- Warm the cleansing oil in your hands
- Apply it on your dry face
- Massage for 1 minute to break down all your makeup, including the oil and dirt in your pores
- Optional but ideal : allow the oil to stay on your skin for 1minute so that it can penetrate deeply and work its magic.
- Rinse with warm water, with your hands or with a cloth. The cleansing oil turns into milk on contact with water and rinses off easily.
Why a cleansing oil rather than a foaming cleanser?
It’s simple chemistry: only oil can dissolve oil.
A cleansing oil therefore dissolves the most stubborn makeup, but also excess sebum, which is full of impurities accumulated in the pores (pollution, perspiration). The skin is therefore perfectly clean and cherished, while rubbing the skin with foaming products twice a day strips the epidermis.
Safflower, the perfect choice for a cleansing oil
Restructuring and restorative, Safflower vegetable oil preserves the elasticity of the skin. Rich in omega-6, it provides the fatty acids and vitamins the skin needs to stay supple and retain hydration. It will therefore have an anti-ageing action by fighting against dehydration and damage.

Vitamin E is essential for your skin
It helps to keep it healthy and free from blemishes. Vitamin E is also a powerful antioxidant. Antioxidants protect your skin from the harmful effects of free radicals. They reduce inflammation and damage from environmental pollutants, UV rays from the sun, and smoke from cigarettes and pollution.
Vitamin E is also a natural preservative, which means that it helps to keep skincare products fresh and free from bacteria that can cause infection.
