made with plant-based oils that gently cleanse while keeping skin balanced and hydrated—even for sensitive or breakout-prone skin. Many users report that it works well without triggering blemishes.

Will the cleansing oil take off all my makeup, even mascara?

Yes, Kari Gran’s Essential Cleansing Oil removes all makeup, including eye makeup and stubborn mascara, and works on the eye area without the need for separate wipes or removers. It will remove eyelash extensions, so please do not use near lashes if you have extensions.

Is cleansing oil good for oil skin?

Yes, using an oil-based cleanser helps balance oily skin. It gently dissolves excess oil and buildup without stripping your skin, which can lead to even more oil production.
