Frequently Asked Questions

An oil cleanser is a type of facial cleanser that is formulated with oils. Unlike traditional foaming cleansers that strip the skin of its natural oils, oil cleansers work by breaking down oil-based impurities, such as makeup, sunscreen and sebum, and then rinsing them away with water.

To use an oil cleanser, start by massaging a small amount of the product onto dry skin using your fingers. Rub the oil into your skin in circular motions for a minute or two, focusing on areas where you have heavy makeup or buildup, including around the eye area. Then, wet your face with warm water and continue to massage the oil into your skin until it emulsifies into a milky consistency. Finally, rinse your face thoroughly with water.

Yes, oil cleansers can be suitable for all skin types, including oily skin. While it may seem counterintuitive to use oil on oily skin, the right oil cleanser can actually help regulate sebum production and prevent breakouts. Our Oil Cleanser is formulated with lightweight, non-comedogenic oils that won't clog your pores and act as an anti-inflammatory.

Yes, oil cleansers can be effective for removing makeup, including heavy and waterproof makeup. The oils used in oil cleansers are able to break down and dissolve silicone and oil-based impurities, making it easier to remove makeup without harsh scrubbing or tugging at the skin.

There is no one "best" oil for oil cleansing, as the most effective oil for you will depend on your individual skin type and concerns. However, here are a few oils that are considered non-comedogenic, with a balanced ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acids that are capable of soothing irritated skin and acting as powerful antioxidations that we have included in our formula including Jojoba Seed Oil, Grapeseed Oil, Apple seed Oil, Oat Kernel Oil and Pomegranate Seed Oil.

Favourite Cleanser

I love this cleanser, second time purchasing it. It easily removes sunscreen and makeup, the oil to milk texture is amazing, and it’s the only oil cleanser I’ve used that leaves skin moisturised and fresh, with no oily residue.

I am so happy with this Oil Cleanser for my skin and absolutely love using it, it is the most effective oil cleanser I have found and has a gorgeous jelly texture that melts into the skin and with a little moisture turns into a soft cleansing milk. It effortlessly removes traces of makeup and sunscreen and leaves my skin beautifully soft, nourished and perfectly cleansed. I noticed a difference after the very first time using it. This would have to be one of my Eunoia favourites and can’t recommend it enough. I have been using the 5 step regime for about a year and still get excited to use it every day!

Biome Ceramide Oil Cleanser Heaven

This cleanser is by far the best cleanser I have ever used. I love the way it melts on my face into a beautiful velvety milk. Using the oil cleanser followed by the gentle cleanser removes my makeup entirely with very minimal effort. After only one week switching over to the Eunoia products my skin changed significantly for the better. I can’t wait to see how my skin further improves.

Best cleanser in NZ- so gentle yet I can see all my makeup SPF and dirt on my face almost 'melting off'. Love the fact it also easily removes mascara.
The jelly-texture is just lovely, and doesn't leave your skin oily, more soft and renewed.
The whole process of cleaning my face feels like luxurious self-care.
Will be buying again for sure!

Amazing Cleanser!

I absolutely love this cleanser. I had never used an oil cleanser before, but it’s so great for removing makeup…My skin feels clean, and super soft afterwards. As part of the 3 step system i have been using for 1 month, I have definitely noticed an improvement in my skin. Would recommend!
