Our ultra-minimal and nourishing cleansing oil for sensitive and problem skin is the perfect way to start your day with a gentle, deeply nourishing cleanse, or really take the day off - without disturbing your skin's barrier.
For once we would have space to write a ton about all the good stuff that's in it, but the Oil Cleanser contains just two ingredients: nourishing canola oil and a plant-based, gentle surfactant. So we'll just leave you with this: it really cleanses everything, even SPF and waterproof makeup, does not sting eyes and is easy to rinse off, without any oily residue. Skin is left feeling clean and soft.
Hot tip: pair with our Milk Cleanser or Gel Cleanser for the ultimate sensitive and problem skin double cleanse!
Formulated for sensitive & problem skin. Fragrance-free. No added preservatives. Vegan & natural ingredients. Developed in our own Helsinki lab & made in Finland.

Why it works for sensitive & problem skin
Why it works for sensitive & problem skin
- We've gone ultra-minimal in terms of ingredients - only2 ingredients go into the Oil Cleanser.
- Fragrance-free and formulated without alcohol and added preservatives (as it doesn't contain any water).
- Formulated with a gentle, non-ionic and skin-friendly surfactant, derived from sunflower seed oil.
- The base oil in the Oil Cleanser is canola oil, which is an excellent all-round oil for most skin types, especially for drier and eczema prone skins.
- A cleansing oil is a great choice for both drier and oilier, even clogged, skin. You may have heard the chemistry-related phrase 'like dissolves like', which means that oil cleanses skin by dissolving excess sebum (i.e. oil). However, oil won't wash off with just water, so adding an efficient but gentle surfactant is imperative, to wash away the gunk you've dissolved.

Emollient and skin conditioning. Sustainably produced, deodorized and purified Swedish canola oil (from rapeseed oil) gently dissolves makeup and dirt. Canola oil is commonly used in cosmetics and is well-tolerated, skin wise. It is slightly higher in oleic acid (at around 60%), with linoleic and alpha-linolenic acids at a total of just over 30%, making it a good all-around oil for most, and especially for drier and eczema prone skins.
Emulsifier/surfactant. A gentle, non-ionic and skin-friendly emulsifier and surfactant derived from sunflower seed oil. An emulsifier in general enables the mixing of water and oil, and in our Oil Cleanser this one specifically allows for the oil to be washed off your skin whilst also providing cleansing action.
