Key Ingredients:

Organic Castor seed oil (canada): High in ricinoleic acid, castor oil binds to dirt and impurities to draw them from the skin while conditioning and supporting the moisture barrier. Non-comedogenic and deeply emollient.

Local Milk thistle seed oil: Rich in linoleic acid and silymarin, a potent antioxidant complex that protects against oxidative damage, reduces inflammation, and helps regulate sebum production in congested or sensitized skin.

Organic and house grown Mugwort leaf infusion: Contains flavonoids, sesquiterpenes, and natural terpenes with anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. Calms redness and irritation, and supports skin barrier function in reactive skin types.

Organic macerated Juniper berry oil: Antiseptic and astringent, Juniper helps decongest pores, reduce excess oiliness, and tone the skin. Traditionally used for its clarifying and purifying properties.

Pink Grapefruit peel oil: High in limonene and antioxidants. Mildly astringent, supports circulation, and helps brighten a dull complexion. Contributes a fresh citrus note to the formula.

Apply a small amount to dry or damp skin and massage gently in circular motions over the face and neck, allowing the oils to dissolve makeup, sunscreen, and impurities. Rinse thoroughly with warm water or remove with a warm damp cloth. Follow with facial serum or moisturizer. Suitable for morning and evening cleansing.

Made in small batches using fresh botanical ingredients. For best aroma, and performance, use within 8 months of opening (stable up to 1 year unopened). Store in a cool, dark place away from heat and sunlight."

I developed this cleanser because I wanted an oil cleanse that actually felt complete on its own, without needing a second cleanse to follow. Mugwort and milk thistle were a natural pairing for me, both botanicals I'd been working with separately and wanted to bring together in a formula that could handle a full day of sunscreen and makeup while still being gentle enough for reactive skin.

The grapefruit and neroli give it a brightness that makes it a genuinely pleasant way to start or end the day. I use it in the evening as my first step, massaged into dry skin before rinsing, and my skin consistently feels soft and balanced afterward, never tight.
