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.

Rice Bran Oil (cold pressed/unrefined) moisturizes, softens, high in fatty acids

Passion Fruit Oil (cold pressed/gently refined) conditioning, emollient, protective, nourishing

Hemp Seed Oil (cold pressed/unrefined) anti-inflammatory, emollient without a greasy residue, antioxidant

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!
Your GoW Team

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.

Amazing gentle cleanser

I suffer from perioral dermatitis and it's hard to find a cleanser gentle enough for everyday use so this has been an absolute godsend

Hi Sophie 😍
This makes us put on our dancing shoes, for real!
When someone is suffering from anything ~ (perioral dermatitis is really up there), we are relieved
to hear when a product or even a lifestyle change has helped! Yep, we love to hear about anything to pass on to other customers who sometimes need a glimmer of hope, and to have another person share their success can make such a huge difference.
OK, off my soapbox (for now).
Thank you, Sophie
