Botanical Cleansing Oil

Botanical Cleansing Oil

A transformative, silky liquid that turns your daily cleanse into an act of self-care and advocacy.

The Botanical Cleansing Oil is a powerhouse formula designed to effortlessly dissolve the day—melting away stubborn makeup, water-resistant sunscreen, and environmental buildup on contact. Crafted with lightweight botanical oils, this cleanser features a "slippy" texture that glides across the skin, deep-cleaning pores without stripping away essential moisture. Upon contact with water, it emulsifies into a gentle, milky lotion that rinses perfectly clean, leaving your complexion soft, fresh, and free of residue.

Infused with an aromatic blend of Geranium, Grapefruit, and Lavender, this oil provides a spa-like, herbaceous experience that calms the senses while purifying the skin. It is the perfect first step for all skin types, especially those seeking a deep, satisfying cleanse that respects the skin’s natural barrier.

Founded by Allison in 2016 and handmade in California, our brand is built on the pillars of Conscious Capitalism. We reject "greenwashing" in favor of radical transparency, small-batch ethical manufacturing, and a pioneering refillable packaging system.

Self-care is an act of resilience. Our products are designed to replenish your spirit so you can continue the hard work of driving change. We are proud members of 1% For the Planet, meaning at least 1% of every purchase goes directly to environmental and human rights advocacy—supporting organizations like Earthjustice, Rainforest Trust, and the National Immigrant Justice Center.
