This cleansing oil uses a very short ingredient list built around medium‑spreading emollient esters (like ethylhexyl stearate and cetyl ethylhexanoate) that give a silky slip and effectively dissolve oil‑soluble debris such as sunscreen, foundation, and sebum while feeling lighter than traditional heavy cleansing oils. These emollients are combined with an efficient emulsifier system, so when water is added the oil turns into a milky emulsion and rinses off easily, helping to minimize pore congestion and leftover film. Centella asiatica extract, included at a functional level, supplies soothing triterpenoids such as madecassic acid and asiaticoside that support barrier repair, calm redness, and assist with healing for sensitized or blemish‑prone skin, aligning this cleanser with the rest of the Centella line’s calming focus.
The formula also incorporates a blend of six plant‑derived oils, typically including sunflower seed oil, olive fruit oil, and jojoba seed oil, which are rich in beneficial fatty acids and natural lipids that help soften the skin and reinforce its moisture barrier while cleansing. Jojoba oil has a sebum‑like structure that makes it highly skin‑compatible and relatively low risk for clogging, while sunflower and olive oils provide linoleic and oleic acids plus antioxidant components such as vitamin E–type tocopherols. Light aromatic oils like bergamot, geranium, and damask rose give a subtle botanical scent and add mild skin‑conditioning properties, though those with fragrance sensitivities may wish to patch test first. The texture is notably watery and light rather than thick and sticky, spreading quickly over dry skin and emulsifying cleanly on contact with water, which makes it approachable even for people new to oil cleansing or those with combination and oily skin worried about residue. Used as the first step of a double‑cleanse routine, it helps remove long‑wear makeup and sunscreen thoroughly while leaving the skin comfortable, smooth, and ready for a gentle second cleanser.

Apply a few pumps of cleansing oil onto dry face with dry hands. Gently massage in circular motions to dissolve makeup and debris. Add a little water and continue massaging to create a light and milky emulsion. Rinse off completely with lukewarm water.
