We formulated this cleanser to be as soothing as possible for super sensitive skin. We combined our top calming oils with Cromollient to help this wash off. There is less Cromollient in this blend than in our other cleansers to be more gentle to sensitive skin. This cleanser is excellent for removing makeup, grime, and overall daily grunge.
Method of Application Dispense about a dime to nickel size amount of cleanser into the palm of your hand, drip warm/hot water into your palm then rub hands together to emulsify. Pat into skin, wipe off gently with a wet, warm cotton or bamboo clean washcloth. Do not massage into your skin. Only cleanse in the A.M. if necessary.
Shelf Life and Storage Information for Our Products and Ingredients
Finished Products - generally don't need to be refrigerated as they are preserved, but you can refrigerate them to extend their shelf life. The shelf life for most products is 9-12 months. Vitamin C Serum(s) and VitaResurface products should continually be refrigerated to extend their shelf life. Sample Sizes - do have a shorter shelf life (generally 3-6 months), and items in jars can dry up quicker than this if the lid is not tightened well enough (Vitamin C Serums - use within 90 days).
Please Keep Your Products Out of Humidity, Heat, Direct Light and in a Dark Cabinet When Possible
Exfoliating Acid - products have a shelf life of 9-12 months. The only things we don't suggest refrigerating are the Mandelic Acid Serums or Salicylic Acid Serums, as they can crystallize in the refrigerator. If this happens, you can set the product into a hot water bath to see if the crystals will dissolve.
Additional Items That Require Refrigeration and/or Kept in the Dark
Hydrosols and Distillates - remove 1 ounce of hydrosol and add it to a separate, sterilized spray bottle and spritzer. Keep the larger bottle in the refrigerator. Carrier and Exotic Oils - generally refrigerate all carrier oils, although some very rich oils will solidify. This is fine. All you have to do is take the oil out, warm it up at room temperature, and it should liquefy. If not, set the bottle in a hot water bath and occasionally shake the bottle, which will hopefully turn into a liquid. Some oils, like coconut cream and jojoba oil, have a super long shelf life.
Refrigeration of The Following Ingredients is Not Necessary, But it Won't hurt
Essential Oils - essential oils are best stored in a cool, dark place. Co2 Extracts - these should continually be refrigerated. Butters - we suggest refrigerating our "skincare" butters. You can remove what you need and keep the rest in the fridge. Clays - keep in a dry, dark place. Shelf life is at least 2 years. Herbs All herbs <i>(whole or ground)</i> should be kept in a dark, cool, and dry location. Herbal (liquid) Extracts are created using grain alcohol. The alcohol pulls the constituents (properties) from each herb, root, trunk, leaf, and flower. They have a shelf life of 3-5 years. They can be stored in the refrigerator or a dark, dry place. Other Raw Ingredients - such as Sodium PCA, Honeyquat, Oat Beta Glucan, etc., will all have different shelf lives.
Shipping Transit Note: Some customers have asked whether products can be affected by time in transit, especially during warmer months. Our products are formulated and preserved to remain stable during normal shipping times and should not spoil simply from being in transit.
That said, if you are concerned about heat exposure, you are welcome to add an ice pack to your order for extra peace of mind. Click here to add an ice pack.

This is a fantastic everyday facial cleanser, but I wanted to share another use—it’s the absolute best “feminine” cleanser ever! Hopefully most of us know not to use soaps with harsh pH that can cause problems down there, but sometimes I felt like a water-only wash wasn’t quite enough. Super sensitive cleansing oil to the rescue! I’ve never felt fresher since using this product. Cleanses without stripping or disrupting your most delicate skin’s balance. Perfect!

