Why we stand behind it
A luxurious oil cleanser crafted to effectively remove makeup and impurities, while leaving the skin feeling dewy, fresh and moisturized.
This facial in a bottle harnesses a triple-action ingredient system that effectively removes makeup and other daily surface buildup, while giving back to, not stripping, the skin ensuring each use reinvigorates.
Upon contact with water, this oil cleanser transforms into a milky emulsion offering a double-cleanse action in one simple step ensuring a beautifully clear and radiant finish.
Key ingredients
Vitamin E: A powerful emollient and antioxidant, this ingredient helps soothe and maintain skin condition.
Chia , Rosehip, Macadamia and Camellia seed oils: These classic botanicals help soften and nourish the skin condition.
Flower Enzymes: Help gently remove excess dead skin cells that could lead to dullness, for a brighter, clearer complexion.

An undertone is the color beneath the surface of your skin, which never changes (even with a tan). There are three types of undertones:
Pink/Cool
I see red or pink undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin burns easily, but barely tans.
My skin looks better in silver jewelry than gold.
Neutral
I see both pink and yellow undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin sometimes burns and sometimes tans.
My skin looks good in both gold and silver jewelry.
Yellow/Warm
I see yellow or golden undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin rarely burns, but tans easily.
My skin looks better in gold jewelry than silver.

Pro-tip
Emma's Tip: If cleansing in the shower, I recommend cooling the water temperature slightly when cleansing your face to avoid drying out your skin.

"This is an excellent cleansing oil, removing make up easily- and unlike some cleansing oils, this one does not sting my eyes. My skin feels hydrated and comfortable after cleansing. I am finding that with continued use my skin tone is looking more even and my skin feels more supple and has a lovely clean glow. I recommend this lovely product from Emma Lewisham."

"I've only recently switched to the oil based cleanser and I I'm loving it . I have mature skin but still prone to congestion. Along with the blemish serum and the exfoliating cleanser from Emma's range I can confidently and happily say, I can see some improvement. Products smell divine and feel nice on your skin. Any help needed with the products, I have received quick responses from the team. Definitely keep buying and will go onto a subscription so I'll never run out!"