Great Cleansing oil
This cleansing oil is wonderful! I have super sensitive, rosacea skin and I am always looking for a gentle cleanser that will remove my makeup and SPF at the same time. This does! I rub the oil in to loosen everything up and then use a cotton ball to gently remove it. Works awesome! And it leaves my skin soft but not greasy or irritated. I would also like to give customer service an A+ as they are great to deal with. Especially Jen who patiently works with me on choosing products:)
Hi Lori!
We’re blushing harder than your rosacea, and not from irritation!
We are happy to hear that the Super Sensitive Cleansing Oil is doing its job like a gentle little makeup ninja ~ sneaks in, dissolves everything, and vanishes without a trace (or greasy ⚙️ residue).
And yes, Jen is basically the skincare whisperer.
We’re pretty sure she deserves her own fan club at this point.
Thanks for the love and the A+.. we’re hanging it on the fridge!

Effective, even for acne-prone skin
I purchased this product approximately 2 years ago for the first time and it is the only oil cleanser I will ever use. It has properly cleaned my face from any and all face products, and in experimenting to see if just using it as my only cleanser (no double cleansing) would help reduce my frequent acne breakouts, it has!
This is awesome! Double cleansing has always given us a level of concern so to hear your thoughts really help to solidify
our thoughts. Keep us updated with your progress!
Wish you the best, Frankie

Not as good as others
This didn’t remove my very lightly applied concealer very well. I massaged the oil on my dry face for a good minute then rinsed with water to emulsify it and and removed all of that with water then I used my face wash with a white wash cloth to scrub my face and there was concealer all over the rag :/ won’t recommend or repurchase
Hi Shauna
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with our Super Sensitive Cleansing Oil. I'm truly sorry to hear it didn’t perform as expected for removing your concealer, especially after you gave it a full, proper try with gentle massage and emulsification. I noticed you had purchased this previously as well. I am sorry for this recent outcome.
Our goal is always to create products that are both gentle and effective, especially for sensitive skin. It’s clear from your review that this one didn’t meet your needs, and we sincerely appreciate your honest feedback. We’ll absolutely take it into consideration as we continue refining our formulations. If you’re open to it, we’d love to learn more about your routine or the specific product you were trying to remove, as that might help us recommend a more suitable option for you, or pass helpful notes along to our lab.
Thank you again for giving us a try, and for helping us to improve our product selection.

Wound Healing Oil
I have a scar that is a year old. After using a silicone scar cream for a whole year, it was still burning, itchy, raised and red. I started applying Wound Healing Oil twice a day. Within a few days, the itching and burning was under control. It's been 5 months now and the redness has subsided and the scar is starting to flatten. It's a slow process, but it's working.
The BEST lil balm I’ve ever used. And I’ve been round a time or two. Absolutely decadent.
Miles,
I LOL when I read this because I thought of Dolly Parton's 'Best Little Whorehouse in Texas', the movie. Aside from the laugh, thank you for the wonderful review.
I absolutely adore this balm as well.
Markey 🤠
this cleanser didn't work for me, but i give it 4 stars because it seems to be a well formulated product that most skin types would like. i have extremely sensitive skin, eczema and rosacea, and i find if i use it more than two or three times a week i get kind of pink and blotchy. the cleanser has a lovely slippery texture, spreads and rinses very easily. it is quite concentrated so it should last a good while. it has a nice grainy, oaty scent that some people may not like (the aroma doesn't linger). here is a handy tip-if you are annoyed by the label getting wet and sticky when you touch it, try covering it with a few coats of clear nail polish, it really helps!
Hi Donna, thank you for sharing your detailed experience. We're glad you appreciated the formulation and texture, and we appreciate your tip about protecting the label.
Sorry to hear it isn't ideal for your sensitive skin, but your feedback will be taken back to
our next meeting for discussion. 🧐 Nail Polish is a great idea! Our labels are 'water-resistant' but not waterproof.
Thanks for your support!

Hi D R
Thank you for your kind review.
I am always such a goober about oils, and I wanted to mention that oils don't offer hydration
just conditioning, etc., although they are excellent to add after a hydration step in your routine to hold the moisture to the skin.
Wishing you all the best in your skincare journey.
Markey 🌸🌸🌸
Hi DR,
Thank you for your feedback.
Squalane is so popular, so your experience will help others decide whether it is the right choice for their skin.
